Back on the train again -heading West.

After two days catching with friends and drinking way too much wine, I'm ready to head back to the train station to board the Indian Pacific train. There is to be a welcome dinner first so am looking forward to seeing what will be served as it is meant to show case SA food and wines. The wine list in the Gold lounge and dining cars were all from SA and quite nice too.
Thank you to Sonya and David for taking me to the station. Quick check in and was greeted by several people who were on the Ghan. A very nice bubble was on offer as were some canapes while we waited for dinner at seven. Sat opposite Sheila from Wales at dinner and next to Marie from New Zealand. Menu and pictures show the lovely meal. The wine was a Shiraz from Teusner in the Barossa valley. On board an off by 10pm. Apparently the train runs on Perth time so now have an extra 1.5 hours to fill in. The club car is much closer so heading in that direction.Read more
