NZ & Australia Cruise - Napier Jan. 17, 2020

Note there are multiple pages of photos. Push "All" to enable viewing of all pages.

Stopped in Napier, NZ Jan. 17, 8 to 8. Had a wonderful day of sightseeing in this charming rebuilt city, and photographed gannets close up at Cape Kidnappers with Gannet Safaris Overland. After dinner we took a picture of our awesome cabin attendant. At this point we had spent almost a month on the ship, seeing him morning and evening, always being greeted by name with a smile, and always being delighted by his charming personality and excellent, fast service. Crew members on cruises are usually wonderful, but Rosario was nothing short of exceptional.

Napier center city from beach lookout - such a pretty, well-kept city. But 2 days later we heard about a gang shooting there.
