We had been in Jakarta for a meeting with Pertamina and were now at the airport waiting for our Garuda flight back to Medan. We got a beer while we waited and as the doors to the departure lounge opened straight out onto the airstrip Ken took a stroll in the heat outside. I'm not sure where the barefoot little Indonesian girl came from but I thought the two of them made a nice composition.

Goats and dogs roam the street in the old town of Shibam Kawkaban. The mountain top city is 50km northwest of Sana'a at 3000m (9,800ft) altitude. Back in 1993 Yemen was a beautiful friendly place to live. and travel throughout most of the country was easy - only the Houthi heartland around Sada was tricky. Things have changed terribly for the poor people of Yemen (although in 1994 we were evacuated because of the civil war). HWW to everyone & peace to Yemen.

We climbed Sibayak volcano a couple of times when we lived in Medan. This this was the first ascent and we met this group of kids on their way down. A photo was called for. The walk starts in rice padi fields but climbs quite steeply through forest and then onto open rock. The crest is at 2,212 m (7,257 ft) and in the clouds it gets chilly when you're wearing shorts!

The morning rush hour near Zinkyaik...

Behind you! A quick lunchtime visit to Rothley station. British Railways Standard 5 4-6-0 73156, light engine, on a Driver Experience trip, is heading north, gently blowing off. Unnoticed by the platform staff.

You can’t beat a nice piece of golden nangka.

Passengers must only cross the line by means of the footbridge provided... but these ladies are taking the most direct route to market with their fruit passing in front of diesel DF.1264, Chinese-built for Myanmar Railways in 1995, waiting to depart from Yangon's main station.

Love in the Time of Covid - well a year earlier actually. Fond farewells as Northern Class 144 dmu Pacer 144019 stands in platform 2 with the 10.12 to Sheffield. HFF & have a great weekend.

Feeding the Beast......... British Railways Standard 9F 2-10-0 92214 gets another round of coal in its firebox. With Rory driving and me firing I could tell Cliff was getting itchy so let him have the shovel up the hill from Rothley.

The streets of Baiyin.
