a day on the river

Today we went for a three hour boat cruise on the Kaipara River around the Helensville area.  It was a wonderful, relaxing event but definitely not a highspeed thrilling jetboat ride!  lol.  It reminded us of a train ride we took last year in Waihi.  While the train was 'enjoyable', it was definitely not 'high adventure'!  lol.  However, today's boat ride was lovely - the weather was magnificent (I got a sunburn), the company was wonderful (thanks to Geoff, Amber & Alex for joining us), the scenery was beautiful (mangroves, ocean harbour, remnants of ancient forests, historic townsites, cattle & sheep lazily grazing along the river).  A very nice way to spend a summer day.
(While on the boat, I took this picture of a plane flying past the sun.... I love it!)
