Cruise ship in Tauranga today

[onlyslightlymad]

Not actually the first ship of the season but I was greeted by the sight of Royal Princess in port today and thought I'd share.  I do apologise for the terrible photo, I should have taken it a bit closer and not waited till I got home.

It's such a beautiful day to be in port, though, so I thought I'd still share.

Awesome photo and view from your home, summer must be on its way ☀

Should go down and say hi to some people, offer a tour of the town for a few dollar bucks.

Hope it is as nice a day when we arrive on the Royal in January from our 28th Dec cruise

Right, still don't know what it is,

Lepoes?, geckoes? Schlepoes?  Pantyhose?

Nice to have access to it.  It looks tropical.

Mostly natives and grasses.  It is nice and the dogs enjoy it.  We do have a semi-tropical garden, though.  I'll take a photo for you today (better than the last one).  Unfortunately, the plaster surface of our pool is deteriorating and it has gone a spectacular shade of vibrant green.  Something else to deal with before Christmas.

I get it now, that is very derogatory,

Yank is bad enough as it passes off half their population to start with.

Correct, and even though we have a little playground, it is also a US site.
