Wellington to Christchurch
3rd November 2007
We took the
morning ferry from Wellington to Picton to catch the afternoon diesel-hauled
train to Christchurch. The ferry company was unable to guarantee that the steam
locomotive could be shipped across the strait in time as they would not
take it until it was absolutely cold. The crossing was absolutely calm. The
train runs along the east coast for much of the way while snow-capped mountains
are visible to the west.
