@cg984 thank you! We visited in late Marshall this year.

At 3,000m (Shangri-la and Mt Yulong mid plains) you feel shortness of breath and a little tightness between your temples. But nothing major. The oxygen bottles did help and advisable to carry at least one.

@@abdullahalnoman977 hi. We spent 6 days on this tour. Took a train from Kunming to Dali and hired a private car with driver to bring us through those areas.

Thank you! I don’t remember going at such a ludicrous speed in the camper. Could be due to inaccurate GPS reading

Glad it was of some help to your planning. I was using a DJI Mavic. The first version.

You are so kind

Thanks so much

Thank you for your kind words! For areas like Mount Cook and Tekapo, the surroundings are dark enough for you to see the stars with naked eyes but you will need a camera with long exposure to capture them properly. We booked for an astronomy tour in Tekapo but was cancelled due to poor weather - that was a missed opportunity as we heard good things about it .

@@uncaloke thank you so much for your prompt response. May i know which astronomy tour did u book pls? Thank goodness for your tips about campervan. I didnt know we need power sites to power on the car every 2 days! may i know based on your experience, was it hard to drive campervan in arthur's pass as it's our first time, and arthur's pass is on the 2nd day of the 22 days itinerary, same as yours too.

@@christinechan8081 it’s Crater Experience. You can refer to sn 13 on the google doc link for some more details. Driving the camper is relatively easy. We didn’t find any trouble with the roads in NZ. Are you using the camper for 22 days? It can get quite stale and cramped.

@@christinechan8081 I’ve some more videos on my channel covering the trip. Look for them under my channel video list.

@@uncaloke I am at your Part 3 :) Really love all your videos!! Super clear and the flow is really good! Kudos to all of you doing Roy's peak. I am not sure if we should do it, as i have also a P1 with me. Your daughter was also p1 then right? Oh yes, may i ask about 2 things pls: 1. your experience with sand flies. Which place do u rem was really bad? Any recommendation for repellent pls? 2. Do you all just wear normal sports shoes or those hiking boots? Thank you

Thanks! That's Lake Pukaki, near Mount Cook.

@@uncaloke thank you!

@@uncaloke interesting choice of route because usually people would do the other way (tekapo, mt cook, Queenstown, haast, franz). what made you took the route you chose? I'm asking because I'm planning for my trip in Oct and your video just make me super excited!

@@lesliekoh No special reason, other than to follow one of the itinerary from TripAdvisor. 😃 Oct would be nice, away from NZ school holidays, slightly chillier weather, better views at glaciers and Mt Cook.

@@uncaloke thank you for sharing! Gonna be following your itinerary for my trip!

Pls see if this will help -> www.tripadvisor.com.sg/ShowTopic-g255116-i729-k13173894-Trip_Report_South_Island_15_day_campervan-South_Island.html#105083116

I’ve compiled my itinerary here docs.google.com/document/d/1S0dcvQZm2fDiZ0snzPztVYFK-8oUsMO0z4cYR8LRMMI/edit?usp=sharing Hope this helps 😃

@@uncaloke Thank you very much! just saw your reply. We are booked for Nov :D

We spent S$20.5k in total, averaging about $4k per pax. The helicopter ride was worth the money though. Go for it!

@@uncaloke include air tickets? If purely expenses without air tickets then quite exp! Need to save uo bullets! 🤭

@@beeteelim218 Yes include air tix. We could have saved more time by eating out more often but overestimated our expenses and chose to be more conservative during the trip.

@@uncaloke $4k per pax that's about my budget but exclude the heli +skydiving experience. Think the campervan is quite pricey during their summer. Now waiting NZ to open for Sg!

Mount Cook, Lake Tekapo, Milford Sound, Castle Hill, FranzJosef

I’ve no complaints with Britz. Just be aware that the toilet in the camper drains water slowly when you shower so we hardly used it.
