Fiordland & Dunedin

Hi all.
First Blog for a while.Been at sea for a while.Fiordland was beautiful with som stunning landscapes.Just back from Dunedin which has a Scottish flavour to it.Did not know that Dunedin is Gaelic for Edinburgh.
Street names such as Princess Street,George Street etc.Had a Bus tour of the city & then a tour of Speights Brewery. There is even some Pipers by the Ship.

Princess Cruise

Arrived on the Cruise ship yesterday.Ship really nice with a nice Cabin.
Just relaxing for the next two days until we get to Fjordland National Park

Had a really good day today.
First on the agenda was an open top bus tour of Sydney.Sydney is a lot smaller than i imagined.Bus tour took about 90 mins.Well worth it with some great views.

Next was a tour of Sydney Cricket Ground.This was superb and being a Cricket nut this was a must for me to see.Took loads of pictures and they even let us onto the the outfield which i thought was excellent.The ground is a work of art with the old stands blending in with the new ones.

Next after the mecca of Cricket was a Dinner cruise around Sydney Harbour.Lovely meal was had with some stunning views as the sun went down.
