The Train
We are certainly not talking bullet trains here! However, without a shadow of a doubt my favourite mode of transport. This slow sedate way of cruising through the countryside is simply magic. Most of the trains I have been on offer only 2nd or 3rd class and that’s fine by me. The windows are open the fans are whirling and you feel that you have been transported to a different era. Even when I have had to stand I have found it magical. Couple of tips on the trains…
Get your tickets the day before.
If you see it’s standing room only be the last on! You get a spot by the door.
If someone offers to help you get a seat on the train accept the offer! They will literally leap on the train as it’s pulling in. This was only necessary at Colombo Fort.
