Rare drron29 Posted February 14, 2019 Author #76 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Rojaan started off with the pan fried foie gras with apple whilst I had the caviar. .. Getting the most value out of it I then had the scallops and the porcini cream soup with caviar. ... For mains we both had the lobster with caviar once more. . For desserts we had the souffle-no photo. All the dishes were excellent.The porcini soup exquisite. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare drron29 Posted February 14, 2019 Author #77 Share Posted February 14, 2019 After Melbourne it was 3 sea days so not many pictures apart from food.There wasn't much different there as 2 of the nights we were in a group so photos took second place.First a lunch in Atlantide.We do try not to overdo it at lunch so we had the mushroom pasta and a funny apple crumble. .. They were both quite delicious. Then a lunch at Kaiseki-sushi and it is complimentary.Very nice and well presented. .. One of the nights we had dinner with our trivia team.We have bonded pretty well-3 seconds and one first so far.The dinner was in La Terraza.They put out 2 boards of antipasto before we ordered. . The dinner was good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare RachelG Posted February 17, 2019 #94 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Hate that you had such a nasty day for Milford Sound. We have been there twice, both brilliantly sunny which sure makes it look different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare drron29 Posted February 17, 2019 Author #95 Share Posted February 17, 2019 You were lucky Rachel.NZ isn't known as he land of the long white cloud for nothing. We visited 40 years ago and stayed at the hotel there.lovely sunny days with snow on the mountains.just stunning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just about to ask Ron if Milford Sound ever saw the sun because it seems every picture I see it dark and dreary. Good to know the bright round orb in the sky makes an appearance from time to time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jollyjones Posted February 17, 2019 #97 Share Posted February 17, 2019 The only time I was there, I hardly saw any of it at all, the cloud was so low and so thick. Ah well, just an excuse to go back some day ... soon, I hope. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare jpalbny Posted February 17, 2019 #98 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Nice pix, even in the ugly weather. Glad you are enjoying yourselves! Thanks for the picture of our old friend, Oceania Regatta. We have sailed on her in the past (it's been almost 12 years) but our Australia/NZ cruise was on Nautica. And yes, the fiords were cloudy and rainy for us too! We have to bring RachelG next time, I guess... 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
