At the end of last June I flew to Milan with Marcus, then travelled to Florence and Tuscany.  After a week I met Nat and Leanne in Switzerland for a week.  We stayed with Denise, a Swiss volleyball friend of Nat's in Olten for a week, visiting Lucerne, Zurich, and Bern.  When Nat and Leanne flew on to London I went on alone to Interlaken, Zermatt, Montreaux and Lucerne.  I was a bit apprehensive about travelling on my own for the first time, but it turned out to be a great couple of weeks.   Unfortunately, one of my rolls of film didn't turn out, so lots of the photos are missing.
