Cruising by steam

Posted by Lifecruiser in Travel

Wow! Today was an exceptional day, going by the old Jacobite steam train from Fort William to Mallaig and back again. To see the highlands and the lochs from the old steam train was a completely different experience from viewing it from the car!

To hear the sound of the old steam train puffing up and down the hills and hear the steam whistle - you could imagine that you was in the movie! As a fact the very famous scenes from the Harry Potter movie is taken from that railway. Over the Glenfinnan viaduct 60 m up in the air - what a sight!

I even had to phone my brother-in-law from the train, just to tease him a bit and let him hear the sounds of it, because he is crazy about steam trains and know almost everything about them. He should have been the one that was on the train… Now we have to report EVERYTHING to him!

It is a pity, but we were not allowed standing on the roof :-)
