Left Tokoroa this morning around 7am and off to Auckland. Went to Karon and Freds and then to Montego to collect furniture from granny flat. Karon and Fred drove us to city to board the ship for the start of the cruise. Departed Auckland on time at 4pm on the Pacific Pearl. This is a much larger ship than the Pacific Sun. By the time we had moved around the ship we had met up with 6 people we know.
