If you have not visited New Zealand, and plan to do so, then one place you should visit is Mt Cook in South Island. A self-drive tour is a great way to do that.

Kiwis are disciplined drivers. The speed limit within town is 50km/h; outside the city, it progresses from 70km/h or 80km/h, to 100km/h on the highways. Daredevils, beware! Exceeding the speed limit means trouble. The traffic police are waiting just around the corner.
