ALL ABOARD
Board a train and take a relaxing vacation. When this suggestion is made the first thought is “it takes too much time to get anywhere”. What about, the minute you get on the train you are there. You have a roomy comfortable seat, able to walk around, have food and drink available and most important you are traveling through locations many times only viewed from a train. Once you reach a location, disembark. usually in the center of town, settle into your hotel and begin a leisurely exposure to the area. After a day or two you again board the train and continue your journey.
Is this any different than taking a cruise? Not really. On a cruise ship you are always traveling to a different port; but all you see is water and not the magnificent views of the country. Need I mention, on a train there won’t be 5000 people on your adventure.
