Coming around a curve in the road the other day towards queenstown I could see A Lot of smoke. And it looked like a trail instead of rising in a plume. Couldn't figure out what the source was till I got a bit closer. And low and behold it was a steam powered locomotive. Very cool. I managed to get in front of it and got to see it pull into the station. Never having seen one myself I thought it was pretty neat. And in Queenstown they also have a steam powered ship that goes out for daily cruises on the lake. The boat I know was launched in 1910 so it's over a hundred years old and still going strong. The locomotive I think was from around the late 1880s. Neat to see these two amazing pieces of history still in operation.
Those mountains in the distance... beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI have been meeting so many people from HERE that have been to New Zealand recently. I don't know why I think that's so strange, I guess because it's southeast Indiana, haha. I met a lady at work today who just took a 25 day cruise around New Zealand, Australia, and Fiji Islands. She said she loved it!
