Wednesday Feb 26 Wellington New Zealand. We walked in the footsteps of Lord of the Rings. We had breakfast at la veranda. We had dinner at Sette Mari at La Veranda. Lord of the rings consisted of a tour of Miramar studios and a walk through the woods on Mt. Victoria. It was quite disappointing. I broke a nail while watching the dolphins dance in the water in front of the ship. Our ship sailed between the North and South Island of New Zealand. Stacey, our daughter, had to have an emergency appendectomy….and of course…. we were not home.
