Berthing Queen Mary 2 in Auckland

By chance I looked at the cruise ship time table two days ahead of the arrival of the Queen Mary 2. When I arrived about 06:40 am NZ Summer Time on Mt.Victoria, she could already be seen coming down the Hauraki Gulf, but I managed to set up my Olympus SZ-30MR on the tripod as she got big enough for the 24x zoom. The berthing of large ships is usually lengthy, and I caught that as well. She was berthed at 08:04 am.
