AUCKLAND New Zealand Travel | What to See and Do

[@zhou_kaw]

New Zealand🇳🇿-- A noble little UK. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@FrugalTravellers]

Haha. Yes, so noble 😍

[@zhou_kaw]

Wellington, Christchurch, Queenstown and the Southern Alps are even more beautiful. The pastoral life in Queenstown is comfortable and healing.

[@FrugalTravellers]

Yes NZ has so many beautiful places outside of Auckland. Hopefully we get to feature them one day. 🙏😁

[@richardcaldwell9160]

Lovely video, Thank you x

[@FrugalTravellers]

@@richardcaldwell9160 Thank you so much for your lovely comment 🙏🤗 We're so pleased you enjoyed this video, and that you took the time to share this great feedback. It really means so much to Lee and I xx

[@kueifengtung]

Appreciate the tour, will help with planning when I visit soon. Would be nice to get some more info on day trips

[@FrugalTravellers]

I'm so glad the video was helpful, and I totally agree, Auckland has some amazing day trips! Hopefully we can make more Auckland videos when we're back there in January.

[@PlanetImo]

Love the public piano.

[@FrugalTravellers]

Isn't it so cool 🤗😁

[@carolinacadabra8278]

Thanks for this! I didn’t get to see as much of Auckland as I wanted as I stayed with friends on Waiheke Island (which was also wonderful).

[@FrugalTravellers]

You are most welcome. Waiheke is really lovely and has a great vibe. A lovely mixture of rural life with access to the city. ❤️

Great to relive my travels there from 2008 - as Mandy said, there have been some changes but somethings were the same. I'd love to go back, I think NZ has been my favourite travel destination so far - I really liked it around Taupo, and also liked Wellington and Auckland

[@FrugalTravellers]

It's great that you still feel that way about NZ. It certainly has it's charms. I like the laid back easy going attitude of the people. Many visitors ignore the North Island and just head to the dramatic South. So glad you enjoyed it and I hope you get to visit again one day. 😊 Lee 👍

Auckland New Zealand is on my travel list. I will need to save up a lot for this trip. Auckland has beautiful buildings (train station, theater, town hall, etc...). Thank you for sharing the YHA hostel, it is a good price. Mandy's and Lee's food looks good! Mandy's soup was piping hot (I like that).😋 Thank you for sharing Queens Court Food Court. The food is much more expensive than in Thailand. Chilli is good for the heart. 🙂😋 I love the library! Thank you for sharing the tips and places to see. ❤

[@FrugalTravellers]

We are so happy that you enjoyed this video, Sue. Thank you so much for your wonderful comment, and the tip about chilli being good for the heart 🙏❤ Sending you a big hug from New Zealand 🤗🥰 ~ Mandy

[@pocahoetaz]

It's hard for me to attend premieres now but I always catch up later, thx for another interesting video, hope you two are doing well☺

[@FrugalTravellers]

Hello Pocahoetaz! Please know that we always love hearing from you, regardless of whether or not you make the Premiere 😁😀 We are both well, thank you, and are looking forward to reuniting in Portugal in February 🤗🥰

[@lucchese20]

Hello L&M- I certainly share many of Lee’s characteristics…”Yes, was there about 9 years ago-wait a minute, it was more like 20 years ago!!” 😅 Time certainly flies. We visited Auckland 3 or 4 times but I’m afraid to guess how long ago was our last trip. 😅 Buses look new. I recall each driver had a huge wooden(?) tray to make all kinds of change + ticket sales. No plugs back then. Also recall Queen Street, Aquarium w/penguins, train station (w/o Post Office) and Sky Tower-which did NOT jump off of. Next time maybe? 😅 BTW-Mandy looks great. Bast of health to her. 👍🏻

[@FrugalTravellers]

Haha. 😂😂. Time does seem to fly by faster the older you get. It's all perception I suppose. It all seems like yesterday. 🤣 Auckland hasn't changed too much in the centre. I loved visiting the aquarium when I first arrived but haven't been for years. The museum as well is a beautiful place in a lovely location. ❤️ Mandy is doing really well thanks 🙏

[@PlanetImo]

Ooohh interesting to see the bilingualism on the signs. It's like in Wales :)

[@FrugalTravellers]

Yes it's very prevalent in NZ. You can soon pick up some Maori words. The hardest part is the pronunciation.

[@FoodKC125]

Love your video ❤

[@FrugalTravellers]

Thank you so much 🙏

[@Stephanie-nj8jt]

As a frugal traveler myself I was curious how much the cost on the whale and dolphin trip was

[@FrugalTravellers]

Here's a link to their website. We went years ago and it was great fun. whalewatchingauckland.com/tour-details/

[@serendipity2064]

Hope you’re doing well Mandy

[@FrugalTravellers]

Thank you so much for your very kind concern. I'll be posting videos from my Journey to Wellness series over the next few weeks, which will explain everything. This is the link to the playlist 🤗😁 kzbin.info/aero/PLCmNbKU5iMrlOvGhh0vS_FBVmplwc-hvD&si=z_9qKxQ2xcgi11IM

Lovely May God bless Peetu in Auckland

[@FrugalTravellers]

Thank you so much 🙏😍

[@PlanetImo]

I think I might give jumping off Robbie the Robot a miss. I presume you meant absailingy jumping Ha ha!

[@FrugalTravellers]

Haha 😂 Yes they attach you to a cable and it's a controlled descent. I should have mentioned that. 😂 I still couldn't get Mandy to do it in a thousand years. 😊

[@PlanetImo]

@@FrugalTravellers or me either!

[@Stevonthemove]

Did you say its april at the moment?.....

[@FrugalTravellers]

Well spotted, Steve. This was last year, on our first trip home to New Zealand in 4 years.

Hello YES ALBANIA

[@FrugalTravellers]

We love Albania. Berat especially ❤️

[@Stephanie-nj8jt]

Does each person need a hop card or can you pay for 2 person transport w one card?

[@ChantalTV]

you can pay for a second person on one card

[@FrugalTravellers]

Hello Stephanie. That's a great question, and one we didn't ask as had 2 cards. Apparently two people can use 1 card but the second person won't get the discount... or that's what I've just been told. Check the Auckland Transport website for full information. ~ Mandy

[@ChantalTV]

The second person pays for a one way ticket, which is for one zone 4 dollars and it will come out of the money on the ATHop card@@FrugalTravellers

[@donnybrascocoliogne819]

Alot of tourist who only stay in Auckland and returns home says some positive and yet negative comments about N.Z 😂😂😂😂 NOTE: Want to see the REAL New Zealand laid back lifestyle, get out of Auckland and make effort to see the rest of the Country. ❤🇳🇿❤

[@FrugalTravellers]

It's so interesting you should say that, Donny, as one of our latest videos shows our NZ off-grid hut life 🙏🤗 kzbin.info/www/bejne/mnvVoqppqNaonNk
