FAILED MT TARANAKI VISIT 🏔️ The Forgotten World Highway 🏞️ New Zealand’s Oldest Heritage Trail!

Full time van life for the first time so come along with us as we try and nagivate the incredible New Zealand countryside and experience living in a campervan for the very first time
🏞️ Welcome to a new video and our 8th episode of our New Zealand Roadtrip Adventure! Following a well deserved day of relaxation by the tranquil shores of 📍Lake Taupo, we set off on a four-hour journey along the scenic and mysterious 📍Forgotten World Highway. As we ventured further into the remote wilderness of New Zealand's oldest heritage trail, we couldn't help but wonder if Kevin (our camper-van)was up to the challenge of navigating this rugged terrain, with the end goal being seeing the monstrous mountain peak of 📍Mt Taranaki in all its glory, but as we all know, not all adventures end in success and victory! 🥲
