Homeward bound - and a fare comparison
 
Homeward bound - and a fare comparison

"I'm on a train"!

Lisa and I did not have our return plans mapped out when we set out - what - 18 days ago, but we are headed home today - booked a couple of days ago.   Out of interest, I checked on Rail Europe yesterday to see what fare it offered, see below per person.   I will stress this is NOT what I paid - I am on another Interrail pass which runs until midJanuary, and cost me less than the figure quoted just for today's journey.  Lisa is on a shorter pass.
