The Fiords and Last Night Dinner

Hi Girlies,

Yesterday our ship went through Fiordland, NZ’s largest National Park.  We sailed through three sounds: Dusky Sound, Doubtful Sound, and Milford Sound, they were all sooooo beautiful.  When we entered Dusky Sound at 8am it was cloudy, but it was still pretty.

Later the sun started to come out.  The channel through all the sounds is very narrow.  Our Captain did a good job driving the ship.

I love this picture looking behind the ship.  You can see the smoke from the ship’s smoke stack.

This picture is the end of Milford Sound.  The ship turned around here to go back to the ocean.

I took a picture of this pretty girl in Milford Sound.  Milford Sound has lots and lots of waterfalls.

The ship got really close to this waterfall, we could feel the mist from the falls.  All the people in this picture are from the ship’s crew.  They have an area in front of the ship just for them.  They even have their own small swimming pool, you can see it in this picture.

After our day sailing the fiords, we went to dinner in the ship’s Italian restaurant, Prego.  Nana wore this pretty black dress for the first time.

We had a wonderful dinner.  Nana started with the beef carpaccio, Gpa had the crab salad.

Next we both had the Caprese salad.

And then we both had this awesome veal chop, oh was it good!

It came with saffron risotto.  It was good but Nana said Gpa’s chessy rice is better :).

We both had a cappuccino for desert, we had no room for anything else.  It was one of the best dinners we have had on the cruise.

So now we have two days until we arrive in Sydney, Australia.  We will have a busy day there.  Gpa is climbing the Sydney Harbor Bridge (www.bridgeclimb.com).  While Gpa is doing the climb, Nana is going on a harbor cruise with our friend Elaine.  In the evening we are going to the Sydney Opera house to see Madame Butterfly.  It should be a fun day.  BTW, check the other blog for more pictures of the fiords, Nana will be posting there later today.

That’s all for now.  We love you and miss you.

Gpa and Nanoo
