Yay, We’re Here! (and our butts hurt)

After a 13+ hour plane ride, the title of this post should be obvious. We arrived in Auckland at 5:00 am, picked up our bags, cleared customs and got our rental car. It didn’t feel like we were in a foreign country, until we got to the car. Greg tosses me the keys and says, “Here, warm up the car.” I walk over to the left-side of the car, open the door and…there’s no steering wheel.

Oh yeah! The driver’s side is on the right-side in New Zealand. And they drive on the left-side of the road. Hmmm…driving on the wrong side of the road and the right-side of the car is gonna be interesting. We (Greg) only drove on the wrong side of the road once on our way into Auckland. =)
