I’m reading the 2006 book ‘Strangers in my Sleeper’ by fellow kiwi and travel writer, Peter Riordan, and it’s made me think of some of the many rail journeys I have taken, some return or multiple trips and, many in sleepers with strangers!
Off the top of my head they include:
Egypt:
- Cairo to Aswan
Zimbabwe:
- Harare to Victoria Falls
New Zealand:
- Christchurch to Arthurs Pass
- Christchurch to Picton
- Christchurch to Invercargill
- Wellington to Auckland (and return)
USA:
- Miami to New York
- LA to San Diego
- Anchorage to Fairbanks
Thailand:
- Bangkok to Suratani
- Bangkok to Changmai
- Suratani to Georgetown (Malaysia)
- Kota Bharu to Kuala Lumpur
Europe:
- London to Paris
- Miami to Parma
- Budapest to Prague
India:
- Delhi to Haridwar
- Haridwar to Agra
- Jaipur to Mumbai
- Kerala to Indore
- Mumbai to Kerala (Ernakulum)
