From Christchurch, we took the Tranzalpine Express up into the mountains. We were very lucky to be on this wonderful railroad adventure as it was raining in Christchurch when we docked. After traveling up into the mountains to Arthur's Pass, we had lunch at the Wilderness Lodge, which is in the middle of a working sheep station. So we were up close and personal with the sheep on the ranch.
We enjoyed a great lunch at the ranch with some great wine --George managed to stow a bottle back to the boat -- 2004 Stonewall Marlborough Merlot! We slept most of the way back to Christchurch -- but George managed to get a few great pictures when we stopped for photos.
Back in Christchurch, we stopped at the Arts Center for a few brief moments of shopping. Ann managed to buy a few skeins of beautifully hand dyed New Zealand wool. So it was a very successful day!
