The road, somewhere north of wellington... | |
Wanganui from above. We climbed a small tower to look at it.
The most exciting thing in this picture is that you can see the Warehouse (where everyone gets a bargain!)

Stephanie from canada, up in the tower.

Sunset in Wanganui. Wow.
|
The journey actually started close to the National park, so
that's where we spent the night and saw another great sunset.

Me & Our Canoe.
| |
The Whanganui river. It is really really beautiful, just like that.
| |
Spending 3 days on a canoe, doing nothing but watching the view, was actually quite good.
| |
Taking a small hike, to see the bridge-to-nowhere, and meeting a goat on the way.
| |
The bridge to nowhere. It is just what it sounds like -
quite a large, impressive bridge, with nothing on either side, but a small
trail. They wanted to turn this whole land into farmland, but it wasn't any good, but they built the bridge before they knew that...

Omer in our Canoe.
| |
The 2nd night, we spent in a Maori Marae, with a couple of
Maoris showing us some traditional customs and stuff like that. It was quite good.
| |
Last day on the river. We actually capsized on the last rapid, which was kinda fun, really.
