Spotlight: {The Orient-Express}

{Imagine travelling from Paris to Vienna back in 1883 when this most lavish long-distance passenger train came into existence... Today, the ultimate life-time experience encompasses an fusion of luxury cruise, hotel and railway adventures in 25 countries across five continents. World-renowned destinations include the sanctuary of Machu Picchu, the Amalfi coast, the Angkor Wat temple, and Australia’s Blue Mountains...sigh!}

  6. Oh my word -- I love love love this post! I think that is has to be one of my favorites, ever. I cannot imagine how amazing it must have been to travel during that time. Traveling was so much more elegant than it is now. I still dress up of course to travel, but it always amazes me that people show up in fitness wear and flip flops. I suppose each person should express their own style, but there is something to be said for the effort of what was so long ago...

    thank you for taking us on a little trip :)

  7. Thank you for sharing these photos. What an amazing trip it would be to have had or have an opportunity to ride the Oriental Express. I just think traveling by train is more attractive, personally. There's just something about being able to stay on the ground, but traveling with restaurant, beds - intriguing really. Lovely post.
