More Christ-Church adventures. Aside from the Arctic Center, Christ Church is one end of the Tranzalpine Railroad. This is a four hour ride from the Canterbury Plains to the foothills of the Southern Alps as it climbs gorges and hills, known as the "Staircase". Lots of viaducts and tunnels. Views from the open viewing cars were breathtaking though tough on the hairs. Pictured here are Drake and Penny boarding the train with great anticipation. Marc holds a cup of java during a break at Arthur's Pass. Drake continues his campaign to scowl at camera lenses. Alden happily squeezes some queasy squeazy thingy (yes, taking liberties with the king's English) while riding the rails. I tried to include a view from the train.
