Switzerland
May 28 - 30, 2008 (3D2N): 3rd stop of our 2008 Euro Trip where Euro to USD was at an all time high!! Prior to arriving in Switzerland, I visited another friend at London and we traveled to Paris together. We were lucky enough to have a friend working at Merrill’s office in Geneva, so we stayed with him for 2 nights. Our train from Pairs arrived in Zurich first, which had a small, charming village. It is quite small, so we only spent half a day there before hopping on the evening train to Geneva. After this trip, we continued our journey to Milan.
