I must say it's rather impressive how successfully you guys navigated the pronunciation of New Zealand place names, and it's clear that you did some research at some point because you don't fall into any of the traps with stress placement that most visitors do. Almost every video I watch of American visitors will include them saying "wa-NA-ka" (and "ku-MA-ra"), but you guys correctly put the stress on the first syllable, which the Pākehā pronunciation does to emulate the Māori long vowel (Wānaka). And often your pronunciation was more accurate to the Māori pronunciation than most Kiwis can manage, so your care and effort is definitely noticed and appreciated. ❤ I'm also super glad that you guys got to check out Te Papa, which most people ignore because they assume it'll just be your typical snooze-fest museum exhibiting all its stolen artefacts, but Te Papa is truly unlike any other museum and emphasises making its educational value as accessible as possible, which it does in partnership with local indigenous groups. Hopefully more people will be inspired by your video to make the stop in Wellington at least for Te Papa (which admittedly, doesn't have a whole lot else on offer), rather than just skipping over it on their way to or from the ferry. 🙏

Funny, I was at first confused about the use of the word 'kiwi". Yes indeed, you wonderful people in this awesome place call yourselves kiwi's + the word also refers the the kiwi bird + the word also refers to the kiwi fruit.

We went to Lake Taupo area of NZ for our honeymoon the first week of October knowing it would be early spring. We packed a lot of shorts, t’s and tanks as we were heading to Australia next. The weather forecast was fair but when we got there, BRRRRRRR. We learned a bit of a lesson with our budgeting especially since we had a tight budget but Ike you said, we were halfway around the world. There was more to see than anticipated and we decided that we would do it all and sacrifice the small stuff like store bought beers and chips if it meant we could see and do cool stuff. We ate pasta for a few months when we got home but we have NEVER regretted it:)

Guys I loved every bit of this movie length vlog! I smiled (and at times giggled) through it because I could relate. It’s been years since my last visit and I long to travel there again. It’s so beautiful. My first was as a single young woman on one of those 3 week bus trips for young people…like Contiki, but it wasn’t Contiki. Then in 2007 for 3 weeks again in a motor home as a family of 5. Best family holiday ever! The first time was in March with relatively good weather. The second during the NSW (Australia) school holidays in October and the weather was similar to yours. Fortunately, I got lucky both times getting on a Milford sound cruise AND in fine weather as well. Looking forward to watching where you are heading next?

I really enjoyed this video for budget traveling and things to do in NZ. I definitely shared the Pic's peanut butter tour and the carrot park (hilarious) with my friend traveling there. So much great info from Bookme NZ, buying eggs from stands, the camping site 30-day passes, $3 steak, and learning about the redwood forest near Rotorua. I love the map that you have and how you show where you've driven each day. It's also cool how you tally up your daily expenses. I'm a stickler for that on trips too. It's awesome seeing you pronounce the Maori names of areas you visit. You do it so effortlessly. At least you're trying. Sorry you guys didn't get to go to Milford Sound. Bummer. But you guys made the most out of your lemons. They do tractor boat launches here in Alaska too. I haven't seen anywhere else that does it. Nice to do know the Abel Tasman has one too. Whew those gas prices in liters and NZD are cray cray! Seriously, I've taken so many notes and looked up stuff to do for my friend. Thanks bunches. At 32:45-33:35 - I really like that song. I couldn't find it on Shazam. If it's easy to find, what is the name of it? New sub.

Waiheke, Rangitoto, Rakino, and Kawau ~ and the super cool large 'hippie' Great Barrier Island aka 'Ayahuasca Island' more than 80kays east out into the Pacific from Auckland ~ and then to the upper north there is the AMAZING historic gum diggers Bay of Islands!! The Coromandel Peninsula historic gold mining area is also well worth visiting, including the Hot Water Beach . . where a hot water bathe in the wild sand is free, if you take along a spade..!

Stainless steel pans can be difficult but once you get how to use them they are freaking awesome. I’ve just bought a few. 1) pre-heat on max until a splash of water will bead around the pan. 2) turn down to medium. 3) add fats/oils then food. The pan basically can not be too hot or too cold otherwise things will burn/stick into the micro-crevices of the pan. Enjoy your no-stick pan without the chemicals of normal no-stick coatings. Clean with steel scourer if needed. Easy maintenance and last forever!

Hi, a real Kiwi here lol, I live just south of Taupo and lived in NZ all my life. I so enjoyed this video, both your characters are so positive and loveable. I gotta say you really copped some unsettled weather along a lot of your trip which is very typical for September and October here. The summer months make this country a very different place with all the lakes and beaches glistening in sunshine most days for 4 months. If you like the cooler temps but plenty of sunshine without winds come in the autumn, March and April when we have the most settled and calm sheer stunning days you will find anywhere. I wish you's lived here, you would fit right in.

I am 23 minutes in your video and for the last 5-10 of them I have been hoping for the decision you took. It brings me all the way back to 2007 when I took my family to do an epic Califonria drive from San Fransisco to San Diego to celebrate my 50th birthday (hey, now you van calculate my age). My kids were 7 and 10 and had been looking forward to the two-day Disneyworld visit. The first day I was in chock of all the added cost that came once being inside after paying a hefty entrance fee and my kids begging for buying pins, ice cream, quick pass and whatever. Stoic and budget conscious I said no to most of it. Not a fun day. Before falling asleep that night I took the decision. to go all in the next day, which we did. And it turned out to be one of the very best days of the trip. I salute you for your decision and I have just now increased our budget a few steps up for the upcoming 5 week trip to NZ in March next year. But for now I will continue to enjoy your video - well done!

Thanks for sharing your journey! I visited New Zealand twice ( 3 months each trip). First time in 2012 I bus toured (bus pass) mostly on the north island. I've got friends who live on the South Island in Christchurch so I spent Christmas with them. I loved the south island much more so I decided to come back at the end of 2019 and left just before the pandemic of 2020. Second trip I bought a small van and did vanlife for 3 months. This is the BEST way to travel in New Zealand by far, so much freedom! Cost was not too much since I had bought the van and sold it to my friend when I left. Favorite places south.... Mt. Cook area, Arthur's Pass, Abel Tasman, Nelson, west coast. I did see Milford Sound both trips but honestly wasn't that impressed (price was waaaay too much $$$!). Favorite place north... Coromandel Peninsula, some really beautiful scenery!

The inverter is not a battery to battery charger. The inverter changes the battery DC to AC for use with AC appliances. Some habitation appliances such the lights will almost certainly be DC. The camper van may have a battery to battery connection that is DC to DC. The alternator charges the engine starter battery and that battery charges the habitation leisure battery.
