Anyhoo- we nearly were in fakatane whakatane- it's south of Tauranga where we were on Sunday. Then we had a day at sea with shocking Internet coverageness so hence lots of posts today.
Tauranga was lovely- very neat and clean and tidy- we went to rotarua where there are hot springs and it smells of sulphur. Good if you need to fart- no one need ever know!!!!!
We had tea at the blue baths and then went on a mauri tour thing- the walking was too much for da so he and I sat and listened to the mauri Hakka scaring the shit out of the tourists!!! They have such a great culture and are such lovely people- big, but lovely. Seriously I wouldn't want to be feeding some of them big boys!!!!
Here is the very colonial blue baths and the museum- will get Chris to pts his photos of the springs- he was temporarily part of a large Maori family!!!
Da was a bit tired after all the activity- and he will kill me for this photo!!!!
Then we had a day at sea when we just relaxed and ate and drank. Last night was formal night when syds Harland and Woolf tie got an airing!!! Again, Chris has the photos and will post later.
Today we are in windy Wellington which is not at all windy!!!
We went to a brilliant museum which had so much interactive stuff, and a stuffed rabbit. Chris is the one on the right!!!!
We went up in the cable car
And visited the museum. All in all it was a lovely day.
Our shadow ship- voyager of the seas has been in the same ports as us for the past few days and we followed them here yesterday- just left for Sydney amidst much honking of both horns and waving of passengers!!! She is huge!!
Now the sun is over the yardarm, and it's time for a few bubbles daaaaaling!!!
More photos soon- wonder what the poor's doing??????
