Calm after the storm

An interesting ferry trip today! I am not a poor traveller particularly although as mentioned a week or so ago, I do have a vomit phobia, so hearing that there were 6m swells on the Cook Strait did not fill me with joy! Sure enough our trip back from the North Island was a very 'rock & roll' affair. TeeJay and I headed for the upper deck bar (apparently higher up you are the better it is) and sat down. I continued to sit for the duration of the Strait crossing! Actually didn't feel too bad myself and everyone on our deck wasn't too bad either but I can pretty much guarantee there were some very sick people on that voyage! The swells were probably slightly less than 6m but not by much!

We pulled into the Sounds and all became calm. The sun had come out half way across and I braved the deck to take some shots. This was one of them.

We have had a great time with the kids. You couldn't have taken three better behaved, nicer kids away with you, but I am SOOOOOO glad to be back home. Well I will be once the house warms up - it currently feels like a freezer!
