We Have Been to Nowhere Today!

What a wonderful day Christine and I have had. Zooming up these Whanganui River canyons in a jet boat for 37kms. We were treated like vip's by the staff and given the front two seats to ride in. Stopping several times on the way for our driver Thomas to pass on his river knowledge as a 5th generation river-man.
Once arriving at the landing we walked for another hour through native bush to the Bridge to Nowhere!
My impression of the day were (1) just how busy the river is with canoeist everywhere, (2) the huge number of people walking various bush walks that you come upon, and (3) just how unfit I am. Never the less we made it to the Bridge and back to the landing again. Yet... fit enough to totally enjoy the three doughnuts we did in the jet boat on our way downstream to home.
Maybe the cost was a wee bit extravagant but it was worth every penny. I think it will be early to bed tonight.Read more
