Hands up. How many Kiwi drivers have been stuck behind a camper van with an ignorant driver doing 70 kph?

What an epic adventure and well done with the filming and vlog! We are planning our second trip to NZ, just the south island this time, and if you don't mind, I've got a question about your Routeburn Flats walk. This is something we are planning on doing, and I was wondering if you could tell me how easy (or not) this walk is and whether it was worth doing? I have dreamed of walking the Routeburn, but due to arthritis and time, we just can't do the full walk, so I was hoping the Routeburn Flats walk would be the next best thing! Also, did you try flying your drone around that area, or were there posted signs saying no drones? Thank you for sharing your adventure!

Hi Jennifer. Thanks for your kind feedback and questions. We would definitely recommend the Routeburn Flats walk. The scenery was spectacular and for the most part, the walk was easy with a few moderate uphill sections, but nothing too challenging. The day we went, it was raining so the trail was like a stream in some places. I would advise wearing good waterproof shoes if it's wet. Also, leave longer than the tourist websites tell you to, because you'll be stopping a lot for photos along the way. It's probably a full day walk there and back, even though the sites say 3 hours. As far as the drone went, we didn't use it there. One of the things we found out on that trip was how much NZ'ers hate drones. I think the drone rules have expanded quite a bit since we shot this. No drones in National Parks or over private property unless you have permission from the owner. You can get permits to use them in some areas although we've never tried getting one so not sure how easy it would be. This web site will give you more info www.doc.govt.nz/get-involved/apply-for-permits/recreational-drone-use/. Have a great time!

$513 for a 1 bedroom ? Damn,as a Kiwi,I am ashamed about those prices, that's highway robbery. Covid has made a lot of people greedy.

[@busylivin]

We totally agree with you. I just can’t see the prices falling in the future. 😖
