For people who are used to driving on the right side of the road, driving in New Zealand can be somewhat difficult at first. In addition New Zealand has some road rules, which are not present in Europe and other countries. In this article I am writing about important New Zealand road facts, which are a must to know for anyone driving in New Zealand.
Hitchhiking can be used in New Zealand as a method of free transportation. But since nothing is for free, here you will pay with your time, and certain non-flexibility. You will have to wait uncertain periods of time to catch a ride,
and thus it will be difficult for you to book activities, accommodation or anything else for a specific time.
Every tourist coming to New Zealad have to bring some gifts and memorabilia back home. But what can you bring, that will be a good reminder of New Zealand?
1. Scenic photography books.
New Zealand has a very beautiful nature, and there are many great photographers who make great coffee-table books, that you can watch through and recall your trip.

In my article about Whatipu Beach I said that swimming there is dangerous due to rip currents. I would like to explain more about what rip currents exactly are.
Rip Current
Rip current is a strong surface flow of water flowing from the shore to the sea. Rip currents are even more strong and dangerous during the low tide. Their typical flow is 0.5 meters per second, but sometimes they can reach 2.5 meters per second! Rip currents can occur at any beach with breaking waves.
