We spent the day at sea enjoying life onboard National Geographic Orion. Leaving Norfolk Island and the tropics in our wake, we steered a course 137.5 degrees to the south, destination- Aotearoa.

We were entertained by the onboard facilities, enjoyed a scrumptious brunch, and a surprise Fruhschoppen (sausages, pretzels, and pints). We were also regaled with information from the natural history staff about our upcoming destination, the land of the long white cloud, New Zealand.
