The train we took from Johannesburg to Cape Town was very different to all the others. It was the last and fifth of the overnight trains, a comfort and a delight to ride in. Kevin had booked a ticket in tourist class while we were still in Kilolo, Tanzania, but because we were not in South Africa, it was too risky to pay over the ether as required, so we lost our booking.
Our God is greater, and he gave us another of our many angels in the booking office man at Musina station. 'Dr John' found a compartment for us on the already fully booked train we wanted to take, and in addition he made sure no-one else would book into it, and we didn't even have to pay for all four seats. That meant we could totally relax and enjoy the last leg of trip South.
We went to the dining car for both dinner and a magnificent breakfast, and had some fun with the waitress taking photos for and of us. This one of Kevin, I took, though!
