더니든에 왔다면 꼭 해봐야 할 기차여행

더니든에서 출발하는 전통적인 기차에 올라서 왕복 4시간의 기차여행은 멋집니다. 협곡의 다리위를 지날때는 환상적이고, 푸케랑이에서의 풍경또한 잊을 수 없습니다. 더니든을 들른다면 꼭 해보아야 할 여행입니다.

괜찮았어요.

4시간이라 꽤 길어서 좀 지루해요. 정가에 표사면 돈아까울거같고, 두번은 못탈거같아요^^. 한번 타본걸로 만족합니다.

Stunning railway journey - NZ needs more trains!

Let's face it there are not many trains operating on New Zealand's railways but of those that do this is worth seeing. Lots of "oh my gosh, or cor wow, look at that"! Incredible views and admiration for the engineers who built it and keep it open. There is still quite a bit of railway infrastructure in NZ but passenger trains are about as rare as the Kakapo. NZ really ought to use its railway network more and get us away from our cars and aircraft. By the way the Dunedin station building is impressive; even if there are only two trains that operate from it!
