Well, I am back from another cruise to New Zealand on "Voyager of the Seas". We got back a week ago, but I have been so flat out helping the Oldies unpack and catch up with loads of email that I have just gotten around to the blog. No worry, there will be lots of photos and info from the cruise over the next weeks. We spent a couple of days in Sydney before joining Voyager. We stayed in a great room overlooking Circular Quay. Scruffy, Milkshake and I spent most of the time on the balcony looking at the endless stream of cruise ships, ferries, yachts and small craft. The top left image is not Voyager of course, it is one of the Holland-America Line ships. We were awake just after sunrise on December 18 to watch Voyager arrive, very pretty in the dawn light. Unka Mark and Aunty Vicki arrived a couple of hours later and we embarked as soon as possible. Voyager has changed a bit since our first cruise in her. More cabins have been squeezed in and some of our favourite spots for listening to live music have gone, but it is still a great ship. Late in the afternoon we cruised out of Sydney Heads, past Hornby lighthouse (Mum's favourite), transferred the Pilot back onto his launch, and settled in for a couple of days crossing the Tasman Sea.
