My readers know my love for trains in general and for old steam trains in particular. I read recently this article from the Financial Times about the most famous train of all, the Orient Express. It is 100 years this year and it still provides services. I knew it, nevertheless this feels surreal. It seems to be pure railway journey porn, mixed with nostalgia porn, nevertheless it would be my dream holiday. Probbly because it sells luxury, decadent railway travel and nostalgia. And at a very high price: a one day initerary from Paris to Venice starts at £2,750 per person, which is waaayyy above what I can afford. All the same, I would really love to try it just once.

I'd love to go on the Orient Express too! Pricey, though, very pricey. I guess that keeps out the riff-raff (like us, LOL!)
