My first destination was the thermal city of Rotorua, 234 kilometers (145 miles) from Auckland. I must admit that I was a bit nervous for the first few minutes of driving on the left side of the road, but within a short time I was navigating as confidently as the locals. It certainly helped that the highways and roads were well paved Cheap Paul George Shirt , mapped, and signed, and that the vast majority of drivers were courteous and law-abiding. I was thoroughly impressed with New Zealand so far and pleased that I had chosen to drive myself rather than hop aboard a tour bus.
