Driving on the Left

Hello New Zealand! We are here and on the move! We purchased a 1990 Mitsubishi Lancer from a charming mechanic up in Auckland and are just outside of Wellington at the moment (there is a map link on the side for reference).



Driving on the left is definately an adventure all in itself. The most difficult things so far are getting in the right side to drive and using the windshield wiper control instead of the turn signal. Lack of road signs and washout complicates things as well but don't worry Mom, we are doing just fine!


The drive down is beautiful. Everything is so green and covered in sheep and cows. It was definately scenic, especially since we keep missing cleverly hidden road signs.


We are making our way up to Castlepoint Station this afternoon with some side trips to various Lord of the Rings filming sights. They are on the way and we just can't resist. We will arrive at the sheep farm tonight and start docking some sheep tomorrow! (Steve will dock anyways, I will vaccinate).
