Day 32 - Auckland, New Zealand

World Cruise 2013
February 6, 2013

After a overnight stay at the harbor in New Zealand, today was our first of our 2 full days in New Zealand.  I took a tour called "Coast to Coast".  The tour left the harbor and passed through the wine growing areas.  We first stopped at the Haumoana Farm, a 200-acre holding situated on the South Kaipara Peninsula.  We saw a demonstration by a trained sheep dog and a sheep shearing demonstration and had some refreshments.  Our next stop was at Muriwai Beach on the rugged west coast.  We arrived at the beach and walked to the lookout point to see the gannet colony.  Leaving Muriwai we arrived back at the ship.

Below are some pictures from my first full day at Auckland, New Zealand and on my tour.
