As September creeps closer, I grow more and more anxious to go to a new country and learn a new language. Until then I need to fill my time. What better way to spend two long hot months other than travel and adventure! My boys are at their grandparents until the end of August and I am not going to just sit around in Zürich and do nothing. A few friends and I decided to take one last hurrah trip before we all go our separate ways. We have been planning, texting and planning some more. At first we thought we would just travel around Italy for a week and hang out on the beach. As both of my friends are going back to the U.S. and a visit to a single country is no proper way to say goodbye to such a beautiful continent, we’ve decided to extend our horizons and venture to 6 other countries in just 9 short days. Why would we waste our time on one country when we are so close to so many other countries and cultures?
Our 9 day trip will start on a night train from Zürich to Berlin. We spend the day and night in Berlin and then we venture onto Prague. After a day in Prague we take a night train from Prague to Warsaw where we will spend a day and then we head off to Budapest. From there we head to Vienna and then Venice for two days. After Venice we spend a day in Milan. The world’s fair is in Milan right now and we really didn’t want to miss that. I cannot wait to see more of Europe this summer. I am also planning to explore more of Switzerland. I have now lived here for a year and I haven’t seen nearly enough of this beautiful country. Interlaken, Bern and the Cailler chocolate factory are just a few places on my list.
If you guys have any suggestions of places I should visit I am open to any suggestions. Leave your comments below or email me at riley@rileycochran.me
