Auckland NZ /Mon Feb 4 /Tue Feb 5

We spent last night (Sun Feb 3) at a hotel in Nadi, Fiji and caught an early flight to Auckland New Zealand this morning.

Flying into Auckland


We had a much easier time going through immigration and bio-security than we did when we were here 4 years ago. Last time it seemed to take forever! We arrived at the ship around noon and settled back in quite quickly. Although it was Monday for us, it was Sunday back in the US so Larry was able to watch the Super Bowl!

Tonight Crystal had an exclusive shore side event for the world cruisers. It was called '100 Years of Military History' through dance and song. The event was held at the Auckland War Memorial Museum which is one of New Zealand's most important museums and war memorials. We were tired and thought about skipping this event but we did go and ended up meeting some interesting people. Here are a few photos from the evening ...

A military band played music as we entered the museum.
 
 



Last time we were in Auckland we had a private tour that took us to all the main sites in and around the city so today we decided to walk around the downtown area. It was a beautiful day and we spent time in the CBD, Albert Park and the university.



We set sail at 6pm (Tues). After 2.5 sea days we'll arrive in Sydney - around 3pm on Friday Feb 8th.

Busselton / Tue Feb 19

We tendered in Busselton, Australia today. Busselton is best known for the the Busselton Jetty which was built in 1865. It's more than a mile long and is the longest timber piled jetty in the southern hemisphere. At the end of the jetty is an underwater observatory. You can get to it by walking the length of the jetty or by taking the Jetty Train which looks like a Victorian locomotive but is powered by solar panels.  We spent the day in Busselton with two other couples. We sat on the beach for a couple of hours then walked into town to explore. We met Walter who was quite the character.  After that we had a snack at a local restaurant then took the train to the end of the jetty and toured the underwater observatory before walking back to the tender. Fun day!

Jamestown, St. Helena / Thu Mar 21

Today we're anchored off Jamestown, St. Helena which is a small (10 miles x 6 miles), volcanic island that's part of the British Overseas Territory which includes Ascension (more about that in the next post) and Tristan da Cunha islands.  St. Helena is located approximately 1,100 miles directly west of Luanda, Angola, Africa and about 2,000 miles east of Brazil - basically in the middle of nowhere. Population is 4,500. The island is famous because it's the place of Napoleon Bonaparte's exile and death.  When our ship's Captain came on the PA system the other day, he described these islands and what they had to offer. He ended his comments by hoping that we enjoyed our time on these two rocks in the middle of the ocean! LOL!  We truly enjoyed our time today! We went on a ship tour that took us around most of this scenic island. Again, the pictures cannot convey the landscape's beauty. Jamestown is wedged between two very high peaks. We drove around m...

Parting Thoughts and More ...

It didn’t take too long to re-enter our normal lives. Although I did miss having our linens changed daily, Larry was delighted to get back home so he could eat dinner wearing shorts (not long pants) ... which he couldn’t do on the ship. Because I get sea (and motion) sick I used the scopalomine patch on this cruise. Usually Bonine is enough but the cruise started in rough waters (crossing to Hawaii from LA) so I decided to use the patch. It worked really, really well with no side effects so I continued using it. When it was prescribed (by two different doctors) I asked each if using it for almost 3 months would be an issue and both said 'no.' Well, I should have done more research as it turns out you can get addicted and experience withdrawal .... and I did. I wasn't able to get off it until the 3rd time I tried and even then it took about 3 weeks to be free of all symptoms. After going online to find out how to withdraw, I saw that some people have much more trouble t...
