Days at sea, than New Zealand and then Hello Sydney

Hello again, these daily posts are sure fun lol

Yes back at sea and heading to Auckland, Bay of Islands and Sydney 

A couple sea videos for you

We arrived at Auckland and the day was mild 

Looking from our balcony 

Now we have been to Auckland heaps so just did a bit of walking around and Paul spoke to one of our friends but unable to catch up in person......

Tug boats came back to assist us leaving Auckland 

We arranged to have a meal in one of the restaurants and we had the back window views  

Sailing away and the pilot alongside 

Next morning we were at Bay of Islands and we stayed on boards as we were here in March so no need this time....and look at the big crack in the window lol

So a little tour of one of the decks....14

Statue....and this is the area we played Trivia most afternoons 

Tenders were busy taking some to and from 

Nice to have a day to relax with less people on board 

And another book I read 

So cute 

Then off again and this time Sydney 

The Harbour bridge 

Coming in to dock 

The Opera house and Prince Harry was going to be there later 

Beautiful Day and Luna Park is under the bridge to the right 

Selfie enjoying being off ship 

Our hotel for the next 2 nights 

We did plenty of walking looking at local markets 

And looked down to our ship which would be leaving later 

Our room 

A little kitchen 

View from Balcony 

See the Invictus games flag up there 

Our ship sounded the horn and started moving out 

Goodbye Celebrity Solstice 

Later the clouds really rolled in and weather changed.....

The sound of the thunder was interesting lol
Well now on to tomorrow......xoxoxoxoxo

Goodbye Vancouver....hello Celebrity Solstice Cruise ship

Oh my goodness hello out there 😀😀😀 Way back on Friday 21st September we said goodbye to Vancouver, British Columbia and here was one of their trolley buses.  A taxi took us to the port to board our ship 

First photo of us now on the ship.....could not get any of it due to building surrounding 

Paul checking the decking near the life boats 

Look how tall it is from that deck 

and looking out the back over the balcony viewing many suite balconies 

And way along the side 

Flag flying near one of the outside bar areas 

Think this gull was planning on hitching a ride 

A couple of soda's to quench our thirst....we had a drink package which included soft drink and some alcohol 

Woody was glad to be out of the bag and sitting with a nice view 

He  rather likes my little moose which hangs from my backpack 

Goodbye Vancouver it sure was great seeing you 

Sailing out 

Shocker of me but guess we were relaxing lol 

The sea which we will see a lot.......10 nights Hawaii Cruise for us 

Our room, which will be the same for the 2nd cruise 

Me looking much better ready to have dinner 

Woody enjoyed his days out on the balcony 

He also looked for whales/dolphins often 

Looking towards the back from our balcony 

And to the front.....blue everywhere 

The weather was getting warmer so plaits were needed 

We were getting off for the day at Hilo, Hawaii......

And shop at Walmart we did.....a bit of fun 

Just check the size of the trucks/cars here 

Oh and with so many days at sea I borrowed this book from the ship library and sure was a good read 

Now able to get some snaps of Celebrity Solstice 

Huge ship 

While is Walmart saw these covers on various dvd's with a character Deadpool pretending he was part of them 

Even Edward Scissor-hands lol 

The bus which brought us over and back......

Back on the ship we went for the next stop
