Today, October 30th, Wellington had a free train ride day on any of the Metlink lines.  We decided to take the Kapiti line since we’ve never been on it and it’s supposed to be scenic.  After we took the train in to Wellington, we switched to the Kapiti train and proceeded to go all the way to Paraparaumu.  The ride was definitely spectacular crossing through tunnels, mountains, and an amazing view of the Tasman sea.  Aiden slept on the way there but enjoyed it on the way back.  We met up with my friend Shaun at Wellington train station and we all went to Paraparaumu where we had lunch at an Indian restaurant.  After some coffee, we took the train back and returned home around 6:30.  All in all, it was a great time and Wellington should have more of these free train days!
