Day 49: Low Key, Sea Day, Manfredi’s

We are steaming our way towards Melbourne, Australia. We avoided a huge storm, but missed (Milford/Doubtful Sounds) which people say is beautiful. But due to the stormy weather there it was a good choice.

Breakfast at the World Cafe, A lecture by Russell & Gail Lee on the importance of the wool industry was amazing and informative. A bit of reading and a long needed nap was on the agenda. While Donna got in her 10,000 steps, Paul got in his 10,000 winks with a nap.

The highlight meal of the day was 8:00pm at Manfredi’s - photos of the various servings shown. As always the meal was excellent. In Auckland they stocked up on Tommasi,Pinot Grigio, Donna was happy to have her favorite dinner wine. We both just really like the flavor.

Amaretto over vanilla gelato completed the evening meal and a low key sea day.Read more
