    Today I’m taking the luxurious Eastern & Oriental Express sleeper train across two countries from Singapore to Langkawi in Malaysia. Join me and Dad as we explore this stunning train. From the well appointed ensuite compartments, to the two restaurants onboard and the highlight of course… the outdoor observation car.
    I’ll also explain this trains fascinating past, as it’s not always been a sleeper train on this continent! This trip of course did not come cheap, however due to an unforeseen delay on the VSOE last summer, I was able to enjoy this trip for a lot less than you’d think! (I explain fully in the video).

    I remember my love for train travel beginning on this train in New Zealand as a five year old traveling with my grand mother between Napier and Hastings. The noise of the tracks, the cups of strong tea served in heavy white cups, trees rushing by and the best memory I have of my grandmother to this day. I have never been on a train again in my life but I live vicariously through all of your wonderful journeys and I thank you for that :) Trek on with joy to you and your family, from your fan in New Zealand.

      Yea, and a tiny bed, in Malaysia. I get as luxury goes up, the price goes up disproportionally. That’s fine, but this is just a bad deal. In Malaysia, you could hire a limousine, private driver, take the same route, however, dine in the finest restaurants along the way, and stay at the best rooms in the finest hotels, and pay less. I hope that price is just a marketing price, and it’s always on sale or something, because why pay it for a far worse experience then you can get elsewhere?

      Set the camera down on the train station platform to film himself walking onto the train from behind. Go back out to get the camera & now place the camera inside the train & cut to the shot from in front of him walking onto the train. Very time consuming & takes a lot of patience!

    Terrific video!! Just found your channel and I am addicted! Binge watching previous videos. Even really enjoy the music (the one with nice beat) and great to see you travel with mum, dad and/or Millie.
