Soft serve in Dunedin

Before hopping on the train to the Taieri Gorge (we were the youngest people on the train), we indulged in a soft serve made with frozen berries and yoghurt.  You could select a flavour, but the machine provided a taste of the last person's choice.  Bubbles had apricot and I had strawberry:

We had walked around Larnach castle all morning and were quite grateful for a four hour sit-down guided journey into the rocky hills outside Dunedin.  They pointed out successful horse studs and a bath tub that is by the river (they heat it with firewood)!

It is funny to think Taieri Gorge was once heavily populated during the gold rush and there were tea rooms all along the rail line.  There are only a couple of buildings left and the one with the outdoor bath tub was bought by a railway worker for 37 pounds in the 1960s, because the railway wanted to get rid of all the stations.
