About

The Lead Balloon maintains a Facebook page at https://facebook.com/theleadballoon/ for those who want to look it up before visiting. Traffic drives on the left across New Zealand, and hire cars are the usual way to travel on the larger islands, which is worth knowing for anyone planning a wider trip.
