Tuesday, 1st June 2010 - Hello New Zealand

As we make our descent there is a blanket of cloud. But as we make our way below the clouds. Wow. It is spectacular. The views are amazing. It is so green and beautiful. First impression is I love the place. As we descend further you cannot help bit notice that it must rain loads here. There are puddles everywhere visible from the sky. The landscape is the epithesis of Australia. And I love it.

The first you notice when land is how NOT cold it is. It is nice. Not sunbathing weather but remember it is winter here. But I am very surprised and pleased not to have to layer up.

After collecting my bag and making it through customs and immigration I go and grab my hire car. Now they drive on the same side of the road which is good. Bit they have a funny road rule. When turning left, you have to give way to those turning right into the road. Bizarre. Oh and FYI you do not legally require car insurance.

First things first I need to find somewhere to stay tonight. After bit of a search I found a decent motel and booked myself in for two nights. Time has ticked on so after a brief visit to the CBD and grabbing a bite to ear I headed to bed ready for a busy day tomorrow.
