The view or two from my "office"

What's the story with the priv. train?

The company I am travelling with has put this tour together. We travel by train through Hungary,, Romania (including Transylvania) and Bulgaria before ending the trip in Istanbul for a few days. Lunch, and sometimes dinner, is eaten on the train while enjoying gorgeous views of the countryside. And sip champagne! Passengers stay in excellent hotels along the way and undertake excursions. Train crew use the sleeper car on the train.
