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. One travels between Pretoria and Durban. A few years ago, my wife and I 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 i could happily repeat.
