Every now and then I go through the process of booking the 5 day Paris -> Istanbul once a year run of the orient express.

Then I remember that it's €38,000 (plus a new wardrobe for two since it's a black-tie affair) I slowly move the mouse to the "X" and close the window.

Might have to do it if I ever have a windfall but not yet.

How super wealthy tourists are making a parallel Italy for themselves.

Operated by the Orient Express, the new La Dolce Vita train lines will create a heavily curated version of Italy for the super wealthy.

Starting next year, the exclusive and super luxurious train service ‘La Dolce Vita’ will depart Italian train stations and travel a collective 16,000 km of railway lines across the peninsula.

Look what I found on the adjacent platform at Verona Porto Nuova Station, after I returned from Venice yesterday!

I stepped over and asked a staff member what was going on, and he explained that the train was being repositioned. No customers on board, hence the staff wearing casual clothing.

Nice to see the Venice-Simplon Orient Express! I will get aboard one day.

Seit den 1980er-Jahren konnte man die Reise bereits von dort aus beginnen – etwa nach Venedig – ab 2024 fährt der Orient Express London nicht mehr an.

When the Orient Express began operating in the 19th century, passports were optional.

But Brexit and 21st-century biometric checks are killing off the romance of crossing borders for modern passengers looking for the nostalgia of the luxury train journey that inspired Agatha Christie and Hollywood.

From next year British passengers will have to join the train in Paris.

Brexit, the gift that keeps on giving.

Appears soon, we'll need to provide information about convictions and parents names to travel.

“It was made clear in 2018 that a hard would mean UK citizens having their passports checked. This really is Brexit biting everyone on the backside.”

Yes. Even if for most of us, our experience is limited to watching the film.
