This is a true lunatic train.... Has anyone been adventurous enough to try it?

Well, I recently did. It took us around 27 hrs from the time we boarded in Nairobi to the time we alighted at Mombasa station....

Passing through those bushes, one has to pray Alshabab does not show up with their non-sense verses

boarded at 7pm
Dinner at 9 pm (still in Nairobi)
Slept at 10.30pm (at the train station still)
train left at 11pm.

when day broke and i took my book to read, it was 7am the following day and the train was stationary.

0900hrs, headed for breakfast. The captain sad, we had ABOUT 10hrs to go but we wouldnt be moving in the next two hours! And only then that i realised we were at Makindu.

From there, it was stops at each and every available station for the cargo trains to pass.... they were kind enough to serve us some coffees and lunches... the kids would alight and even play football as we waited at some stations...

...I think, in my opinion you should not be allowed to sire children because that would be the greatest disservice one could make to the human kind! The world cant afford to have your genes around...
