Kids on their very first Train!

As part of the soccer world cup, the public transport system in Cape Town was set up to be A-OK! Our rail system was part of the official transport plan so Andrea and I decided to take the kids (on a no Cape Town match day) on the train to do the whole FIFA fan fest / fan walk "thing". The kids had a ball, first time EVER on a train. Just a pity we took one of the really old ones, not the trendy new carriages. But we still had a blast. And it was awesome to see the kids faces.

We decided to drive from home to Newlands station as Roland's office is there and we had "official" parking. Some of the signs on the station platform are in Afrikaans, so this one above the kids says "Nuweland". Standing on the station platform, we were 100 meters from both the Newlands rugby and cricket grounds.
