Murder of the Orient Express



A few years ago I was in Istanbul with my mother and cousin and we went to a Mevlevi Order aka Whirling Dervish ritual. The whirling was gorgeous and highly recommended for anyone who visits Istanbul. The added bonus is that the ritual was held at a beautiful train station in Istanbul, which is the last stop on the Orient Express.

Unfortunately, the Orient Express' last stop will soon be its final stop when the train route from Paris to Istanbul is ended after a 126 year run.
