New Zealand - Part Two

I'm sitting in an internet cafe that is, in fact, a bus. I might take a picture of it on the way out... it's a bit surreal sitting in the front passenger seat with a PC in front of me.

Here's a few pics. The roads in New Zealand are an experience and a half -speed limits are either 100 or 50 kms an hour, one lane bridges that go for miles, which at the same time have a train track running down the middle of it, train tracks that cross the roads countless times with no boom gates, just a sign that says 'look for trains', and a round-about that has a train track that runs directly through the middle of it. I'm under the impression that whoever was in charge of this illustrious rail project had some sort of delusion that trains can only travel in dead straight lines and that anything that gets in the way basically should just get train-tracked over. I wouldn't be surprised if I saw the tracks running directly through someone's front door because nothing, NOTHING gets in the way of the train!

(this isn't that bridge, by the way... which should be obvious on account of the fact that it's not dead straight)

and a mountain...
