Hi there,
Come and join me in this Wednesday Walk along the Orient Express.
Wednesday Walk Challenge is hosted by in collaboration with Make Me Smile Challenge by
. Link to the rules and guidance if you new to this challenge - here.
I am glad to be back, it's been a while and I missed so many walks to share.
It is not the first time the legendary train to stop in my hometown Varna. It was three years ago, before the pandemic when Orient Express made a stop, but I could not go to see it. This time I had no excuse and after work I met some friends for a cuppa and since the train was announced to stay for three hours at the station, I got time for it too.
Bugger me, I left the camera home. I had to use the phone instead and pictures aren't so good. Anyway, despite the heat, the station was crowded. Which made it rather challenging to make clear shots, because always some head or stretched hand with a phone will pop up in front. I had to cut some heads where possible (from the pictures, of course). But it was not always possible.
This is Venice Simplon-Orient-Express from Paris to Istanbul. The famous train is a big attraction and everyone who came to see it, can make photos, selfies and pose next to the staff.
Let's have a look, shall we? Starting with the crowd, I cannot remove them.
I did not count the carriages, but they were many.
Walking along the train I couldn't stop thinking what was hidden inside. But futher I went, the train reveals its glamour.
Look at the coat of arms, sparkling in the dark.

One last shot and bid the passengers good bye. It was time to leave and dream of a journey in luxurious train. Who knows, wishes come true sometimes, don't they? 😉
Thank you for viewing.
