Guess what! I think we are going to rent a car here. We are both pretty excited because it will be SO much freedom… we can go where we want, when we want. It’s awesome. Tons of backpackers rent or buy cars here so it is very easy.

The only problem was that neither of us had a driver’s license. Mine was stolen/lost with my wallet at JFK airport, and Jim just didn’t bring his. But he called the DMV and they faxed his driving record. I couldn’t believe the DMV figured that out. Even faxed it to the long, weird NZ fax number.

So it looks like all is well and we get the car + insurance for NZ$25 a day. It’s pretty exciting, I just hope Jim can remember to stay on the left side of the road. Ha ha.
