Home

We are home safe and not quite sound, but we are getting better. We had bad jetlag for a week.
Here we landed in Tahiti. It was very hot and humid. We changed planes, and on we go.

We made it to Auckland. Our hotel is right across the street from the pier. Tomorrow when we wake up the ship will be looking straight into our room. We had a very nice fish dinner on the wharf. The temperature is probably 70, maybe a little cooler, but no coats. 


Lots of boats. Big, small, tall, and short. Fast, slow, sail, and paddle. Bring your $$.



In Auckland, we visited a park. Here we are riding in a vehicle, thru the penguins because it is very cold. Probably zero or below.




That is one large turtle. They had a very large aquarium. Lots of different kinds of sealife.  We had a good time. They had a walkway under the aquarium that went around in a circle, so you could see lots of fish and sealife. They were swimming over our heads and in front and behind us. Pretty cool.

That looks like so much fun! Maybe one day I'll make it there!

That is our dream vacation; someday we will make it happen for now I will be filled with jealousy.

You guys are quite the travelers! It looks like such a dream trip, good for you. I am sure the jet lag was well worth it.

Sounds like you just had the trip of a lifetime. How fun! You guys really know how to escape winter. Just go somewhere where it is actually summer! Great pictures!
