| Legendary 'Orient Express' Pulls Off in Bulgaria's Ruse | ||
| Wednesday, Sep 07, 2011 | ||
| The "Orient Express" train, famously described in Agatha Christie's novel "Murder on the Orient Express," arrived in Bulgaria's Danube city of Ruse Tuesday. The legendary train arrived in the Balkan country with 97 passengers onboard. The passengers, coming from 31 different countries across the world, including Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Germany, US, France and Italy, paid at least EUR 6780 for their trip, the BGNES news agency says. Daniela, a 7-year-old Bulgarian girl, gave presents to some of the passengers, including a ceramic tortoise and a post card from Ruse. The luxury train, often described as a five-star hotel on tracks, travels with a speed of 100 km per hour and provides its passengers an out-of-this-world travel experience between Paris and Istanbul. Each passenger must pay an additional fee of EUR 3 360 if they wish to have the entire compartment for themselves. "Orient Express," took its first trip from Paris on October 4, 1883. It was then named "Express d'Orien," until 1891 when it was given the now famous "Orient Express." At the time it traveled twice a week from Paris trough Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, and Budapest to Gurgevo where on a ferry it reached Ruse. |
