New Zealand cooking leans on lamb, dairy and seafood, with green-lipped mussels, bluff oysters and crayfish featuring around the coast. Traffic drives on the left across the country, and hire cars are the usual way to travel on the larger islands, which suits a visit to a roadside store like this one. Small earthquakes are common because the country sits on the boundary of the Pacific and Australian tectonic plates, a detail that shapes travel planning for some visitors.
