We set out to see "the Top Half" of New Zealand today in our spankin' new Ford Explorer. I was pretty stressed about driving on the right side - and in the left lane - for the 1st time. Someone say a Maori prayer for me... Luckily, my navigator kept reminding me about the left lane thing. We arrived at Rotorua unscathed after only about 3 hours on the road, mostly on Motorway #1.
