Taieri Gorge Train Trip
February 23, 2011I attended the Information Session For New International Students in the morning from 9.00am - 11.15am with Kah Yenn and Siew Lee..they just did introduction and welcome speech to us :D
bought curry pie from St Davids Cafe because I haven't had my breakfast
it's really cold out there today !
one of the landmark in Otago University
After lunch,we have to gather at the Dunedin Railway Station but since Kah Yenn and I doesn't know the way there,we gathered in front of St Davids Lecture Hall and from there,someone will guide us there..
the train ticket
the railway station
a further view of the railway station
Kate from China
Liki and Kah Yenn
the station is nice right?
Liki and Kate
we're all waiting for the train to come
while waiting for the train,take more pictures! haha!
finally board on the train!
wah all green green
was so excited about this train trip because this train is gonna tour the whole Dunedin
and I saw so many sheeps!
we sat at the last row of the train and near the heater so it was really warm
the trees so nice!
camwhore in the train
wonder what is the tree species...hmmmm...
look like Christmas tree to me LMAO
Kah Yenn snapped a picture of me..lol what's with that face~
more sheeps!
can see that we're in urban area..
MORE SHEEPS!
I went outside the train to see the view and also enjoy the fresh air~
AND MORE SHEEPS!
I haven't used hair conditioner since I'm here ! Okay this is random LOL
there's white and brown sheeps O.O
Hindon! Ermmmm don't know where is this =X
Kah Yenn also went out with me to enjoy the view outside the train rather than sitting in there
the view outside the train is different from the view inside the train
like entering Narnia LOL
a unique tree that stands itself up the hill
wah this one like Harry Potter LOL
And Lord Of The Rings? LOL
really cold outside the train..
it was cloudy and was about to rain
everywhere is green!
Peace ^^Y
the view is really relaxing..makes you so so so relax
wonder if the water is shallow or deep
and wondering why there's one patch of greenish brown area there
finally reached Middlemarch! Misty up the hill
getting down from the train
picture with the train
we had late BBQ lunch provided by the University
it was delicious !
my portion ! I dropped a small potato on the way back to the train to eat T_T
After having the late lunch,we toured around Middlemarch..this horse is so shy and cute! He wants to bite me though =X
a tiny bank
cowboy-looking Hotel
male sheep!
Female sheep! How I know that? nohhh..look at the statue properly
yay Middlemarch Station!
I was naughty and wanna climb up that thing but my shoe came out and some girl helped me wear my shoe back and she was like "Oh like Cinderella" LMAO
Taaa-daaaa managed!
I think this is kiwi =X
Siew Lee,Kate,Kah Yenn and Liki
there's a Cafe there too..
and a unique car plate
the train is moving at 5.30pm so we got to go up the train before that!
we sat the last row of the train again (which is the front of the train because it is moving backwards now)
basically it was the same view..so if u missed the view on the left,look at the view on the right then LOL
a magnet given this morning..it was Kate's.. not mine XD
bye bye Middlemarch!
I CAN'T STOP TAKING PICTURES OF THE SHEEPS! SO FREAKING CUTE!
Fell asleep on the way back..it was 2 hours ride one-way..so let me do the math,2 hours (go) + 2 hours (back) + 1 hour (eat) + 1 hour (tour in Middlemarch) = 6 hours (total) =____=
we entered 8 tunnels lor
this picture was taken after we woke up..majority of the people in the train fell asleep
MORE AND MORE SHEEPS!
there were horses too..but they looked so thin T_T
it was a nice trip in the train..but I won't go for second time because it will be so boring then..one time is enough XD
the beautiful flowers outside the train station
We reached back at Dunedin Railway Station around 7+pm and then I walked back with Kah Yenn because we stayed really near =X On the way back,there were people throwing eggs at the International Student..they were throwing at the students right in front of Kah Yenn and I ! Kah Yenn and I were so scared we took another route back to our flat..so sadistic lah! It gives me a bad impression about the people here already =/
