Our 30-day Europe trip covered parts of Italy, Switzerland, and Croatia. I had been to Italy and Switzerland but this time my parents decided to join me and my cousin. With parents, backpacking was not an option. So, we had a good number of breaks in Milan. The trip started in mid-June and ended in mid-July. Must make a mention that summer in these parts was not a great idea. Not even Switzerland! Global warming has pretty much messed up the seasons big big time! I was shocked to find Switzerland a lot warmer than usual. The hotels did not have fans or AC for obvious reasons but we did feel the need for one. Croatia was the warmest! I have vowed, that trips to southern Europe in summer are definitely a no-no!
We flew from Delhi to Milan Via Kuwait on Kuwait Airways.
