Eastern & Oriental Express!

In a burst of absolute extravagance, Andrew and I spent three days this week on the Eastern & Oriental Express, travelling from Bangkok, through rural Thailand and Malaysia, to Singapore. It was fabulous! We love train journeys anyway, and this one was perfect. It combined fascinating scenery, wonderful food, good company and a delicious old-world ambience. Very Agatha Christie-ish, though as far as we know there were no murders committed ...

We're now in a hotel room with a brief window in which to upload stuff, so I'm going to dispense with words and just post a few pics. Enjoy.

Thanks Carole! There are too many great train journeys on my bucket list to count ... but the ones in India look especially tempting right now ...
