Well, it has been since 1978 when I last went on a cruise, but here we go on the Sun Princess this weekend for two weeks to New Zealand. We sail out of Barangaroo, under the Harbour Bridge, out the Heads over to the Bay of Islands as the first stop three days later. We skip down the east coast, visiting Auckland, Tauranga, Napier, Wellington, Akaroa (80km south of Christchurch), and Dunedin. We also sail through Fiordland National Park at the lower left-hand corner of the South Island before returning to Sydney.
It's not a very adventurous cruies, but I hope it to be relaxing, which I really need at the moment. As I was mentioning I last cruised back in 1978 on the second last trip ever done by the P&O Arcadia (at that time - there have been namesakes christened since). Back then it was pretty primitive. This one looks extremely luxurious - probably not really my environment, really, but hell, I can live up to it!
I've made this post - the first I've done for about 9 months, let's hope I get time to post from NZ again!
