Leaving Sydney on our 13 day cruise around New Zealand...Visiting Bay of Islands, Auckland, Rotorua, Napier, Wellington, Christchurch, Dunedin & Fiordland National Park
HAPPY NEW YEAR 2010
Some girl decided to make herself into a ball of streamers
First stop BAY OF ISLANDS and it was absolutely breathtaking. It was our favourite place in New Zealand

AUCKLAND
I promised Don Dennys when we arrived in Auckland. He was a little disappointed as all he wanted was Buffalo Strips and Ranch Dipping Sauce, which they didn't have...
NAPIER - The Art Deco City. We loved it here and would love to visit again
DUNEDIN
So we found the Cadbury factory and of course we took the tour! The best part was sampling the chocolate. The sweet sent of chocolate was amazing I wish I could have bottled it and took it home with me!
Entering beautiful FIORDLAND
It was filled with waterfalls, steep cliffs and snow capped mountains
Enjoying ourselves on the cruise...
New Zealand is absolutely stunning. We will definitely return. Its very similar to Australia only on a smaller scale.
The last 2 days at sea were rough, not only were the swells high but I was for quarantined for 48hrs with bird/swine flu caught from some nasty person on the ship, not a fun way to end your holidays. Don was the best doctor ever and took such great care of me. Infact the last 2 days were a blur... I was so so sick. All in all we love cruising and cant wait to do it again... Hopefully this year!
You guys travel more than anyone else i know! :) Gotta love the Cruises! Kiersten and I have decided to do a bit of traveling this year too...Thailand in April and Japan in June. If you guys come up QLD make sure you let us know! Miss you guys!! xoxo
