We are almost in Gisborne. There is a wonderful view from this place that Maila wants to show me. And it’s a good place for having a break after 1h 20 minutes.

We are roughly 40min away from Gisborne now. Maila wants to show me the wonderful view from this place. It’s also a good spot for having breakfast.

The runners are gone. Now we are visiting the town with Ramai. These cities’ streets have always the same layout and design. I’m trying to take something particular but that’s tricky.

Before we drive back to Ruatoria, we made a last stop at McDonald’s. These ducks would like to have a good fat burger as well apparently :-).
