Auckland Weekend Trip

This weekend James and I took a KiwiRail Scenic trip on the Northern Explorer. We’ve both taken the Costal Pacific train on the South Island, and have wanted to see the North Island by train for a while, so we thought that we’d just go.

We walked to the office wondering which vehicle we’dContinueContinue reading “Ems and Bex on Tour: Wellington – Auckland”
