Our train to Rome left Florence at around 5 in the evening and took about 3 hours. We could have got an express train in about half the time, but our inter-rail tickets didn't cover this and we would have had to pay 25 pounds so we put up with the longer journey. My friend Terry from Halifax had arranged to come over and visit us whilst we were in Rome, and he had managed to get in the same room as us, let alone the same hostel. The hostel was really close to ...

The train journey to Florence was an experience. We actually slept quite well in the cramp sleeper carridge, which we shared with two other people. We were woken up at about 6am by the rude Itaian conductor, who shoved us a greasy cake each and some strong coffee. Next stop Florence... It was quite a change for us to be out and about so early. We had to get another train to the main train station, then it was a short walk to our hostel. It was a nice sunny day. ...

We were up early in Innsbruck and down to the station for a 9 o'clock train to Geneva. We had a 3 hour journey to Zurich, then a quick change and a similar distance to Genava airport. Again the journey seemed to fly by as we had been used to longer voyages earlier in our trip, and there was so much scenery to take in along the way as we passed numerous lakes and mountains. We were both particularly excited (especially Amy) when we found out that the second train ...

The train journey from Munich to Innsbruck was really scenic. We went right though the mountains and it was a nice sunny day. We were staying with my Austrain friend Kristina who I used to live with in Spain. She met us at the station and we got the bus up to her flat. Innsbruck is a really scenic town right in the mountains. I was amazed by the view she has from her flat , which is quite high up. We made a curry for tea and drank some special vodka we we had be...

We arrived in Munich late on Saturday 14th March after an 8 hour journey that dragged more than most we have had on this trip. When we left our hostel in Prague we had to walk to the train station nearby to get the tube to the central station. We made it easily enough, but had no time to buy food for the upcoming journey. To make matters worse, the first station the train stopped at was the one right next to our hostel. If we had known that was the route we coul...
