Sea Day enroute to Napier NZ

Today was the first sea day in 4 days and boy did we all need it.  Spending three days in Auckland was fabulous and then Tauranga and the shore side event last night at Hobbiton we were all exhausted.  It is hard work having so much fun!

I awoke around 5 am when the ship sailed for Napier but I decided I was too tired to get up and went back to sleep.  When I awoke it was almost 9:30 this is very unusual for me.  I am not a good sleeper at home but on here I sleep like a baby I think it must be the gentle movement.  We did absolutely nothing yesterday.  I didn’t even go to knitting.  I did go into the theatre where they were broadcasting the Oscars it was crowded so I stood in the back for a few minutes and left.  Went to talk to my friends in the shops.  Last night the whole entertainment staff put on a one time World Cruise show Hooray for Hollywood.  It was fabulous.  They sang all Oscar winner songs.   As we have an early morning tour in Napier tomorrow by classic car I headed to bed around midnight!  Bill was still having a cigar. A few more Hobbiton pix and 2 from the photographers.
