Unusual not going to Auckland or Tauranga but is going to Picton , a pretty town part of Marlborough about 1.75 hours from here..There is a supermarket or two in Picton hmm not the cheapest ones.

Instant give away. Could be worse the Welsh version has 4 vowels, Ieuan lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were given 20 minutes to explore on our own. Absolutely spectacular views. After that hat it was a ride around the circular route wit no additional stops. Personally I was rather disappointed with the tour and can not recommend it. Just a long boring bus ride Too bad the tour was a bust, looked like beautiful weather though. We've taken the Island Explorer free bus (still needed to pay Acadia entrance fee) and enjoyed Acadia at our own pace. Only thing, they don't go up Cadillac Mountain. Would definitely recommend it for next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea the second cruise is Sydney to New Zealand ending in Melbourne on Dec 23. We are probably staying in Sydney for New Years and have a cruise booked in January in Asia. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that’s inflation but prolly still worth it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that only one of you would need to purchase it if you always go together. I've had one for years, and it permits you to take a certain number of guests in with you (can't remember the number). You have a wealth of beautiful parks available to you out west! Sorry your tour of Acadia wasn't the best, but you did get good weather for the view. Many times the view is fogged in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Jim_Iain Posted June 25, 2019 Author #825 Share Posted June 25, 2019 After the cruise the boat operator gave great advise on where to and where not to buy lunch. The Spirit of Massachusetts was top of his list and steps from our tour boat. Huge Lobster Roll and French Fries with a yummy Garlic Aioli sauce. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
