This morning started with a walk on a path between the highway and the ocean until it reached Pukerua Bay, where it climbed a hill into the village and the turned South along the Araharakeke Pathway.

Araharakeke Pathway

The entire walk today was on paved paths and sidewalks, quite a change from hiking the Tararuas.  I walked on grassed areas as much as possible to reduce the stress the hard surface can have on the legs.

After reaching the north end of Porirua the path traveled through a couple of the local attractions.  Aotea Lagoon is a large park that has playgrounds, walkways and picnic areas.  The Adrenalin Forest is a confidence course with obstacles to travel through among the tree branches.

All in all it was a nice relaxing walk for the day.
