Train ride tonight!

By sarah, 4 February, 2006

We just got back from our train trip into the Waitakere's. It was a lovley evening. We started at the depot and went through numerous tunnels in our small diesel tram. They were quite snug as we each had our own little compartments-so the three of us fit well into it. There was a dam along the way that we stopped at and a picnic area nearby where we had dinner. Liam was abit grumpy as he'd had little sleep all day, but he ate dinner and patted our guides dog at the site. On the way back we saw heaps of glow worms in the tunnel to which Liam exclaimed 'wow' all the time!.They stopped on a bridge before another tunnel and those that wanted to have a closer look on foot walked up and into the tunnel-Lim and i stayed behind while Reuben went up,but one of the tour guides took Liam, kindly, and showed him some glow worms that were even nearer to our carriage at the foot of the tunnel we'd just been through previously. We also saw Weta's on the way back in the tunnels. All in all a good night and Liam fell asleep in the car on the way back.
