We started this journey in Christchurch. Flew in from Wellington the night before to get some rest before the early morning train ride to Greymouth. Enjoyed the amazing breakfast at the Rydges that morning and then took a taxi to the train station. It wasn’t that crowded and our seats were at a table. Windows all around so amazing views throughout of the Southern Alps and surrounding countryside. An hour into our trip, we all got coffees and bought Aiden a fluffy. He came with me to the café area to help carry the beverages. I went outside a few times in the open carriage to take pictures of the Alps. It was definitely a great experience and highly recommend to anyone wanting to see breathtaking scenery.
