Taeri Gorge Train Ride


Before our departure, while I was busy having
my neck repaired, my intrepid travel companions
were gathering a feast at the farmer's market.
In this picture, Marieke (l) and Jason, two other
PhD candidates from the anthro department,
unwrap an assortment of cheeses. New Zealand,

Ewa (l), a PhD in Nutrition, and Tiffany (r), another
anthro PhD, giggle about the 'Blue Sheep' cheese
(bottom right). Also on the table, amazing kumara
and pumpkin hummus - yummy! New Zealand,
July 25, 2009.

Crossing the old viaduct over the gorge. This
train has been running since Gold Rush days,
when Dunedin was the biggest city in the country.
