Kaikoura Train Trip - October 09

In the Term 3 holidays Nana Anne kindly shouted us all a train trip to Kaikoura for a couple of days. Anne, Auntie Annie, and cousins Lachlan and Jack met us there. It was freezing cold and mostly wet, but we had a wonderful time. The train trip was definately the highlight, but it was also a great adventure to stay in the motel units at the camping ground.

Getting arty with the view from the train.

One way to warm yourself up in the open viewing carraige. It was colder than freezing!

In a small window of fine weather the boys rode around the camping ground on this bike. It was a good way to burn off some energy after being shut inside for over 24 hours.

Back to the train station for the trip home. Note the snow on the hills that wasn't there when we arrived. No wonder it was so cold.
