Day Five- Rotarua-Auckland-Cruiseship, New Zealand

We drove back from Rotarua to Auckland today.  We had planned to return the rental van and then take a ferry over to another area of Auckland but when we got there it was just about time for the All Black's celebration parade and we realized that if we didn't get the car in right then we would probably never get it through the crowds in the area where we needed to go.  Todd and David took the car back and the rest of us headed to the Volendam and got ready to begin our wonderful cruise.

I took this picture looking at the Sky Tower that we had visited a few days before.

This big balloon was up for the All Black parade.

I had to have a picture of the color of the water below the boat.  It looked like someone had colored it a perfect blue.
