The train yesterday was fabulous! It is apparently a historical train (1908) and famous for the views it offers of New Zealand countryside. I wish I could upload my pictures right now, but hopefully tonight. The land of New Zealand seems mystical. It is vastly green with islands and mountains fading in to the distance. The landscapes are dotted with sheep--there are apparently more sheep than people here, lol. We went over gorges and up a volcano. It was beautiful. Unfortunately, it broke down halfway through our trip and we had to be transferred to buses. Not nearly as exciting. I guess there were only a few more hours of daylight left, so we didn't miss too much. Anyways, many others are waiting to use the computers behind me.
Beautiful view from the train. Kind of magical looking uh?
River--I can remember the name, but it is the longest in New Zealand flowing alomst 2/3 the length of the north island.
The line you see is the track we were on. The track spirals up a volcano...an engineering masterpiece I'm told.
Remember the outdoor viewing deck? Taylor and I stick our necks out as we cross a very tall bridge!!
Another bridge...curvy this time.
The OverLander as we departed early.
