Drive to the northernmost tip of New Zealand …1

This is the fourth time I've driven in New Zealand… so I had to find a new route that I hadn't been on before… This time I had to go to the northernmost part of New Zealand… which I couldn't find any travel reviews from friends in Thailand… The land called Northland… so I had to start setting everything up myself… I set the route myself… The fun and challenge began… with the destination being Cape Reinga Lighthouse… which I've been dreaming of seeing for a long time… but never got to… even though I've driven to New Zealand three times before.

The overall route is as follows:

I have successfully booked my visa and car rental with Apex through their online platform. I have consistently chosen Apex for my car rentals due to their status as a local New Zealand company offering excellent service at the most competitive prices. My journey will begin with an 11-hour flight on Thai Airways, arriving in Auckland.

This trip was a journey for two, a grandfather and his wife, as their son was unable to take time off from the hospital. The two grandparents found it to be a good challenge.

Upon arrival at Auckland Airport before noon, the rental car company was already waiting for us to take us to their office. The car pick-up process was completed within 10 minutes.

On my first day in Auckland, I had half a day and one night to spare, so I took the opportunity to visit the city's iconic One Tree Hill and the beautiful Botanic Gardens.

Driving in New Zealand is easy because they drive on the left side of the road, just like in Thailand. However, driving in a big city like Auckland at night can be quite difficult. It took me several tries to find my accommodation.

…Tonight, I'm staying in the big city of Auckland, at the Grand Central Apartment. This accommodation has quite a long history, as it was once an old train station that has been converted into a hotel.

Most visitors to New Zealand book accommodation with kitchens because they prefer to prepare their own meals. They bring their own spices and condiments from Thailand and purchase fresh ingredients locally for their wives to cook. This is more convenient and ensures that the food is to their liking.

After a satisfying meal, I took a short break before venturing out to capture the city's evening glow. I discovered that driving at dusk is more manageable due to the reduced traffic.

Wandering around taking pictures at night... Around ten o'clock, I went to bed to prepare for driving the next day...
