Going by train is my favorite way to travel in the different countries that I visit. I loved traveling in Australia on a train Cairns to Brisbane. I liked seeing Queensland through the window when I was 20 years. In the evening I went along to the club loco car. There I met the man that was to become my husband. We got married one year later and our marriage lasted six years. Then we got divorced. Last year I traveled in South Africa with my disabled toddler son. There we found a train line that went from Central Cape Town to Simon's Town. The views of the beaches were superb. Now I remember the lovely time I went on a train ride in New Zealand when I was 29 years old. I saw countryside views and the beautiful coast line. It was from the top of the South Island right down past Christchurch to Invercargil. Now I know that the train only goes as far as Christchurch. When I was in my mid twenties I traveled on a train that went from Nairobi to Mombasa. It was lovely to sleep on that train because it was so relaxing. Then in the morning at breakfast time I saw a giraffe. Wow! I liked the low cost of train fares in Kenya.
