Nice railway journey up the Tairri Gorge on the Dunedin Railway. Great scenery, nice comfortable carriage and great commentary on what we saw. A box lunch was provided plus water. Coffee etc available on the train for an additional charge. Maybe even better if theyd had more local South Island NZ produce in the lunch ( Ocho Chocolates, cheese etc - just a thought. ). Train left Dunedin station just after 10:00 and returned 13:30 with a stop of about 30 Loved this local NZ Chocolate factory in Dunedin. We did the tour which was great - learned a lot about producing good chocolate and the Pacific Island beans they use. Also great tasting where we were able to compare their own chocolates against commercially produced versions. Very small scale production but very focused on doing the right things.

Had a fantastic day on The Tiery Gorge Railway, Dunedin, New Zealand today. Our guide, Dave, was a funny guy who new all the best spots on our journey and all the worst jokes... ( windows live) We booked this tour on our cruise ship wan was shuttled from Port Chalmers (45 mins) to Dunedin for the ride. Great scenery along the way. The train trip was fantastic. The carriges were restored and included large viewing windows, air conditioning, well looked after toilets and a snack bar selling coffee and alcohol. 2 diesel locomotives pulled about 8 carriges full of happy cruisers. Was a great atmosphere. The trains crew were very chatty and even took photos for us. We were supplied a snack box each and a bottle of water for our 3 hr journey. Again, the scenery was spectacular. I highly reccommend it.
