Day 5, Last day on the trail  

The last day dawned brightly, but  after a couple of hours it started pouring rain.  By the time we reached our final destination, Middlemarch, we were drenched and freezing.  We joined fellow cyclists at a cafe with a welcoming fire and tried to dry off.

First bridge of the day.

Hooray! Middlemarch, end of the trail.

From Middlemarch we took the Taieri Gorge Railway, in heritage carriages, to Dunedin.

One of the many bridges the train goes over.

The train stopping over at Arthur's Knob for a while.

The Gorge is quite spectacular.
