This Saturday in Switzerland and Austria, Euro 2008 kicks off. I had so much fun at World Cup 2006 in Germany, that I was determined to go to the European Championships even if I didn't have tickets to any matches. The atmosphere generated by visiting football fans from numerous countries is unparalleled.

 

Mini and I are arriving in Geneva on Friday night, taking an evening flight after work. We'll spend 2 nights in Geneva. Then on Sunday (which I have designated as a travel day) we're going take a panoramic train from Geneva to Zurich, going through the Swiss Alps. We have a 2 hour stop for lunch in Interlaken, and are doing the trip on the Golden Pass train (http://www.goldenpass.ch). We arrive in Zurich Sunday evening and fly back the next night. Hopefully we'll have time to meet up with Alex, who travelled with me in Germany during the World Cup. It promises to be a good trip, and hopefully everything will go smoothly for us!
