Motat
Monday, November 19th, 2007
I went to the MoTaT transport museum today. fantastic place — huge, 19 Hectares, although large parts of that didn’t really have much to do with anything.
I saw a bunch of real steam engines working, and had a good long chat to the bloke running them. they have a large pump house that used to be involved in pumping water for Auckland on site, and are in the middle of restoring it’s engine, and it’s huge.
it was well worth the UK#2.50 that I payed to get in as a student.
I also bought a may of NZ today, Auckland is really complicated with inlets everywhere.
