We have friends who live on the North Island. They picked us up in Auckland and we spent two days with them. Then we flew down to Queenstown and rented a car. We drove up to Picton and took the ferry to North Island.
Our friends met us in Wellington and loaned us their car, then took the train home to Hamilton. We drove the North Island up to the Coromandel Peninsula. From there we rejoined them and they took us back to Auckland.
My secret for driving on the left: Everytime I got behind the wheel I just started chanting "left, left, left, left, left, left, left!" LOL!
Incidentally, we met our Kiwi friends when we drove to Alaska in 2016. They were camping next to us in a Walmart parking lot in Whitehorse, Yukon territory.
