Sri Lanka Rail Tours: The Virtues Of The Viceroy

Sri Lanka has everything you can think of to make it a dream holiday destination. The opportunity to travel through its lush green forests and over snow capped mountains on the Viceroy Special Train should be on everyone's bucket list.

The Viceroy has been operating since the 19th century giving its passengers that authentic steam train experience.

This majestic ride is the perfect combination of travelling in comfort and style. It’s marvellously designed interior is rich in history and has strong ties to Sri Lanka’s colonial past. As such, not only does the Viceroy take you from destination to destination, but also back in time. 

It has two compartments that are air-conditioned with the capacity to hold around 64 passengers. However, if you want to spend some private time with your family then you will love the intimacy and bespoke itinerary that you will receive on our Sri Lanka Rail Tour.

Do you know what makes riding The Viceroy so special? Its journey involves going as deep as sea level, an amazing 6226 ft below ground! 

You will also get the chance to witness not one, but eight UNESCO World Heritage sites on this fully immersive journey.

Railway Adventures understands the importance of delivering you the best service for the price you have paid. To make this a unique experience we have also incorporated a private watercolour workshop on location with the acclaimed Sri Lankan born Australian artist and tutor – Chan Dissanayake!

Go on this tour to explore the virtues of The Viceroy and we promise you will come back to book more Railway Holidays with Railway Adventures.  Our 15 day tour with Scott McGregor and Chan Dissanayake is not only fun and adventurous but also informative.

The Cheese Tour Of South France

France is known for the finer things in life: fashion, wine and (our favourite) cheese. When it comes to this holy trinity, the French just know what they’re doing. And as seasoned travellers us at Railway Adventures know the best places to find a cheese to melt any palate. Stop reading if you're lactose intolerant, this might just be too heartbreaking.

Nice

Nice is known for white mould cheese, hard cheese, washed-rind cheese, and blue cheese.

White mould cheese

This cheese is made from cow’s milk. The perfect period to store this cheese is 4-5 weeks after which it won’t taste or smell the same. This is one of the best cheeses you will find in France.

Hard Cheese

Hard Cheese is also made from cow’s milk and found in the hilly areas.  People also call this mountain cheese because of its origins.

Washed rind cheese

This type of cheese has a long aging process making it the perfect accompaniment for cured meats. However, if your sense of smell is strong then you might not like the distinct odor of this cheese but the flavor is to die for!

Blue Cheese

Blue cheese is the easiest to spot as the color separates it from the rest. The moment you have a taste of this cheese you will realize it has a powerful flavor.

Lyon

Lyon is another place known for its great architecture, heritage, and cheese! Cervelle de canut is hands down the most famous Lyonnais cheese. The seasoning of chopped herbs, vinegar, olive oil, shallots, salt and pepper is the reason why anyone who considers themself a foodie is fond of this cheese.

Toulouse

Toulouse, is the third on our list of places to find the best tasting cheese.

Cheese aficionados go to Toulhouse to find semi-hard cheese Aubisque Pyrenees which is produced from a mixture of ewe’s and cow’s milk or sheep and cow’s milk. You can store this cheese for as long as two months and rest assured that it won’t go bad.

On your next holiday to France do something different and visit these places to taste the vast array of cheese. Railway Adventures is offering you the best Train Trips in France so that you can smoothly go from one city to the next in the utmost luxury & comfort.
