On the train to Wellington

Catching a train to Wellington.
I am at the Train Station in Auckland at 7am.
Early enough to rearrange luggage, provided KiwiRail complains bout the size of my Photo’s suitcase.

Met a couple of nice folks on the train.
Dave is living in Invercargill on the Southern Island, Michelle his daughter.
Jose, who was picking up his mother arriving from Chicago. A very energetic, very helpful and smart guy.

The sky is overcast today.
That resulted in mostly boring pictures. No spot light, no shadows. There will be better days coming...

The best ones of today.
