Backpacking on our own: 6/14-6/29

United Kingdom...Belgium...Germany...Austria...France...United Kingdom

Three of us spent two weeks backpacking through western Europe for the first part of our trip. Although we had an idea of where we'd visit before we left for Europe, our plans did change somewhat. The map below shows the route that we ended up taking (starting and ending in London), primarily by train, as we had the 15-day Eurail pass, which allowed us to take almost any train for free (city subways were not included, and we sometimes had to make reservations for special trains, which cost a little bit extra).

We had so many interesting experiences that I won't detail here. You'll find some of the highlights in our daily diary.

Look at our trip records, starting from 6/14. Some of the dates on the photos are wrong, but I've put them on the correct webpage. Here's a collage of our photos from our backpacking trip.
