useful tip... If no comfortable seats left on the overnight journeys, bung the guard a few ciggies and kip in the freight wagon

I went off to Rome last month, and i'm looking at going to Tenerife in November. Was planning on Mexico, but both the job situation and Swine Flu have put a dampener on that.

I'll keep that in mind. So you've done it before then (interrailing)?

in 86 and 88, so things have probably changed!
great way of seeing europe
Been thinking of doing it again, but with hotels instead of youth hostel camp sites and overnight trains for accommodation!

I interrailed in 84. Had a plan but it got ditched fairly quickly and we just got on trains according to how long the journey was and whether we could sleep on them. I'm not sure how safe the sleeping on trains was, we heard some horror stories, but we had no trouble. I think the youth hostels are probably much better now too.
We had a great time.

Got back today from 5 days in Jersey. Bloody lovely! I'm sure it's just like most places in the UK in that its always nicer when the sun shines, but what a great place to spend a few days. We had blue skies all week and temperatures of 20+ each day.
I would recommend a stay for a few days but it's maybe a little expensive when you include flights.

Yeah been a couple of times, never in the summer though so can't offer any useful tips
We know a few people who live in the Alps though and they reckon it's the most lively resort (and biggest ski area) in the summer so that's why we're going there
Last time I went we got caught up in a storm near the top of the mountain, it got to about -37 wind chill and we got escorted off by the mountain staff (all our beards that we were growing for a laugh froze!) but I would hope it won't be like that in July

I take it you are impressed with the Colosseum?:icon_bigg
It was impressive, as was the rest of the city. We managed to get a cheat hotel within about 300 yards of it. Absolutely perfect location.
Couldn't compare it to the Pyramids though. They are amazingly impressive.

Stockholm is a great place to visit and the grounds are pretty good too, especially Djurgarden. They love English football fans too. We got free badges from all the grounds we went to.
