Robbin’s Journey

The best things in life aren’t things.

Auckland, New Zealand February 10, 2023

Our city tour was canceled! Drat! …We’re on vacation, it’s all good! We walked through the downtown shopping district with our friends Danny & Pat! It was a lovely day considering it was supposed to be cold and rainy. Reality, not a cloud in sight. 😀

Sailng into port early morning.
Closer up.

    Your trip looks wonderful…I am really thinking that lying on a ship all days sounds really good.

      It is wonderful. Yet there’s plenty to do. …or not to do, as one wishes. I generally keep busy but also enjoy quiet time usually reading, jigsaw puzzle, or watercolor painting. There is a free craft every sea day, so that’s fun. Pat & I go to those. 😀

    Great photos, always loved Auckland. I’ll try to upload a photo I have of Fatima so you can show her. /Users/herbmckelvy/Desktop/IMG_0421.jpg

      Yes, the cruise is going too fast! We will be at the halfway point in a few days. …it is easy to get used to this lifestyle. Too easy!

    OK So I figured out that if you go to the end of any the various sections and you click on the words “travel journey” is shows all the older posts. It’s just the most recent six that show up on the main page. So I went back and I save the itinerary to my photos so now I don’t have to keep finding it.

    Wow those sunrise pics!!

    That buffet of treats looks fantastic. I’m afraid I’d be losing control there.

      Those treats were at the cocktail party! Not in the regular buffet. Plus we don’t go to the buffet. We eat in the dining rooms. Once in a while we grab burgers by the pool! (They also have chicken sandwiches thank God…then I can eat fries!)
