We had an amazing trip on the top deck with Captain Sarah- a move of information and such a great sense of humour. The crew were also a fabulous team - we forgot to get a muffin! A grand finale to our NZ trip. Thank you all so much. Ps thanks for the tip about the Huka Falls- we would have missed that!
