Where trains once.were

A little cafe where.the."Kingston.Flyer".was.based...An.old.steam.train.which.is.sadly.rusting.away.in.a.shed!..No-one.wants.to.take.it.on...However,.the.cafe.is.still.flourishing.and.the.food.and.wine.is.good.and.the.view.of.the.lake.is.beautiful!
Thankful.for:
A.supremely.comfortable.bed.here...Sleep.for.over.9.hours!

It is a shame that the Kingston Flyer is not still running .. cute cafe..

[Pat Knowles]

A very welcoming vibe here......a place you could have a coffee, cake & a chat to the other visitors. Local railways are missed here & a great form of travel to local places without using the car. That is the thing in the UK at the moment getting dirty cars off the road....electric is the thing now apparently!!

Such a quaint lovely place.

@happypat Our.car.is."bluetec'.which.means.the.exhaust.is.filtered.clean!..You.could.lie.on.the.ground.with.your.mouth.round.the.exhaust--if.you.really.wanted.to!...But.diesel.and.very.economical!

@brennieb I.think.its.true-..lack.of.sleep.makes.you.hungry!...We.don't.seem.to.be.hungry.at.all!

What a classic looking little cafe. It would be so cool if the steam engine would run again. They've resurrected a few of them around the U.S. here and they prove to be popular tourist attractions. Probably just too expensive for the Kingston Flyer.

Lovely shot of this quaint little cafe, nice to hear that they are doing well.

[Dianne]

Looks a great place to visit.

[Casablanca]

Oh interesting info. I thought it was a station at first glance, then not.......then read it. Wonderful place to stop

@dide A good time of the year to be travelling, not so many tourists or New Zealand visitors. Probably only the retired the lucky retired!
