Departure is in Paris and we'll have a stop in the big cities of Europe until we reach Constantinople. It will be so awesome!My heartbeat is racing in my brandnew corset. I have to be careful not to lose conscience in the midst of the passengers who populate the platform.

Step 3: First stop
Ring! « Ladies and Gentlemen, we will son arrive at Strasbourg station. Two hours dwell time».Two hours! Perfect, let's make the best out of them and go for a walk.The chief conductor recommended visiting the Petite France quarter, what a funny name. It's true that Strasbourg has been French not so long ago. Who knows, maybe it will be French again in the future.There are a lot of corbelled houses, this reminds me of the medieval times. And Strasbourg is a really flowery city.Oh is it already this late? This was so nice that I totally forgot the time, quick!

Step 4: Encounter at the bar
I went to the saloon bar for some tea. I did not expect that many people, I can't even find a single free seat. But I have to admit that it's nice being here with this very cosy and warm atmosphere.I walk to the bar and ask for some Earl grey. At this moment, a beautiful young man is ordering as well. He turns to me with a smile and I return it. This is how we met. His name is Simon and he's from Bordeaux. To be honest I barely listen t what he's saying, I'm totally hypnotised by his eyes.Time passes by and we stay several hours standing at this bar and chatting...

Step 5: Waltz in Vienna
Ring! « Ladies and Gentlemen, we will soon arrive at Vienna station! » I'm so excited! The Dollz-Express offers us an evening at the Opera where we can see Mozart's The marriage of Figaro and end the evening with a ball. Simon asked me to be his dance partner! I'm not that good at Waltz but the evening will still be wonderful.The frontage of the Opera is absolutely stunning and the beautifully dressed couples getting out of their cars add a special note to the atmosphere. The men in redingotes and women wearing large dresses like the Empress Sissi. But, now that I think of it, I might even be seeing the Empress in person tonight!

Step 7: Last dinner on board
The restaurant of the express is completely full! I find Simon in the crowd next to the champaign counter. As I join him, he tells me that I look particularly elegant tonight. I have to admit that I'm wearing my nicest evening gown.The staff gave everything for tonight, it's so perfect, even the menue cards are a dream!We drink and laugh and try to dance. Then Simon announces to me that he will permanently stay in Constantinople. Actually he will join his betrothed... an arranged wedding. I'm so sad that I need to excuse myself and rush to my cabin, where I fall asleep thinking abut Constantinople to try and forget Simon.
