Walking through the New Zealand rainforest was a wonderful experience and I have never heard so many beautiful birdsongs and seen such pretty birds in their natural environment. I so enjoyed my walks in blissful solitude and loved the time to think and reflect and pray. I think I may make a habit of such times. The Queen Charlotte Track in the Marlborough Sounds was 75 kilometres over three days (plus one rest day when I read all of Lance Armstrong’s first book ‘It’s not about the bike’ and was totally inspired).
