| The dye doing its magic while I wait |
Yesterday the Maasdam was supposed to have had a day of scenic cruising toward and around White Island before heading on to Auckland. With the bad weather forecast, the Captain decided it would be best to miss out on White Island and arrive in Auckland a day early - to be safe rather than sorry.
I had hoped for a bit of a lie-in in the morning but got a call at 8am to help Shore Excursions with brochure folding but it didn't matter. It was nice to help out and make myself useful and more so because didn't want to go outside of the ship - it was pretty cold and miserable.

Last night we dinner with Barry (Piano Bar Entertainer) and Christina (from the shops). We were all pretty full after the delicious meal. Paul and I were going to relax for the rest of the evening but we decided to see Barry's last show at the piano bar. It made for a lovely and lively evening.
Today it has been raining and pretty miserable outside. The ship has been lashed to the pier with extra ropes. Despite the rain, I joined Christina and Barry when they went out for coffee to Starbucks. Barry had to then get back to get ready to leave the ship - heading on to his next assignment. We wish him all the very best!

Just after lunch I was one of Bowen's guinea pigs for an acupuncture demonstration. Being a turn around day there were visitors arriving on board so it was nice for them to see what the spa area had to offer in the way of treatments and relaxation. I nearly fell asleep during my acupuncture session.
Soon afterwards Paul and I went to the salon and our hair cut and dyed by Predrag. Predrag did a good job and we had a good laugh throughout the session - seeing the hair changing colours from a purple paste to the end result. Christina, in the meantime, treated herself to a pedicure and having her toenails polished. I hope what visitors saw will draw in potential clients to the spa.
Paul and I had to pack - we are leaving the shop tomorrow. After that Christina joined us for dinner in the cabin and we later watched a couple of episodes of a t.v. programme 'Bizarre ER that Paul had taped onto a hard drive.

| Heading to Tauranga |
Time is marching on it's time to head to bed. The Maasdam is starting her voyage to Australia with our next port being Tauranga tomorrow. And tomorrow we will say farewell to the crew as Paul starts his holidays.
