The British Empire days are back. Well not really but we were travelling Inca First class on the Orient Express so it felt like it !!!
The train was run specially for our group and was a unique experience. You sat in armchair like seats with a viewing carriage and bar in the last two carriages then our carriage followed by the chefs carriage, the luggage car and then the engine !!!!
The train loo was quite something. A mahogany seat and marble ish basin.
We started the entertainment with a Pisco sour followed by a fashion show.
We were then served our 3 course lunch as you do !!
Lunch or perhaps I should say luncheon was followed by a demonstration of how to make the perfect Pisco Sour. This was swiftly followed by the 2 for 1 happy hour.
Then afternoon tea which was cinnamon flavoured. The only disappointment was the lack of cucumber sandwiches.
We descended through a spectacular gorge into Cusco about 6pm. We thanked the staff afterwards, who were immaculately dressed throughout the whole trip, for their professional and courteous conduct.
