Why read Agatha Christie when you can live it?
與其閱讀阿加西.克里斯蒂的小說不如親身體驗一把?
Wood burning stoves and etched glass panels onboard evoke a time of Parisian art deco sophistication from the Roaring 1920s.
車廂中的燃木爐火和透光鑲嵌玻璃,精致無比,充滿了上世界20年代的巴黎裝飾風格。
No shrinking violet, once author Agatha Christie’s detective Hercule Poirot stepped aboard through her pages, the Orient Express’ fame was assured. Shared bathroom facilities take the gloss off an otherwise glamorous train whose inaugural journey deposited travelers in what was once Europe’s wealthiest city, known then as Constantinople.
當阿加西.克里斯蒂筆下的大偵探波羅登上列車的時候,便奠定了東方快車的名氣。可惜傳統的公共浴室讓這列極富盛名的列車失了些色彩。列車的起點位于曾今歐洲最富裕的城市伊斯坦布爾。
Today, Istanbul is one of many destinations on varied elegant itineraries throughout Europe.
如今,伊斯坦布爾是眾多歐洲雅致旅行路線的終點地。
