Steam train crossing the estuary bridge in Malahide this morning.
I've just discovered date/time settings in my camera are all wrong - the photo was taken around 10:40am, not 23pm.
Casablanca.........it was an eventful 24 hours, i will never forget.
in the event of looking for a cafe to get some rest and get some food, i was held under a knife point.
the story goes... i had my backpack (my new camera bag) in front of me, like carry it backward. it was a pretty big bag so it basically came up to my chin. i rested my arms on top of the bag my right hand is holding my little baby Ricoh.
A 6'-0" + tall man came up to me and try to take my Ricoh and point a knife at me. Lucky i did not get hurt, my Ricoh is also safe with me. i might be just lucky, or people around me was nice enough to help me out by telling the guy to leave us alone. in any case even now i can't imagine what he could have done to me with his knife.
the next morning we decided to leave Casablanca because we were little uncomfortable and beside there is really nothing there to see. ... Remember even the famous movie "Casablanca" did not even film here.
We headed to the train station early in the morning, an elderly woman who pretended to help us, while we don't need any help, she tried to take our ticket away by telling us we were in the wrong class.
Was it because it was 2 Asian females traveling, or am i being careless. Or do i have to say i need a "boy" after all.
btw, my first meal in Morocco was in the Hyatt Hotel, the safest place and the closest place we found.
Train trip #23
Jasper National Park
Canada
A large number of passengers got off the train at Jasper, most were from a tour group (about 40 people) who'd been on the train since Toronto. They'd be spending about 4 days in Jasper and Banff before heading by bus to Vancouver then Victoria. The train would seem quiet without this group of Brits, Aussies and Americans.
Jasper is supposed to be a 1.5 hour stop but since we were 24 hours behind schedule they cut the stop down to 45 minutes. It was plenty of time to take some pictures and go across the street to some gift shops and a little sandwich shop for something to tide me over til dinnertime.
When lately I saw news that "The Flying Scotsman" had been refurbished, I remembered of another steam train I had seen when visiting Scotland. The Jacobite is a steam locomotive-hauled tourist train service that operates over part of the West Highland Railway Line in Scotland. It has been operating under various names and with different operators every summer since 1984. (Wikipedia)

Luckily, the town is only about a quarter mile ahead, and end of track is just over the rise in the distance.
