Orient
Express - Istanbul to Paris - Farewell
<<When investigating the deaths
occurring aboard the Orient Express in space, the Twelfth Doctor approached Professor Moorhouse regarding the myth of the Foretold and exchanged information with him. During their
conversation, he took out a cigarette case full of jelly babies from his coat, offering
one to the professor. (TV:Mummy on the Orient Express)>>
I’ve always wanted to travel on the Orient Express so after
reminding the doctor of the above episode we took off! We boarded in Istanbul – destination, Paris!
We were seated in the luxurious section of the 1920’s dining car.
The
anticipation of afternoon tea was heightened as we saw “The Tardis” on our
reserved Orient Express table card. The
Turkish “Rose Petals & Black Tea” that had just been purchased in Istanbul
was being steeped for us. Its wonderful
aroma wafted through the air from the spout of The Tardis.
Jelly Babies waited to be offered….
As the train pulled into Paris
Gare de l’ Est my heart was filled with gratitude to The Tardis for bringing
such fun to the imaginary and the real journeys and tea times we’ve shared
these past six weeks.
Fond Farewell……..
Cheers and Happy Sipping!
