The "Let's Go Europe" book has been of tremendous help in deciding which part of the country I should spend most of my time in. After a careful examination, I have come to a conclusion that camping is the only means of keeping the costs low which also gives me lots of freedom ( no bed-by-11:30PM stays in hostels ). Does any one have any idea on the climate during the months of May and June in Switzerland? If it is going to be cold, I must invest in buying a good sleeping bag; if it is going to be wet, my tent must be able to withstand the rain and wind; etc. Thanks in advance.
