Dunedin traintrip

Up at the crack of dawn to find garage and get to Dunedin for 9am. Either they go to work really early here or their rush hour bares no resemblance to UK 😁Got in too early do went in search of early morning coffee which we found opposite the Law Court. Dunedin founded by the Scots and again full of Victorian buildings. The station is a work of art ..beautiful.We had booked on the 930am Taieri Gorge historic train from Dunedin to Pukerangi.It follows the old train line which transported the cattle sheep and gold from central Otago to Dunedin for onward shipping throughout the world. It's hayday was the 19th century.It travels along the course of the Taieri river to Punerangi where it stops and returns. Dave the train guide did a fabulous commentary . I personally would have preferred a one way trip but if you are not in a group you have to return to pick up transport you,be left. We had a lunch in the Octagon area and went to pick up Doris to find we had a ticket😱😱😱for 40 dollars as our car park ticket had blown over and it couldn't,t be read 😭that's an argument for the council tomorrow!!!. Off to campsite at Kaikori which is very good. Settled in with red wine much needed🤗🤗🤗Leggi altro
