“The sundry contemplation of my travels.”—Shakespeare

As the rail trip to Frankton Junction per medium of the comfortable Main Trunk Expresses is well known to most readers of the Magazine, I shall not cover that familiar ground in this article. By arranging to arrive at Frankton early in the morning the traveller, after an appetising breakfast in the well-equipped and courteously staffed railway refreshment room, has a choice of continuing his trip by the first train to Rotorua, or of visiting the adjacent town of Hamilton, and joining a later train, at midday, for the thermal district. The writer and party chose the first alternative, and arrived in Rotorua in time for lunch. A few days spent in Rotorua can be both interesting and healthful, but our thoughts were centred this time upon the overland trip to Napier, hitherto a terra incognito.
