Docking at Lyttelton, New Zealand
February 18, 1994
The mountains overlooking the harbor were steep and high, with some of the
mists and clouds beginning to come across them from behind us as we passed.
The mountains were covered with brownish grass, with patches of pine trees
(imported) bushes, the New Zealand cabbage trees (nothing to do with
cabbage), and dark green bushes and brush.

As we stood looking around, we saw a group of porpoises, very small
dolphin-like creatures, swimming alongside the ship in the opposite
direction. They seemed to be looking up at us as they swam along.

I found a lot of contrast in the scenery, and plenty of good-looking photo
scenes.
