The joys of train travel were somewhat dampened by a couple of close calls on transfers between trains - Zermatt to Brig was fine, but we had a close call when we changed at Milan. We made the train with seconds to spare, but made it nonetheless.
Interrail passes make it easy to show tickets aboard the trains, with pass and reservations all available online. As all the trains provide power sockets for charging, there’s little danger of phones dying.
Our arrival in Rome benefitted from the realisation that our hotel was just metres from the station. Bags dumped, we headed out into the city. The highlights included the Trevi fountain, but especially a couple of hours spent visiting Castel Sant’Angelo - former tomb, prison, barracks, papal home and now a fabulous museum.

A wander around Rome was completed by a stunning vegan meal at the amazing Ecru raw food restaurant to celebrate Richard’s birthday in style.
