Our Christmas Choo-choo - The Weka Pass Express Comments & Discussion

	This sounds like a wonderful tradition for you and your family to take a trip to this place for an old-fashioned steam-train ride in July. The ride must have beautiful vistas. I like that recipe that you posted. Is ginger beer a favorite drink there? Thank you Grace, the trip certainly does have beautiful scenery, we ride through vineyards and beautiful limestone hills with all natural sculpture. Sadly it's all a bit hard to photograph with the jerking of the train. Ginger beer is indeed popular in NZ and it's especially customary for picnics. Grace — Tuesday 22nd September 2009 8:32 am

	Hi there Bron, I've come your way via DL's blog. As a keen train traveler and a Kiwi (though I live in Japan) I was really interested to see this post about the Weka Express-love the photos of the plush looking interior etc etc-as I'd never heard of it before. It's a trip I'd like to do when I'm next in the South Island. Look forward to reading through your recipes and your other posts. TK Tamakikat — Thursday 24th September 2009 12:38 am
