EL MIRADOR

OUR TRAVEL SUMMARY:

We spent about a week in Switzerland in late July/early August. We flew into Geneva for a meeting I had, then took a train across the country to see Swiss National Park. One of my favorite parts of our time here was this cross-country train-ride!

We relied fully on public transit (trains for longer distances, bus and metro in Geneva). Accomodations-wise, we stayed at an Airbnb then at a campground outside Swiss National Park. Overall, Switzerland was beautiful though also REALLY expensive -- given high prices, we mainly cooked our own food which helped. While I'm a firm believer that you can make travel on a budget possible to most everywhere, this is definitely a place I felt that to be a challenge.
