Joining our cruise in New Zealand was Dr Charles Lineweaver, a guest lecturer whose specialties include exoplanetology and cosmobiology. (Can’t say I know what either of them is, but I’ll consult Dr Google.) Anyway, Vann and I were on our balcony last night and noticed a strange beam of light shooting across the sky. He went up to the top deck to investigate and found Dr Lineweaver there with a group of stargazers getting a tour of the heavens on a clear night. Since arriving in the Southern Hemisphere, we have been looking for the Southern Cross (aka Crux) and there it was! One more thing checked off our list!
Today is the last of our sea days as we head for Australia, arriving in Sydney tomorrow for a 2-day stay. We’re having a smooth ride across the Tasman Sea, which we understand is not always the case.
More from The Land Downunder!
