A quiet day, caught in a bit of a down pour at one point. I stop at a road side cafe and swap coins with some local lads who like to collect currency. I get a rather cool Yuri Gagarin 1 Rouble coin! Later I am stuck in a traffic jam near a level crossing. I get to the front and the warning lights are on, train approaching! However most of the traffic ignores this and lazily moves on, over the crossing. One lorry gets half way across and then stops, stuck in traffic. This can't be good I think. And then I catch a glimpse of the train. It is moving at an even more lazy pace than the vehicles that surround me. I begin to understand. Everyone spots the train. Space opens up before the lorry, it moves forward and no one follows. The train passes by like a car passing through a herd of cattle on an English country road.
