Day 35 - Napier, New Zealand

World Cruise 2013
February 9, 2013

The ship arrived at Napier, New Zealand at 10:40 AM.  Today I took a tour called "Cape Kidnappers Safari". 

The tour left the ship and traveled by a 4 x 4 vehicle along the picturesque shores of Hawkes Bay and the rugged coastline of Cape Kidnappers.  We drove onto private property in the hill county where we had a view of the International Golf Course before we arrived at the famous gannet colony where we had a close up view of these amazing birds.

The gannets are hatched by November and by May the young birds leave New Zealand for a 2 1/2 week flight to Australia where they remain for about 2 1/2 years and they then return to New Zealand where after they are about 5 years old they breed and remain in New Zealand for the rest of their life.  Below are some pictures from the ship and my tour.

Below are some pictures taken from the ship and from my tour.
