Switzerland in July
1st July 2009 to 8th July 2009

A family holiday based on Interlaken - with a Swiss Pass - but only really got to see any trains as incidental to the day's activities, except for a trip to Wassen on the way back to Zurich. So no theme here other than some Swiss train (and boat) photos.
