At the end of November, we traveled by train to Picton. That meant hauling two heavy bags filled with electronics and chargers and clothes to the train station, a few blocks from the house.

Once embarked on the train, we were treated with amazing views.

The train has an open car at the end, allowing tourists to perform death defying selfies and regular Joe’s like me to take pictures and pretend we’re a digital Picasso.

Once in Picton, we were picked up by boat (eek) to go to the bach in the Middle Of Nowhere Bay.

The bach itself was in the most picturesque surroundings.

The bay itself was amazing.

The second day we went fishing and toured around on the boat.

And on the third day it was time to pack up, ride the boat back to Picton and catch the train back home. But before we embarked on the train, we had a lunch at The Jolly Roger, where I saw some majectic sea flap flaps.
