Happy 303 Day!
Days 58-61: Australia! Melbourne, Penguins
Day 58 – Christchurch, New Zealand to Melbourne, Australia Our plane (Qantas) from Christchurch to Melbourne was way too hot and crowded (fully booked, tiny seats). He was supposed to have a window, but it was that one weird spot where not only was there not a window, the spot where it should be jutted…
Days 54-57: Fox Glacier, Greymouth, Christchurch II
Day 54 – Queenstown to Fox Glacier Our drive from Queenstown to Fox Glacier was another cloudy and gray one. After we checked in, we drove the 20 minutes over to the view point of Fox Glacier. It was about as womp-womp as we expected. Be it tiny, the town has a few places for…

Days 32-35: Nuku’alofa, Holiday Sea, Sea, Sea
Day 32: Nuku’alofa, Tonga We slept through docking…but it didn’t feel like we were docked. We were perched parallel to the shore and not in the (shallow) bay. Ocean waves are hitting the side of the boat and “shattering” it pretty hard. It was honestly rougher than the previous few days of passage. He made…
