Wanganui Road Trip

Last weekend we took a traintrip/roadtrip to Wanganui for Wendy's birthday BBQ. This was Michelle's first look at New Zealand outside of Wellington. The weather was good, the friends were good, the Moore Wilson's coffee was good, and the mini-carrot cakes with cream cheese icing was Goooooood :)

This is the inside of Wellington Train Station....early in the morning.

Wendy and Michelle taking cash out of the atm in preparation for the antique shopping that would take place in route...
We sat in the very front of the train :)

Here are a few shots of the countryside outside the train windows :






Our train ride ended in Paraparaumu, where Wendy's mom picked us up to continue our trip by car.



We stopped for yummy brunch with Wendy's mom and her Nana and Michelle and I split the egg's benedict and pancakes (our usual savory/ sweet combo)....so so good.


Look what we found in Wanganui!!

Little lambies!! (with leashes....)


They were like the inside of Ugg boots. I wanted one.


These are the chickens (called "chooks") that live at Wendy's mom's house. We got to feed them.
