Pity the weather was so bad. You missed some incredible scenery...Maybe you'll see it on the way back.

[@BeingBedingfield]

Yeah, wasn’t great :( we went back via New Plymouth, spent a night there

[@scottdawson1607]

always love your enthusiasm and energy, and your enjoying our little country

[@BeingBedingfield]

Thanks so much for watching. We’re in awe of this beautiful country, especially after being to the South Island finally 🥰

[@csarries]

Can’t wait for your Wellington Experience❤

[@BeingBedingfield]

It’s going to be a bumper of an episode, even though we only had one day, we managed to fit in sooo much, can’t wait to share next week 😁 thanks for watching 😊

[@Explorcation]

Great start to a fun adventure! Even though the weather wasn't great, the view from that lookout was quite nice 😍

[@dirkcrafford5367]

Your Videos just gets better and better. They are very informative. Me and my Wife managed to do the move and we are in Auckland! You must give us a calendar heads-up so we can be in the right place at the right time to meet you guys!

[@BeingBedingfield]

Thanks so much Dirk, means a lot! Send us a DM on Instagram or Facebook and we can make a plan to meet for coffee 🤗

[@jozettebowes6538]

Thanks for this. My family and I are actually doing a road trip down to Wellington next week

[@BeingBedingfield]

Oh wow, perfect timing 😅 hope the video is helpful, we really enjoyed the drive 😊

[@celben8464]

Thanks for this guys. Brings back amazing memories! Thanks Craig for pronouncing Wellington correctly😅

[@BeingBedingfield]

Aw, thanks so much for watching!

[@dougruruku113]

Hey guys, what a roadie 😮, did you head back through SH4, left at Waiouru to National Park? The Desert road takes you around the eastern side of the Tongariro National Park, and SH4 the Western side. The Central Plateau is the heart of Volcanic activity in throughout the NI. Mount Ruapehu, Ngaruahoe, Tongariro and Pihanga make up the central plateau and on a beautiful clear day, Mount Taranaki can be seen out to the west. Loved watching this one, look forward to seeing the next one, 👍👋🍻

[@BeingBedingfield]

Yeah, we loved the roady! We came back via New Plymouth, spent one night there 😊

[@renatamortazavi2450]

What a beautiful, scenic road from Auckland to Wellington! 💖 Thank you for sharing with us your adventure.😘 You guys did an amazing job documenting this first stretch of your trip.👍👏 And your parents are so cute and look so happy.💕. Lots of love to both of you💖💖💖

[@BeingBedingfield]

Thanks so much Renata 💕

[@gracefulindeed6091]

Awesome to do this with your parents,enjoy.

[@BeingBedingfield]

Yes, it was incredible and we’re so grateful ☺️ thanks for watching!

[@A.K-nz]

Cool Banana's....Love Road tripping. Best way to see the country doing roadies if you are not in a hurry to get to your destination. Great to see you two taking the trip while the folks are here together.

[@BeingBedingfield]

It was amazing, and such a good way to see more of this beautiful country 🤗 would be awesome to do this stretch in a van and spend a few nights along the way at all the cool spots we saw 😌 Thanks so much for watching 😊

[@A.K-nz]

Just as for next time you go for the big, long Tiki-Tour....It is worth noting that for fuel it pays to check some of the Truck-Stops. (Where you see trucks filling up at stops where there are pumps no shop...Craig might know about them if he has used a company vehicle) check the petrol pump prices...You will be surprised how much cheaper you can get fuel for. You don't need a Oil Company fuel card, to use them just you bank card. When you travel down here to Welly. The Waitomo Fuel stop on the Main road is usually the cheapest down these ways...but levin at the Servos are usually your next best price for fuel. after that it gets more and more expensive all the way to Welly.@@BeingBedingfield

[@BeingBedingfield]

@@A.K-nzooh, thanks so much for the tip! I’m sure this will save us a lot in future! 🙏

[@PradeepKumar-ri5fv]

I love nzd imiss this tour❤

[@DWtrainsNZ]

I don't really know why but I always find it weird seeing my hometown and roads I regularly drive on on videos (I live in Levin). Seeing you driving up Cambridge St at 11:21 was weirddd haha. Will watch your Wellington video next, hopefully you will be traveling on some trains like you did up in Auckland.

[@richardcaldwell9160]

Great clip - I used to work @ the Akura Hotel, but it had a different name "Portland Towers" I hope the weather improves for you all !

[@BeingBedingfield]

As you saw on our latest video, the weather didn’t improve, but that was our last day of truly bad weather. So a lot more sunny videos coming up 😅

[@halgrynshaun]

Awesome trip, can already see I'm going to be jealous😊 Hope you two are doing well, lets catch up for a video call and wine/beer next weekend.

[@BeingBedingfield]

Thanks Shaun! It was an amazing trip! We definitely need to catch up!

[@jamesclark7266]

Looking 4ward to yr nxt Post.

[@BeingBedingfield]

Thanks so much James!

[@tasselhoff]

I was laughing to myself when you went through Hunterville that it would be funny if you ended up in Marton, I lived there for about 14 years!

[@MrShaggzie]

When you drove down desert road you actually drove thru NZ only desert. That’s why the terrain was different to everywhere else

[@BeingBedingfield]

It was so cool! Wish we stopped for a bit longer to take it all in!

[@karllewis1115]

Guys pls go to Lysol bay fish and chips called Seaview fish and chips, a blue and white building.Will be the best you ever had fainted 👍

[@BeingBedingfield]

Aw, we missed out on it, definitely adding it to our list for next time, thanks for the heads up 🤗

[@robertcarr4172]

My wifes family also loves to take boiled eggs on road trips. Whenever anyone opens the lunchbox, it is traumatic 😂

[@user-bk4pu9mx2w]

l have to ask with you living in Auckland have you gone to the Synthony show in Auckland domain back in February, it's amazing you would love it

[@BeingBedingfield]

Hi, yes we went, it was awesome 🤗🥳

[@Zender351]

You missed the best city.... Palmerston North!

[@karllewis1115]

Sorry I meant best you ever had gaurunteed

[@Kellangton]

[@BeingBedingfield]

[@Kellangton]

Thanks

[@ll-rb7or]

Overcast, wet and windy ...again

[@BeingBedingfield]

😅

[@Andy_M986]

There really is no valid reason why the fuel costs so much in Auckland,other then Govt greed. We ,like here in Australia,get our fuel from Asia,yet the govts of both countries blame the costs on the Ukraine war,with is a total cop out. Rant over. . .

[@BeingBedingfield]

😅

[@richardkarena1051]

Are ur parents coming to live here as well they would be wise to stay a lot of bad thing are coming to sa it’s safer here

[@richardkarena1051]

Ur mum dad should not go home it’s way safer here our government should we’ll come the volk and the bour into this country strong and smart people

[@BeingBedingfield]

We would’ve loved for them to stay, but unfortunately they’ve already gone home to SA 😭

[@jamiewentink243]

My wife and i have just returned to South Africa from New Zealand Auckland visiting our daughters. we spent a month which went way to fast, also spent 2 days at Lake Taupo and lake Rotorua. awesome country but expensive.

[@BeingBedingfield]

Aww, hope you had an amazing time here! We had 3 months with my parents, which absolutely flew, so can imagine how quickly a month must’ve gone by 😢 glad you could go exploring…two places we haven’t been to yet, but it’s on the list 🤗 hope you’re able to visit your daughters again soon 🙏🌸
