Blue Spring - Te Waihou Walkway

We had some time before heading over to our motel, so stopped at the Blue Spring for a late evening afternoon walk. All I can say is wow - the water was so crystal clear and had an intence turquoise blue colour. 

It was late afternoon and the sun was setting, and once the water is in the shade the blueness is lost, so if I were to do this trip again I’d plan it when the sun is higher…that said it didn’t stop the boys going for a quick refreshing dip – yikes it was a little bit chilly!

Talk about coincidences... as I sit here writing about the Blue Springs in Takapuna library, I've just had a look at my bottle of water....guess where the water comes from... and I quote "Signature Range Spring Water is bottles at source from one of New Zealand's famous springs called the Blue Springs"... how weird is that!
