>Mike, you can drive these days but (as you know) it's one of the wettest places in the world, the roads are windy and it's not a good time to be learning to drive on the correct rather than the right side of the road!

Thanks for the update. OK, so my knowledge of NZ is 20 years out of date <g>. It would be great to get back. I was very fortunate before, went both times on business so it was paid for.
