A FEW TANTALISERS: INDIA: Avoid a numb bum on India's extraordinary train system where 1st class is often fully booked - Or is it? SRI LANKA: Hire a car and driver for $35 a day including his food and accommodation. Yours will run an extra $25. Herds of wild elephants along the way are free. THE PHILIPPINES: Relax in a waterfront resort on beautiful Bohol Island for $21 a day including a full American breakfast. Expect to be pampered. BRAZIL: Hire your own guide for a week on The Rio Negro in Amazonas Brazil. BULGARIA TO MOSCOW: Take the Bulgarian Express from Sofia to Moscow - 3 nights - travelling through Romania and The Ukraine -- for $115 in a 2nd class sleeper but you'd better have a transit visa for The Ukraine - and enough food for the journey! MONGOLIA: Tour Mongolia's Gobi Desert and stay in Gers with the locals for just $40 a day. You'd better like mutton and goat freshly slaughtered and cooked over a dung fire! BANGLADESH: Take a ride on "The Rocket," a 1928 paddlewheeler that plies the rivers of Bangladesh. A restored first class cabin will run you $12 for a fascinating overnight trip. Tea on the aft deck is extra! |
