Rail vacations
Railways are like moving stories. They weren’t built for tourists originally, but for transporting food, workers or minerals. As you sit back and are transported across India or Japan, along Halong Bay or the West Highland Way, you can see history unfold in front of your eyes. Similarly, every passenger has a story on that train too. They are great places to people watch, or people meet, before stepping off into some of the world's most interesting places.
