Earlier this year we took a trip up to Auckland on the "Overlander" train. The train takes around 12 hours to reach its destination. This is a long time, considering it only takes one hour to fly there. Flying is also much cheaper. This is not the point however, as the journey really is an end in itself. The train passes through some great scenery, including much that is not accessible by road. The train stopped for lunch at the township of National Park. An hour or so, and a few steak and cheese pies later, we were back on the train. A very kind passenger took this shot of us two. The mountain in the background is actually the Mount Ruhapehu volcano.
