After arriving at some ungodly hour in Auckland, far from fresh after our 2 weeks cruising, we hit Auckland with a bang and checked out all it had to offer. During the cruise LZ had been wishing and praying for some sushi, so after Princess cruises failed to deliver, searching out some Japanese delights was first on our list. This set of chopsticks said it all!! :-) DW

Along East Coast, Going North From Wellington, New Zealand

Jan 23, 2013

We are the champions! Assiduously attending the ballroom dancing classes each at sea day paid off. We went to the recap and competition today and wowed the teacher with our waltz and carried off the trophy. We can put our skills to the test later during the dancing after the formal dinner later.

Some perspective on the size our boat we sailed around New Zealand. This is at Wellington where we met up with an old friend, walked round the botanical gardens and ate sushi (no surprise!!) DW
