[QUOTE="my2cents, post: 259452, member: 1287"] [b]Re: Around the world with Traveller[/b] Traveler, Did your cruise ship pass by White Island? I'm looking at that as a possible day trip when I start working on my NZ itinerary. I had no problems adjusting to right-hand drive, although I was in Australia for a while before I hopped into a rental car. I also drove right-hand drive cars while I was stationed in the U.K. from my military days. The only thing which threw me off was the signal indicators and wipers being on opposite sides. On my first rental day, I kept turning on the wipers instead of the turn signals. Whenever I finally get to NZ, I'll probably rent a car for North Island and pick up another rental when I reach South Island. I've read breaking into cars is a problem in some areas, especially where trail heads are for tramping (hiking). I guess I'll have to take a shuttle bus to reach those areas and park the car in a secure lot. New Zealand is definitely adventure land. Whoever is into bungee jumping, sky diving, white water rafting, speed boating, etc., should find themselves in heaven. I'm content with tramping and kayaking, although I'll probably have a go at activities like caving and zorbing. [/QUOTE]
