The Orient Express was always a dream of mine and became reality when my fiance bought me a Red Letter Day to go on it. It was everything I'd dreamt it to be, and more. It was a day I will never forget and will always cherish. The staff were amazing, the food was out of this world and the train was magical as the lady who took us on our tour rightly said.
The trip lived up to all expectations and beyond. Our Red Letter Day was eagerly anticipated. A trip on The Orient Express conjured up all the elegance of a bygone age with hints of mystery a la Agatha Christie. As it turned out our expectations were in many ways exceeded. The service was impeccable and there was indeed a mystery. The mystery of the 2 failed engines! What are the odds of both engines failing on the same day? Unfortunately we did not have the services of engineering's answer to Hercule Poirot, but the staff were fantastic and fed us with exquisite food and drink. In addition to this we now have the anticipation of a further trip as compensation. A memorable day!
