The first leg of our French journey was spent at Annecy. I felt a little anxious about this because I had bought the Geneve to Annecy train tickets online (and stupidly bought a specific connection rather than a normal point to point) but when I remembered about the Lausanne-Geneve tickets the day before, it wasContinue reading “23 days Italy, Switzerland and France trip on trains- France part 1”

Result: charged 180 Euro insteadContinue reading “23 days Italy, Switzerland and France trip by train- Italy part 1”

We are visiting Italy, Switzerland and France all in one-go to save on airplane fares since we are never taking budget flights. Below is the skeletonContinue reading “Upcoming European trip in May”
