We had a very nice relaxing day this past Sunday. We attended Church at 10:00 AM. Took a Gondola up to the Stratosfare Restaurant for brunch which was very good. After brunch we went for a nature walk on top of the hill where the restaurant was and heading back down via the Gondola. We finished off our day with a 5 mile hike up the hill next to our Airbnb and then settled in for a evening of good conversation with Su our amazing Airbnb host.

We are off to Auckland today to finish off our last two days in New Zealand and then to Cape Town South Africa on October 3 to start the next leg of our journey.

While at Church today we saw a quote from Pope Francis which we thought was very appropriate for our journey and I would like to share it with you.

“This is important: to get to know people, listen, expand the circle of ideas. The world is crisscrossed by roads that come closer together and move apart, but the important thing is that they lead towards the good.”
