On the morning of Day 6, I had my best run in New Zealand. The group had the morning free: some biked, some hiked, some shopped, and I ran along the lake towards the airport. From downtown Queenstown to the airport is approximately 5 miles and it happened to be time for a long run, so I ran out and back, for approximately 10 miles. I felt great being outside and running.

The name of a bit of the trail that I ran is called the Frankton Track. I ran, however, on mostly paved trail along the street and did not venture near the lake, which I felt would be more wooded and remote. I saw 2 people from our group biking on this paved trail as I was still headed out and they were returning.

The photo of Nando’s is for Alan. We ate at a Nando’s in London and he loved it. I wanted to capture it for him. We will definitely eat at Nando’s when we go back to Queenstown together.
