In July 1984 I went to the USA to further my studies. I took the opportunity to spend 6 weeks in Europe en route. I had a stopover in Bangkok, landed in Amsterdam, travelled south to Belgium. From there I went to Strasbourg, entered Switzerland through Geneva, headed east to Austria but crossed the Alps into Germany near Salzburg. From Hannover I bought a point-to-point ticket to Berlin, as this was not covered by Eurailpass, experiencing transit through Cold War East Germany. I returned to the Netherlands and took a ferry to UK, where I had friends in London. There were side trips to Wales and Cornwall and I reached Lands End.
I did not keep a diary so the dates are approximate. It doesn't matter anyway as there are only about 100 slides worth and they tend to cluster around sights I found attractive. Those were the days before digital photography when film was expensive.
