Leigh Thanks very much. Yes, that tour company has been mentioned a few times and has a good reputation. It is handy having dedicated train transport in case the ship is a bit late disembarking.

Kiwi Kruzer Posted November 15, 2018 #28 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Enjoy your day at Mount Maunganui . The Golden Princess bridge cam has not been working for a few days, just shows a black screen. Here are a couple of shots of you from the Ports of Tauranga cams.

possum52 Posted November 16, 2018 Author #34 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Thanks David for the shots of the Golden today at Mt Maunganui. We had a long day - we went to Te Puia at Rotorua. It was quite an interesting day, visiting a kiwi fruit farm and a Manuka honey place on the way to Rotorua. We enjoyed the Maori performance and I even managed some retail therapy purchasing some kiwi fruit relish, body lotion made with Manuka honey and a pair of gloves made from possum fur, merino wool and silk. David, the bridge cam is most likely not working due to an incident a few nights ago which affected the tv and internet coverage. Auckland tomorrow.

possum52 Posted November 17, 2018 Author #38 Share Posted November 17, 2018 Thanks David, we’ve had a great day in Auckland thanks. What a beautiful city it is. We’ve thoroughly enjoyed our visit to NZ and are hoping the Tasman is kind to us for the next few days for our return to Melbourne. Leigh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwi Kruzer Posted November 20, 2018 #44 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Welcome home. You had perfect timing with the weather. South Island has had record rainfall and a heavy dosing of snow since you called and today in Auckland it’s so cold I would not be surprised if it snowed here.

I think we were very fortunate with the weather for all the cruise. It did get a little rocky coming home but I wasn’t sea sick which is a big plus.
