Kitted out in waterproofs and plastic ponchos we sit on cushions in the rain on top of the train that will take us to el Niaz de Diablo (the nose of the devil).
Me on top of train with new friend Stephanie. Notice the local greeting of natives of Virginia!
A family out farming watched us as we passed.
The fresh fruit looked inviting, but given our cold empty bellies we plumped for hot banana fritters instead!
Vendors selling warm clothing in the hope that we tourists were ill-prepared for the train ride.
We bought lollies from vendors who travelled with us on the train and threw them down to a bunch of sweet girls at the side of the track.
....and cute muddy boys joined the line too.
.....but i couldn't resist testing the goods.
A possible fixer-upper for my hotel project? A little too remote, methinks!
Ed basks in the sunlight as the rain winds through the countryside.
...clinging to the roof as we drop down into the valley.
....more daring descents.
