I am about to go for a run. I will see how I go… I would guess 4km will be easy. If I manage my speed 6km should be easy. We will see… I will take the GPS so I may show a plot here if I am proud of what I do (or you may see nothing if I am embarrased)

Photo of the Day

One of the highlights in New Zealand was taking the Silver Fern train north from Christchurch to Picton, and then the ferry to Wellington. The train was probably the best of the two as it was nice and warm inside, and the view on one side of the train was mountains and the other side was the ocean. At times the train straddled the ocean it was that close.

Breakfast and morning tea on the train was rather civilised with service in the seat thanks to the low number of people on the train. It was an amazing trip – but it was only about four hours or something. Then I took the Ferry. This was something like three hours. Actually this was a bit boring – there was a movie showing but I had just seen it on the plane over so I really did not want to spend the money to see the show again.

The photo below is of the ferry steaming out of Picton – amazing country… I would recommend this trip to anyone really… But probably in spring or summer. I forgot to mention earlier. One of the other cute places to visit in New Zealand is the hamlet of Akoroa. It is just south of Christchurch – about an hour south. It is an old port and is more like a fishing village with a beautiful Cafe on the pier.
