13th June Dunedin to Middlemarch

Caught the Taieri Gorge train to Pukurangi.  Reputed to be one of the great train journies of the world and it is.  The scenery and the engineering of the tunnels and viaducts were actually amazing.  Google it if you get a chance.
We only rode 25 km from Pukurangi to Middlemarch and we heard from the train driver that Christchurch had a magnitude 6.3 earthquake again today, which kind of put a dampner on the day.
We start the  Otago rail trail tomorrow.
