The 10km Puhoi River


On the day we moved to Kerikeri my daughter and I left an hour before the other 2, when we arrived we were an hour late. This is one of the reasons why. The Puhoi River is situated just out of Auckland and just before the town of Warkworth. Such a lovely quiet little town. This river flows southeast from it's source 10 kilometres through Warkworth, through Puhoi then ending at the coast of Whangaparaoa Peninsula. It's mostly used by Kayakers who enjoy the local scenery.

I hope your week has been good so far. For me it's been pretty insane. My 2 days off start today and I have absolutely no plans but to relax. Daylight savings started today so us Southern Hemispherers put our clocks forward last night in preparation of Summer.

The scene looks very peaceful, I can see why kayakers like passing through there. The EU is going to consider eliminating daylight savings after this year. There is a lot of talk about having a vote on it. Many consider it outdated, so we'll see what happens.

I love Puhoi. When I first arrived in New Zealand a group of us used to go up there occasionally.

Beautiful river for photos and/or kayaking. Love that you and your daughter stopped to enjoy the scenery on moving day! That's the way life should be.
