Many many years ago we took the Tamil Nadu Express from Madras to delhi. It took 36 hours! Somehow you just settle in to life on the train and the time passes as you watch the world go by, happy days! It is so refreshing when there is so much trouble in the world to see how kind and generous the people of Turkey invariably are. Peace & Love

Yeah, even if Turkey looks like a small country on world map it is actually second largest country in Europe after Russia. And that journey would be really magical during winters especially if the train was faster!! Luckily there is already Ankara-Kars high speed rail project which will be finished in few years.

@al alfin True, but Doğu Express is not about the speed but kind of experience. Most of the time people take that route to go to Kars and return in a weekend for holiday. Of course fast trains are available between big cities for more than a decade.

Ankara train station is a very familiar place for me. We went to Sivas from Ankara during the summer months throughout my childhood. train windows could be opened at that time. We would stick our heads out and watch the mountains and end the train journey with a black sooty face. I still remember the swaying feeling that remained for the next day.

Hi Chris, you know it's going to be a long trip of 50 hours and it's best to add another couple of hours, they're not high speed trains. Your best bet would have been to stay in a motel for one night and tear down the next day. And would have plenty of time to see Ankara ... Hittite Museum, Atatürk's Mausoleum, etc.

He teased that unfortunately the view was just "sticks, sticks, and more sticks!!!!" from Florida to NC because the route cuts through the forest areas. Nothing but sticks (trees). But you got some incredible views!! Turkey is such a big country. And it always helps to have wonderful people to assist. I'm amazed at their hospitality. Yes Chris, that was a looong ride. Take care. Hope that you're doing well❤

I did the same thing one time Marianne, I was in the Navy and forgot I was in the top bunk. I had to get up during the night and boom, down I went and hitting my head on the wall on the way down. My mom, brother and I use to take the train during the Summer when we were small kids to my mom's parent's in Oklahoma, we left from California. We didn't have a cabin, we were in the lounge chairs, but, usually no one was next to us at night and we could sprawl out onto the next one and lay down for the night. Your train ride reminded me of Chesca's book club read, Around the World in 80 Trains. Yeah, you got the drone and what a nice experience you had picking it up, not like here lately with all the "Black Friday" Christmas sales going on. Looking forward to seeing you back on the road in your wonderful little Trudy. Take care mates!

A couple of years ago took the overnight train from Bangkok to Surat Thani (going to Koh Samui). About an hour into the journey, they came round to set up the beds - so had to go to bed at 8pm - as seats were now beds! Took about 12 hours. We had the squat toilets, with the added attraction you could see the track down the loo. If I was honest, since then we fly everywhere - not green, but a lot quicker.
