REVIEW | Sofitel Legend The Grand Amsterdam
It’s the end of May 2024, the weekend we would have our second try to travel on the Dinner Train. We would be travelling from Namur for a scenic journey through the Ardennes and even booked a hotel to stay the night to avoid having to get home late at night. Unfortunately the Dinner Train…
