    The Majestic Imperator.

    June 5, 2017 in Austria ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C

    Early start today - 8am to catch 8.30 train to Salzburg - not just any train - the Majestic Imperator. It is a replica of the royal train built for the Emperor, Franz Joseph. It is the most amazing train, with each carriage furnished with tables and chairs, but each carriage totally different to the others. We set off from Passau in Germany and the trip to Salzburg took three hours. Tea, coffee and cakes were served on this leg.
    The return trip took us to Linz in Austria where our ship had sailed to during the day. This took two hours and included soft drink, beer, wine and savouries. It also included three singers who went from carriage to carriage singing both opera and sound of music songs.
