Thrilling Windy Drive on New Zealand's SH1 | Scenic Views & Epic Adventure

(Edited)

For most part of last week, I was off the hook to drive, so I didn't travel to Picton with my vehicle because it had a crack on the windscreen that required the windscreen to be replaced.

So I shared a vehicle with my colleague and what I like about that is I didn't drive, the other thing I hate about it is I was needing some tools and miscellaneous stuff on site so generally it never favors me leaving my vehicle behind but what favored me was being in the passenger seat taking photos and videos 📹 😊

The drive between getting out of Kaikoura and towards Cheviot is absolutely thrilling. I don't enjoy it if I am the one driving, especially when towing a trailer, but this time, I enjoyed the windy drive as I got the opportunity to record videos and take photos.

Judging by the photos I have shared, you can tell I was just having fun while my colleague had to focus on the road.

I love NZ for its beauty, but the windy roads are a challenge that sometimes makes me feel like I am spinning because the moment you're out of a curve, you drive straight into the next curve. The curves come very fast, and you've got to handle them quickly and cautiously.

Driving in NZ in my first few months in the country was difficult to focus in the road and not look around the beautiful landscape.
The views are certainly pleasing to the eyes.

It sure would… 😁
The only thing I wouldn’t like is driving on the wrong side hahaha 🤣 I couldn’t get used to it in England and Ireland. Still it worked out. I am so happy to drive correct now.

It’s great to see. Like you are there along the road.
You are welcome, thanks Joe

That is something am not looking forward to, to drive in Benin or Nigeria. Luckily for me South Africa and New Zealand drive on the left so I didn't struggle, I only struggled with 30km/h in the city center but now am used to it lol.

You can imagine me on my new days on these windy roads of NZ, I was known as a slow driver and before the end of last year I got a speeding fine 🤣🤣

I can imagine…
You can get used to a lot of things, luckily you did already get used to it. !LOL

Hahaha really. Oh my.
The same here with driving on ice and snow. Once you get the hang of it…
Do drive safely on the twisty turny roads.
Good morning to you Joe

I know lol it is touch tackling the windy roads. It is exhausting lol, I enjoy it if the road is straight.
Thank you, I try to always be careful on the road.
