!eparture into "egend

The #$rient%&xpress' was originally conceived by two men, (eorges )agelmackers and (eorge *ortimer +ullman, and built to standards of outrageous luxury late last century and early this. *any carriages were lost during the war. The remainder gradually fell into disuse and finally, in 1,--, the service was discontinued. The present owners began buying one carriage here, another there and restoring them in a way that has not so much become a legend as recreated one. Today's passenger's first sight of the train is of the magnificent &nglish #+ullman' cars waiting grandly at "ondon's .ictoria /tation for their prompt departure. Days of Days 0ust as you may take any sector of the "ondon%.enice route, so you may, of course, fly in to .enice and take the train in a northerly direction home. The route is exactly the same and in both directions we coincide lunch in all its splendour with the Alpine panoramas in all theirs. 1ut let us suppose that you are 2ourneying from "ondon south to .enice. 3our lunch, as you diddly%dum 4and you really do5 through the everpleasing countryside of 6ent, will be a taste of things to come. &x7uisite food flawlessly served in surroundings of magnificent opulence. At 8olkestone you will slip aboard the ferry, special accommodation reserved and refreshments available, to bid the white cliffs farewell and savour the prospect of the 9ontinental sector. 4cont.5

4cont.5 At 1oulogne the stewards are on the platform to welcome you aboard. 9ourteous and professional to a fault, they love the train and show it in everything they do. ;n your cabin, a private day room till its nightly transformation into a bedroom, you will be greeted by your luggage, yet more da<<ling mar7uetry and period brass fitments that will fascinate you. =npack. Try the gadgets so carefully demonstrated by your steward. +en a line home on the cards or writing paper provided. +lot your route on the map. 1ecause now you are well and truly on your 2ourney. ;f you are travelling only to +aris your dinner sitting will be the early one. 1ut early or late, it will be dinner worth calling dinner % and worth dressing for. 9ourse after tantalising course cooked to perfection by superb 8rench chefs, accompanied by famous wines and formally served in restaurant cars each differently appointed but e7ually devastating in its Twenties opulence. 3et not even with the brandy is your evening over. 8or as you retrace your footsteps live piano music lures you to the 1ar%/alon. A Night to Remember And so, with your cabin miraculously transformed, top sheet turned down and reading lamp left thoughtfully aglow, to bed. As the train pauses at daybreak your steward will tiptoe past your cabin to pick up the morning papers and fresh croissants.

9ontinental breakfast, served in your cabin at the time you arranged, sees you stopping at >urich before the real ascent begins. =p and up you climb, the views ever grander as you head for the di<<ying Arlberg +ass and its six% and%a%half miles of ama<ing tunnel, then a brief stop at /t. Anton before lunch. "unch, as we promised is a scenic one. Towering forests, and peaks you have to crane to see, alternate with pretty waterfalls and rushing streams to take your breath away. ;nnsbruck, #Roof (arden of &urope' is yet to come, the colossal 1renner +ass where Austria 2oins ;taly, and then the grand descent through the !olomites to .erona and across the .enetian +lain to the most romantic city in the world. Venice the Unforgettable 8ew would dispute that the train 2ourney is a difficult act to follow. &ven fewer, however, would dispute that if one city can follow it at all, it is certainly .enice. $ver ?? pala<<i line the (rand canal. 4?? pictures7ue bridges link island to island in a web of secluded s7uares, narrow streets and tiny gardens. .enice is a splendid prelude or a grand finale to the world's most romantic adventure. 8rom .enice you can now travel on to ;stanbul, the train's original destination, by sea. 1oard the *. #$rient &xpress' for a week%long cruise back to .enice calling at +iraeus for Athens and the +arthenon, ;stanbul, 6usadasi for &phesus, +atmos and finally 6atakolon for $lympia. 4From Progress to First Certificate5

$nce, the name #.ietnam' signified not so much a country as a bruta !ung e "ar or a spectacu ar fai ure of American power. ;n recent years, however, the lifting of .ietnamese government restrictions and the boom in budget trave ing, have enabled more contemporary and relevant portraits of the country to gain currency in the est. An understanding of history still goes a long way in .ietnam, since the country has a uni#ue civi isation and a high y cu tured peop e, but nobody needs to swot to be entranced by the sub i$e scenery, the de icious cuisine and the opportunity to witness the invigorating, ear y days of .ietnam's renewed contact with the est.

Ko 9hi *inh 9ity is a bustling, dynamic and industrious centre, the econo$ic capita and the cu tura trendsetter of .ietnam. The streets, where much of the citys life takes place, is a myriad of shops, stalls, stands% on%wheels and vendors selling wares spread out on sidewalks. The city churns, fer$ents, bubb es and fu$es. 3et within the tee$ing $etropo is are the ti$e ess traditions and beauty of an ancient cu ture. 9entral Ko 9hi *inh 9ity is the place to be on /unday and holiday nights. The streets are !a$%pac&ed with young locals cruising the town on bicycles and motorbikes, out to see and be seen. +ham )gu "ao and !e Tham /ts form the axis of /aigons haven of budget eateries. *agnificent Kalong 1ay, with its ??? i$estone is ets rising from the clear, emerald waters of the (ulf of Tonkin, is one of .ietnams natura $arve s. The tiny islands are dotted with innu$erab e beaches and captivating grottoes created by the wind and waves. The name Ka "ong means olanding dragonp. According to legend, the islands were formed by the swish of a dragon's tail. A short 2ourney through the misty sea 7uickly spurs ro$antic i$aginations redolent of this tale. The excursion to Kalong from Kanoi is hardly as alluring. As in most of .ietnam, cars must share the road with innumerable trucks, motorcycles, bikes, pedestrians, oxcarts, and large patches of rice or orange peels drying in the hot sun. 1ut the trip is enlightening as it passes through .ietnam's orice bowl,p where the bri iant green rice fie ds are dotted with co orfu ce$etery vau ts. $nce there, a boat tour of this incredible bay can be arranged at dockside. 9old beverages can be arranged before leaving to complement one of the more en2oyable excursions of a lifetime. After more than ,?? years of existence, repairs and renovations, uoc Tu (iam is still an example of "e % preserved traditiona 'ietna$ese architecture. Also preserved within these confines are valued relics representing the (i enary civi i)ation, such as stelae with inscriptions of the names of distinguished scholars, the ell of Keavenly 9larity 4Thien uang Tinh5, the pavilion in dedication of the 9onstellation of "iterature 46hue .an 9ac5. *articu ar y i$pressive is the collection of } stone stelae which rest upon large stone tortoises.
