My favorite train, for example, is thought to be one of the best in the world, so I had little difficulty in choosing it. As well as being my favorite, The Blue Train is also the pride of South Africa's railways. 2 p One travels between Pretoria and Cape Town while the other travels between Pretoria and Durban. A few years ago, my wife and spent two nights on board the Cape Town train, paying a fare of just over $2000 each. The 1.300-foot-long train has 41 suites, where 82 passengers can stay comfortably. It was a unique experience and one I could happily repeat.
