Izzys 70th Birthday, Our 17th Anniversary

View from Out in the Styx - gateway to Maungatautari eco reserve. http://www.styx.co.nz/index.htm  We took the evening guided hike with Michael and Marjie Kaplan.  Had the best view of the Southern Cross in the clear night sky.

For Izzy's birthday weekend and our anniversary, we went to Auckland and stayed at the Hilton Hotel right on the pier.  Our room, which had a large deck, was less than 50 feet from the Dawn Princess.   We felt like we were a cruise.
