29 August 2013 Auckland

We docked in Auckland this morning.  A very chilly and wet morning indeed.  We dressed ourselves for the weather.  350 of our buddies disembarked and no doubt 350 newbies embarked. 

Sam and I decided to take the ferry to Devonport.  This is a very pretty spot across the water from Auckland, beautiful homes, very expensive, but very picture postcard.  We headed up the main street when we got off  the ferry, found a nice coffee shop and when we went inside, we found Dallas and Don so we had coffee with them and then headed off to explore the place.  Sam went to the Navy Museum.  It did rain on and off but we did our best to stay out of it.  We contemplated doing the city as well but I must admit when we came off the ferry we were both pretty tired and came back to the ship.    Had a bit of a rest and then watched the ship leave, again it was raining, be good to spend a bit longer in Auckland, maybe anor time.   Sabine and Sam   XXXX
