A trip to the picturesque town of Vaduz via the likes of Switzerland, Germany and Austria provided some 3,000 members of the Red Wall with one last hoorah when it came to their 2025 travels.
It was ultimately a case of job done as far as Wales' coaching staff and squad were concerned as they left the German-speaking nation with all three points, and a clean sheet to go with it, to keep their hopes of finishing second in Group J firmly alive.
While some of Liechtenstein's finest scenery and sights, including their many bars and pubs, were fully explored by the Wales faithful, fans were made to endure a far nervier 90 minutes of action than they would have expected.
Wales laboured to an uninspiring 1-0 win over the side ranked 206th in the world by FIFA, with only US Virgin Islands, British Virgin Islands, Anguilla and San Marino sitting below Liechtenstein in the rankings.

Jordan James' first international goal on 61 minutes settled the contest at Rheinpark Stadion, one that Craig Bellamy's side dominated from start to finish.
And yet, their lack of guile and killer instinct in the final third against a team largely comprised of part-time players was something of a concern.
This was the first time in seven World Cup qualifying matches this year that Liechtenstein had gone into half-time having not conceded a goal in the opening 45 minutes.
They also ensured the Wales faithful had their hearts in their mouths as Sandro Wolfinger fired over in the 92nd minute as the visitors escaped major embarrassment.

In terms of possession and control, there was precious little wrong with Wales' showing, as former defender Ashley Williams was keen to stress.
"I was really impressed with us today," said the 41-year-old.
"I think it was the best we have played for four or five games. Even though people are going to look at the scoreline, I think we played well.
"I thought we played clever. It was like a well-oiled machine, it was just the end product we missed tonight."
While Williams' gushing praise of the display was challenged by most supporters, it was the lack of end product that was clearly the biggest worry.
Harry Wilson will return from suspension to face North Macedonia on Tuesday night while the likes of David Brooks and Brennan Johnson are among those vying for a starting spot at Cardiff City Stadium.

But Bellamy - who will be back on the touchline in the Welsh capital having served a suspension of his own in Vaduz - will again be without the injured trio of Ben Davies, Kieffer Moore and Ben Cabango.
He also has an almighty midfield dilemma, one it could be argued that was partly his own making given his second half substitutions at the weekend.
Ethan Ampadu and matchwinner Jordan James are both suspended for the visit of North Macedonia.
That means a significant reshuffle will be required in the centre of the pitch.
Patience will again be key on Tuesday, although this time, their opponents will actually be capable of getting up the pitch and carrying a genuine threat from set-plays and on the counter attack - the polar opposite to the capabilities of the players Wales faced on Saturday.
For Bellamy and the FAW, the ultimate goal remains in sight, though.
Beat North Macedonia and they will play at home in the semi-finals of the World Cup play-offs in March.
Fail to win and they will be on the road again - with a draw, held in Zurich on Thursday, to determine the host of the finals.
Another huge night at Cardiff City Stadium awaits.
