[Leica] Trains in Europe question.

[Philippe]

That’s a wonderful programme!

Barcelona is a must - Lluis is its main attraction ;-)
We were there some years ago late October, and felt it was still like (our) summer.

Northern Italy won’t be too hot then, but could be rainy.

And Switzerland is a beautiful garden. Do not make it too late in October - the forests are absolutely gorgeous in their fall colours - there might also be early snow falls.

Wetzlar, unless you are to meet some Leica folks there or are attending a workshop, is just a curiosity I think. The old town center is nice though. 
Check on the weather stats there, it might be rainier than Northern Italy at that period … 

Amities
