Grindelwald!

Two days of perfect clear weather! Beautiful.
We left Venice at 2:20 by train to Milan. Then, Mila to Domodossola to Brig (we had a Swiss Pass so only bought a ticket to Domo), to Spietz, to Interlaken Ost, to Grindelwald. We got into Grindewald right at low light/sunset. Stunning! I have 600 photos and every single one of them is incredible.

Verona and Venice

We drove out of lovely Lake Como yesterday and ditched the car in Milan. Yeay for trains! A lunch picnic on the train and then we're meeting back up with Nicole in Verona.

In Verona, we took a gelato-making class and walked around old town Verona - it's beautiful! Brenna and I had a lovely dinner and passeggiata (while Nicole was sleeping/fighting a bad cold). We’ll spend the day here and head to Venice for this evening and tomorrow.
