Milford Sound - Dunedin – Christchurch – Wellington

Wednesday, April 25th

Milford Sound - Dunedin – Christchurch – Wellington Jack's choice of assorted pictures are included from the cities above. Computer coverage is very slow and very costly on the ship! We are in Auckland today and we are returning to the cheap "hole in the wall" internet place that we used the last time we were in Auckland. It is a holiday here, Anzac Day, and we hope everything is open. We know that the banks are closed, so we won't be able to close our savings account here..oh well, we'll do it by email from home! We are loving our cruise, so far! What's not to love! Our room is big, our balcony is terrific, we get goodies each day at 4:30, we eat and sleep when we want to and we go ashore just for fun, not to sightsee. Today Jack and I went to the spa! Jack had a "full body massage" and I had a full facial! They took more than an hour each. When I finished, I found Jack, like liquid. in the waiting room chair. I almost had to call for a wheelchair to get him back to the room! My facial was heaven, creams, massages and more creams! We are spreading out the goodies that are included in our Grand Occasion Package so that we can enjoy it longer! Next, we are on to the Polynesian Islands. Our first stop will be Suva, Fiji, and we hope that they will not be having a coup when we get there. It seems that they do the coup thing regularly, but the ships usually stop there anyway! We'll see what happens!
