Blue Train on 10/5
I rode the Blue Train on 10/5 from PRT to CPT. Very elegant. We did make a stop at Kimberly to view the diamond mine (about 1 1/2 hours) and were presented with a Blue Train sherry glass. It was a nice trip.
It was a suitable followup to my F award on UA and LH between SFO/FRA and FRA/JNB, respectively, which included the complementary dinner and drinks at the LH 1st class lounge in FRA, and the drive across the tarmac to the plane in a Mercedes S-Class.
