The Tranzalpine Train

We woke up early the next day to catch our shuttle bus to the train station. We would be taking this train heading ending at Greymouth.

The train passed through the Canterbury Plains, Southern Alps and rainforest in Westland area.

It whole journey was very scenic and there were occasional stops and slow down of the train to let the passenger to take some beautiful photos. However it was very hard to take pictures through glass windows, even though I tried to position my camera as close as possible to the glass. We did not go to open air carriages where we can the pictures without the glass. William was still unwell and was sleeping throughout the journey and I did not want to leave him alone.

There was a café in one of the carriage and we could buy food if we want to. There were no toilets in the train and we can only visit the toilet when they stop at certain stations.
