The dress code at dinner on board the Orient Express is formal wear. Cocktails in the bar car served with delicious canapes are enjoyed first, with live piano and the vintage sounds of music from the 20s and 30s played by several talented musicians from Berlin. The food on board is of exceptional quality, and the master chef greets all diners at some point during the meal to insure that all was satisfactory. A nightcap in the bar car is followed by a return to one's sleeping compartment, where the steward has re-configured the interior into upper and lower beds. We spent the night traveling through Germany finally crossing the border into France during the early morning hours Sunday. We'll make a brief stop in Paris around 8 am, then continue on toward Calais for our Channel crossing. Once in the UK we'll board a special vintage Pullman car for the final leg of our rail trip destined for Victoria Station, London.
