Day 2, Auckland

Day 33, February 7, 2011

I worked for a while this morning and after lunch, Ron and I walked up Queen Street to a Starbucks, then to the Skycity—think Seattle’s Space Needle only with 5 restaurants, a hotel  and a two story casino at the base.  At the top, people can skywalk or bungie jump or just look at the view. Ron and I didn’t do any of those since the cost is pretty hefty.  We did walk around and then made our way back to the ship. 

At the moment I am lounging by the pool, ready to take another dip.  Tonight we are dining at the Italian restaurant so we can watch the ship sail away from Auckland. out Hauraki Gulf, through the Colville Channel with the great Barrier Island on our portside. We sail into the Bay of Plenty on a southerly course and arrive at Tauranga in the morning.

Excuse  me while I take another dip in the pool to cool off. J

Ahhh.  Much better.

Tonight we’re entertained by Jeff Stevenson, a British Comedian.  Just so you know, a couple of nights ago Peter Cousins from Australia gave a stunning performance the night before last.  He’s amazing and has played major roles in several big stage productions, one being the lead in Phantom of the Opera in London for around 200 performances.  

Until tomorrow....
