cy it was very cold on the ship when in Australia and at sea. Dan brought it and I took it over. I wore it part of every day. Thank you.

hang10tiki no, we brought home almost nothing from this trip. At the end I'll post our souvenirs.

LoriLovesTiki thank you Lori, that makes the work worth it.

WooHooWahine you are the worlds best travel agent. It all went very smoothly. Thank you so much.

Holler Waller also very enlightening.

===============================

One more port to visit in New Zealand. This time it's at the city of Auckland.

In 2013 we took a jet boat ride along the Rogue River in Oregon with my sisters family. The ride was beautiful and fun. Once in awhile we spun out and had a little thrill. So we signed up for the jet boat in Auckland.

From the ship we could see the dock where we would get on the boat. I wondered where the river was at the port.

Here we are after the ride. No cameras or purses etc. allowed on the jet boat.

The reason. We went 100 miles an hour on the ocean. It was freezing and the water hit us like small pebbles. I found it fun. Dan hated it very much.

After we went back to the ship and changed into dry clothes we were off to the Auckland Museum.

I missed getting the front. This is the way to the back door.

Inside there were the usual exhibits but we were on the search for Maori culture.

Found it!!!

Once back in the port area we went looking for art. Very little to be found and everything is super expensive.

I bought a couple of shot glasses and then

it was time to board our ship and to head to Tahiti.

French Polynesia here were come!
