On our way back to the South Island we stopped in Lake Taupo again, had a little car trouble but managed to work it out. We went back to Wellington for a night and came across an amazing display of original photos near our hotel and right on the water front. Here is a link if you're interested at all in Photography. His books are also fabulous. http://www.yannarthusbertrand.com/yann2/affichage.php?reference=TVDC%20116&pais=France
We then caught the ferry again the next morning. Debbi was smart and took some dramamine. She ended up asleep with no motion sickness. I decided to join Andy and Phil at the front of the boat to see the 8 to 10 foot waves, which made me green and yes, give up my breakfast in a small white bag. After that, I managed to get some dramamine and make myself comfortable. We then made it down to Pancake Rocks or Punakaiki. The rocks are layers of water sculpted limestone, as you can see resemble stacks of pancakes. There are also geysers which add some action from the Tazman Sea through the blowholes in the rocks.
