Taupo Lake & Waitomo Caves
Huka Falls
Went jet boating along the river today. Not much time to update our BLOG. Just a note to let you know we're traveling along in our van and enjoying New Zealand. A few photos of our cave visit.

All is Well in New Zealand
All is Well in New Zealand
Christchurch is not the same city we visited only 6 days ago. After a tour to a cheese factory, a bee/honey shop, a winery, and several New Zealand National Parks fronting the Pacific Ocean, we came home to the news of Christchurch’s massive, destructive earthquake. Christchurch is about 1-1/2 hours from Karen &Bob’s house by plane, or 10 hours by car plus a ferry transit to the North Island.
We’re now on our way to a resort, Taupo, all safe and sound in our 10-passenger van. Taupo is about 4 hours away from Auckland in the interior valley About noon time we arrived at the underground ”glow worm” limestone caves. A walk through staligtites and staligmites brought us to the river cave entrance where we boarded a boat to take us through the dark, silent, glow worm cave where all we could hear were the drops of water seeping from above ground on its way to the underground river.

Final BLOG from the Sun Princess - Farewell
FINAL BLOG FROM THE SUN PRINCESS
This will be our final blog from the Sun Princess. We’re preparing our disembarkation bag tags, packing up our suitcases, and enjoying our final day at sea playing cards and taking line dance instruction. The next dance we’re going to teach at the Yacht Club is, “Cotton-Eyed-Joe”. It’s a great group Western dance.
It’s Jerry’s Birthday and our room steward made him a turtle out of washrags. This cruise both Rosie & Jerry celebrated their birthdays.
We all dressed for Princess Cruises Captain’s Circle Cocktail Party and enjoyed our Lobster/Shrimp dinner in the Dining Room….sang Happy Birthday to Jerry and toasted to a great cruise aboard the Sun Princess!
Flying tomorrow to New Zealand for a week with our friends Karen & Bob.
Farewell for now…
