Across the Divide; Monday, November 20

From Greymouth we took the "Tranzscenic" train through the Southern Alps and the Canterbury Plains to Christchurch. On the west side the weather was much the same as Franz Joseph, raining.

But after we came through the Arthur's Pass at the top of the divide, it really improved and we got some great views.

There was an open platform at the end of our car where we could take pictures without the reflections from the windows, but it was sort of wild there when the train eas going fast.


A very exciting four hours.
