Steam Train to the Elgin Railway Market.
« on: October 20, 2019, 05:20:20 PM »
Hi everybody,
having waited quite some time for this day the 19th of October finally arrived.
Got to Cape Town nice and early and watched our train roll into the station.
Had to pose a bit with Jessica as well.

Starting to climb Sir Lowry's pass,
me looking out of the window with a gin and tonic in my hand.

On the way back we where at the end of the train and had a nice view onto the tracks.

Same photo, one in color the other in black and white,
