• Driving on the left side

    November 13, 2025 in New Zealand ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C

    The day before we got to know driving on the left side of the road. Worst part was driving through Auckland, where even with navigation it was really confusing. Turning on the windshield wiper instead of the direction indicator is one thing that happened a lot yesterday. At each turn checking on which side to drive on the next road. Crossing a lane on the right turn.

    Highlights:
    My parents got pulled over by the police, driving to slow on the highway, but at least on the right side

    Whangārei Falls: small beautiful loop
    Hundertwasser memorial park: a spontaneous stop in Kawakawa to see this colourful and unusual building design.

    Bay of Islands: drinking a beer in the oldest Pub of New Zealand. A short walk to a beautiful lookout.

    An amazing dinner with my host family I stayed with 2 years ago.
