RE: The Beauty of Smoke.

Hi @iamraincrystal! I'm glad to hear that enjoyed my post so much! Yes, it's awesome awesome to travel by train...especially on a sleeper train. I have been blessed to be able to travel on sleeper trains often as a child with my parents. But sadly, things have gone so bad in South Africa that - without going into too much detail - it is not worth traveling on the trains which are "affordable" anymore. They are just not reliable and it's not always that safe either.

There are sleeper trains in South Africa which are still safe and giving you a great experience though. But they are so expensive that they are hardly affordable for many South Africans, unless you have a nice, solid bank account...lol.

The train you can see in my post, is not a sleeper train though. It serves more as a tourist attraction and/or holiday entertainment, providing you with a fun round trip which lasts about 75 minutes. It belongs to and is managed by a private company, so it is safe and reliable to use. And their rates aren't to bad either👍

If you want to see more about this train just for interest sake, here are two links where you can see more about them with some nice photos:

Thank you for your kind words about my photos! I do appreciate it.

Happy weekend to you too!
