Almost over … the last days are always bittersweet. Grateful for this immense privilege of travel, missing home but also sad to leave this beautiful place. Just ahead of- 23 hours of travel. Ugh.

HOBBITON! This was the highlight of a very highlight-y cruise so far. It really made the Shire in the movies come to life. I’ll post more pics as we gather them - we took about 1000! Ellen Watson Gigliotti Pete Gigliotti

We’re in Wellington, New Zealand. Had a lovely low-key day shopping and wandering - then took a nap onboard. Tonight, after a lovely dinner of beef Wellington, I decided to try cognac for the first time. I think it’s obvious - not my favorite! lol. 🇳🇿

This is not the area of Hobbiton in NZ, but it looks like I always envisioned it! Coming into Port Chalmers, near Dunedin. Albatrosses on our left but too hard to see!
