Puhoi in the Pouring Rain

It's been very very wet recently but we didn't want to stay indoors again last weekend and headed to Puhoi to explore.

Puhoi was settled by Bohemian villagers in the 1860s but was isolated for many years with only river access to the valley. As a result, many of the original buildings have been left intact including the library - a single room dating back to 1913. It has an open fire, a safe from the days when it was occupied by the roading authority and marks on the door frame showing where the floodwaters have reached.
