Thursday evening - 8:12 p.m. which is Thursday 1:12 a.m. in Idaho.
Just a final note about New Zealand. We have never met so many wonderful people, ever. These folks are nice. They are laid back. They don't get in a hurry, but they are happy and smiling and kind. They treat everyone with respect. That's the stereotype we have attached to the people of New Zealand and we believe that as a whole, it is a correct one.
People in New Zealand do not expect to be tipped for doing their job. Taxes are built in to the prices. You pay the price you see. You don't tip the Kiwi who pumps the gas into your car. You say please and thank you and they say "no worries" and "cheers".
The only downside is that after 11 days, I'm still not use to looking to the left to see the rear-view mirror and when coming to an intersection I still have a hard time looking the right direction to see if traffic is coming. At the first motel, even the hot and cold water was opposite of what we are use to having. And that is a personal problem, not a problem with the country.
This is a beautiful country with beautiful people. We are leaving a bit of our hearts with the Kiwis.
