..a fantastic cruise from Auckland to Sydney - to celebrate our 45th wedding anniversary - proposed by the other half (admittedly the better half as he seems to come up with the better ideas!). The trip included scenic cruising as well as shore visits to Rotorua, Napier with its Art Deco town centre, rainy Wellington, Christchurch, foggy Dunedin and the highlight of the cruise: Milford Sound with a quick insight into Oz territory of Tasmania and finally disembarkation early in the morning at Sydney for the flight home! All in all a wonderful holiday with good meals on board, wonderful seafood and even more wonderful people whom we found to be very friendly, warm and hospitable...!!
