A ride down to the Capital, and back
‘No one can show you New Zealand like we can’ is the slogan of rail company TranzScenic, and having now completed their trio of scenic train journeys I can’t dispute their claim. Nowhere does a twelve hour journey speed by like the Overlander train from Auckland to Wellington, especially when it’s made all the more interesting by landing a ride in the cab with the driver for a short section. Exceptional, and worth every penny, some stunning photographs are on the way.
I’ve now visited the city of Wellington no less than four seperate times for various reasons; this past weekend was short and sharp, to catch up with some recruitment agents and some relatives of the Crouch family in picturesque suburb Eastbourne, a ferry ride across the harbour from the city. On the job front I’m still temping here in Auckland, after returning by bus on Sunday I was straight into a software testing assignment on Monday morning.
