The family holiday to Vienna at the end of May was disrupted when Rob Shepherd, husband of Shine Radio's Laura Shepherd, fell and broke his leg.

He needed hospital care, a major operation and then transport home.

He is on the mend now, four weeks later after a two week stay in a Vienna Hospital.

Travel Insurance is vital and he highly recommends it and his phone was a vital piece of equipment too.

Despite the serious injury - he has a lengthy scar - he enjoyed the Vienna he got to see!
