Feb 10, Auckland, New Zealand
Today we stopped in New Zealand's biggest city with 1.5 million People.
We watched the Port Pilot's ship come up to us as we were enjoying our breakfast on the balcony.
Just after we docked, our sister ship the Coral Princess docked. She is on a 14 day cruise out of Sydney, Austrailia.
Welcome to Auckland
On the Bus
Heading out on our tour. Bus and Police car went by.
Getting into the country side but they even have a street sign to say the Kindergarten is here.
They didn't have those mass produced teabags from the store and Toni said it was strong!
They had some old tractors in their playground
I got to slide down the sliding board and look like a farmer
A beautiful overlook on both directions from the overlook
There were thousands of gannets
There were a lot of feathers
After the gannet refuge, our tour guide/host Elle Armon-Jones, owner of The Vineyard Cottages, took us to her place for a feast. First we had cheeses and fresh baked breads. Then a meal that included Salmon, Lamb, Potatoes (White and Sweet), and salad
I even got a picture with Elle
One person who was staying in a cottage had a really neat car.
They had a lot of "used" farming equipment in their yard.
When we got back to the city, Elle pointed out a place called Holey Moley. If you have seen the TV show, you might have an idea of the type of putt putt that this would be. It was themed with a lot of TV shows and movies.
One hole had a record player with an Air Supply record. Air Supply was a soft rock duo formed in Melbourne, Australia, in 1975. And this guy was looking for gold on Treasure Island.
Generations cartoon battle: Flintstones versus the Simpsons
Grampy woukld have liked this hole with drums and a guitar that the ball rolled down
I said this was one of those old classics but Rob and Toni didn't think it was old!!
Based on the Game: Operation
They had JENGA that was my size
The Auckland Sky Needle
We left port just as the sailboat races were going on.
On the way to Tauranga
