Egad - had to get up early.. well, by a specific time anyway to be off the ship in time to meet friends of Lee's and catch a ferry to Waiheke Island. Ellen had arranged a private tour guide, Christine, who took us all over the island, which was like a dream version of Rottnest (in that Auckland is a bit like Perth). We dropped by an art gallery, had wine and olive tastings at two small wineries and lunch at a restaurant with an amazing view. Indeed the island seems as though it was deliberately made to have a maximum possible number and quality of amazing vistas and bathing bays. Good food and I had a shot of slivovitz to boot!
Returned via the ferry and had a brief wander around central Auckland then back to the ship for a show and dinner.
