Te Araroa: infinity loop

Send us a text

The Blissful Hiker times the tides to kayak down the Puhoi River, rock hop then cross an estuary before walking down the North Shore to Auckland. Her young friend, Lydie, teaches her about the infinity loop and the circle inside it that represents our grounded selves.


In this episode:

1. Blissful is invited to stay as long as she likes at the Puhoi Pub and Hotel, then joins her young European friends to paddle down the river toward the coast.
2. The ranger invites them to camp on his lawn in Wenderholm.
3. A rock hop and a long road walk takes Blissful to Stillwater where another lawn camp is offered. 
4. Another estuary with a deep river cross takes Blissful to the North Shore with on and off rain all the way to Devenport where the ferry shows up just as she walks down the pier.
