Meeting News from London<\/p>\n

London meeting Saturday 6th March 2004 by Padmasana<\/a><\/h4>\n

This month our first speaker was Anthony Lambert<\/b>,
\nwho talked to us about “Railways on the wild
\nside”. Anthony took us on journey around the globe
\nstarting in Patagonia. In Peru we saw trains that travel at
\naltitudes where oxygen is carried on board for the
\npassengers. The train across South Africa’s Garden route
\nmay not be that wild, but is certainly beautiful,
\nPadmassana was there at Christmas. The Hejaz railway in the
\nMiddle East is certainly wild and until a few years ago a
\nbit lawless. Anthony showed us trains of India serving
\nremote tea plantations and probably the wildest of them all
\nin Pakistan up the Khyber Pass.<\/p>\n

Our second speaker was Globetrotters own resident
\nAussie, Jacqui Trotter<\/b>. This was part two of
\nJacqui’s year long trip around South America, where
\nshe travelled for the most part with a group by overland
\ntruck. This time she showed us Argentina, firstly in Buenos
\nAires, where she visited Eva Peron’s tomb and explored the
\ncolourful Boca area, famous as Maradona’s birthplace. She
\nwas lucky enough to visit the fabulous Iguaçu Falls from
\nboth the Brazilian and Argentine sides, before visiting a
\nvery non descript Brasilia. Jacqui showed us Rio de
\nJaneiro, the Sugar Loaf mountain, Christ statue and the Rio
\ncarnival where she partied until 3am with the locals. Her
\njourney continued through Brazil and finally into Venezuela
\nfrom where she flew back to reality and the Globetrotters
\ncommittee!<\/p>\n

Next month, on Saturday 3rd<\/sup> April, John
\nDouglas<\/b> will be talking on Norway’s Arctic
\nHighway, followed by Karen Neale<\/b> after the break
\ntalking about an artist’s journey through World
\nHeritage cities and a 5 month Churchill scholarship on
\ndrawing and painting.<\/p>\n

London
\nmeetings are held at The Church of Scotland, Crown Court,
\nbehind the Fortune Theatre in Covent Garden at 2.30pm the
\nfirst Saturday of each month. There is no London meeting in
\nAugust, but we will be back in September. For more
\ninformation, you can contact the Globetrotters Info line on
