In Dunedin we took the challenge of jumping on an old-timer train to get a ride through magnificent sceneries. The train is a real retro with wooden interior 😉
In order to catch good pictures, one should stand on a tiny open platform between wagons.
Accompanied by the trains wheels knocking, we were rushing through valleys and hills smoothly changed by mountains, rivers and deep gorges,…
Some tourist couldn’t resist the train’s rocking and wheels knocking, even there was lots to see in the window…
On the whole 2-hours journey we’ve passed by one ☝️ house which is a legend in this region: there is no electricity and water connection. The family lives on their own (don’t ask how ;-))
This railway is “one way”: at the end of the track the train stops and all passengers go out for a 10-min break while the technicians change the head of the train so that we could go back by the same track. The whole journey takes about 3,5 hours. Though, I don’t know how long it is…
The guide that brought us to the train station, was on time to pick us up. He showed us around the city a bit. Dunedin has very Scottish looks and spirit, its name even means “Edinburgh of the south” or something along those lines.
