Got permission from Mrs Fox to have a few days away. So Heres what i fancy

fly to Rome
Day to Pompeii by train
Train to Venice, and overnight stop , back to Rome
Fly back

So is Rome Walkable eg walking times Vatican-Trevi Fountain. Colesseum etc doing all the touristy sights

And Ditto Venice. Due to B awful return flight times from there to LHR intend train out from Rome arr about midday hotel for the night and then leaving Venice by train back to Rome about the same time for the evening flight home. so are the Venice walkable as well.From 12-6 on arrival and 09.00-12.00 the day after, am i allocating plenty of time? ( no gags about good swimmer etc please!!! Heard tem all from the 'friends' i asked. Thought PH would be a better place to enquire!

OK having a rethink on this, still want to do the three, but instead of a Rome-Venice return. the BA flight from LHR to Venice gets in mid morning, so will have the pm ( Day 1) and the AM (Day 2) then train to Rome that afternoon evening. gives me three 2 days to do Rome and one for Pompeii, i am an early rise so the first train out to Naples is no prob and last one!! back type of thing
Mrs Fox thinks the outside eating is a bit expensive, dont want Michelin star quality, but i work on the assumption 'If the locals use it, then it cant be that bad'!! sort of off main drag establishments type of thing. Any comments?
