    Personal highlights

    1. Railway: once a glorious connection from the Indian Ocean to Rhodesia
    2. Station: honoured as one of the most beautiful railway stations in the world
    3. Museum: as in Europeinfo-icon, all museums are closed on a Monday - bummer
    4. Reality: the station reminds of colonial times, its fading and nothing added
    5. Market: walking through crowded, bustling streets on the way to the station
