Raining day at Port Chalmers, New Zealand 2019/Carlos Pueblo
It was a raining day when we docked at Port Chalmers and I was limited to walk a few blocks along the town center, George Street, Wickliffe Terrace and turned immediately to Currie Street to go back to the poet hall through Grey Street. I still managed the small umbrella and two cameras for some flowers pictures.
It was also chilly and windy very miserable. I didn't know if there were many passengers taking buses to the near city Dunedin. I can have a view that city on the view bridge at the rhododendron park off the Church Street. I still remember the joy of hiking several places of the small town before.
I was a substitute guest for a dinner with an officer, Marian Olteanu the 1st Hotel Engineer. He says that he can't drive the vessel; therefore, he can't be promoted to a captain position. He is in charge of the ship's air conditioning system. We, another came back couple, had had a very enjoyable dinner conversation and even had a photographer taking our picture together. He gave us a copy for memory as well as a nice small chocolate box delivered to my room on the next morning.
We were sailing through three fiourds down to the southeast coast of the South Island on the next morning. It was clearly scheduled when to arrive and leave and that would be the final visit of New Zealand of this back to back cruise.
