Veronica and Brett’s Interrailing Trip...

Veronica and Brett took their first Interrail train journey together through Western Europe for two weeks beginning in late May. They were accompanied on part of the trip by Dan and on the entire trip by Paul, two other physics PhD students from Exeter. Veronica travelled alone to meet them in Innsbruck, Austria after their conference in Vienna. You can read all about the trip on her blog. Here you will find my favorite photos from their trip. 

These two photos were taken on their hike to Grawa Waterfall.

They really loved taking the Transalpin Panorama Train from Innsbruck to Zurich, where they then caught regular trains to their Swiss destination of Lucerne. 

I was really pleased that they met up with Bill, our old San Diego hash buddy, for a walk along Lake Lucerne.

Veronica and Brett couldn’t pass up the chance for a swim in that beautiful lake.

Their next stop was Lake Como, which was clearly beautiful but they were a bit overwhelmed by the extreme crowds.

Veronica and Brett enjoyed a swim in this beautiful area of Nesso, between Como and Bellagio.

She was the only one of their group brave enough (or stupid enough, depending upon how you look at it) to jump off Ponte della Civera, a lovely stone bridge.

Their next stop was Menton, France, east of Nice. It was one of Veronica’s favorite places they visited with its vibrant colors.

They continued heading west to Marseilles so they could hike at the Parc National des Calanques.

Their final stop was Voorschoten, where they were kind enough to take care of Kati for the weekend.
