This morning we drove up the Otaga Peninsula to the Royal Albatross Centre. We saw 5 Albatrosses on the ground (3 on nests), but none flying. However we did see 4 Spoonbill flying, lots of Stewart Island Shags and a pod of dolphins, so it was a good trip.
This afternoon we went on a trip on the Taieri Gorge Railway. We started from Dunedin Railway Station, which as you can see from the picture is a very impressive building. The train is diesel hauled, with a mixture of modern carriages and heritage coaches, all with open platforms at the ends. Our allocated seats were in one of the new coaches but we moved to the older stock as it was more interesting. In fact we ended up the only 2 people in our bit of the train.
The weather was very good with sun all day and no rain at all. Tomorrow we're off to Mount Cook and we'll have another attempt at getting our helicopter flight.
