I had planned to post a bunch of videos here that I took while riding the train through the North and South Islands, but the Nelson library internet is not cooperating sufficiently. So look for the "Moving Edition" sometime after the 4th when I will be back in Auckland. Meanwhile, some pics:
 |
| Farmland between Auckland and Hamilton. |
 |
| The viewing platform on the Overlander train from Auckland to Wellington. |
 |
| The Overlander at the station platform in Wellington. |
 |
| The Wellington Train Station. |
 |
| The Wellington CBD (Victoria U. in the foreground) from the cable tram up to the Botanical Gardens. |
 |
| Preparing to enter the Queen Charlotte Sound from the Cook Strait between the North and South Islands (the ferry is included on the rail pass, ok?) |
 |
| Passing Arapawa Island. |
 |
| Approaching the Picton ferry terminal on the South Island. |
 |
| Interior of the brand-new cars on the Coastal Pacific line from Picton to Christchurch. |
 |
The viewing car on the TranzAlpine line from Christchurch to Greymouth.
|
 |
| The platform at Arthur's Pass - highest settlement in New Zealand. |
 |
| Heading north again on the Coastal Pacific line. |
 |
| Bliss. |
