I didn't spot any celebrities, I'll have to look more closely next time!

I went on the fabulous Rocky Mountaineer this year in Canada but my most memorable journey by far was as a seventeen year old going to Mallaig.This guide sounds great - if only the cost of travelling by train wasn't so high.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
