I think the view from your guys picnic towards the mountain was really cool! You could see the clouds rolling down the side of the mountain and it had such a picturesque view!

[@GrowingUpWithoutBorders]

Yes it was a perfect day to see it and the clouds were so cool going down the sides of it. 🤩

[@davidcross701]

3:45 Wow, look at that!🖤

[@derekw.9878]

Checking in from Madison Alabama. Loving this video!

[@GrowingUpWithoutBorders]

Awesome! Thanks for letting us know!

[@shirleymcnceil8749]

Another enjoyable video. How amazing to see the mountain on such a beautifully clear day. Thanks for taking me on the Forgotten Highway from here in Brisbane.

[@GrowingUpWithoutBorders]

Have you ever heard of the Forgotten Highway? What a road with such beautiful scenery! It was amazing that we had a clear day because it's not always the case.

[@shirleymcnceil8749]

@@GrowingUpWithoutBorders . Yes it is often covered on cloud. In fact the last time we were there we didn't see the mountain at all. I hadn't heard of the Forgotten Highway until fairly recently. It is now on my next must do NZ trips. That and the trip from Coromandal to Gisborne coastal road. Enjoy your continued adventures.

Yes! Really nice to discover this area of NZ!

[@BasicFishingNZ]

u always show the less obvious stuff i'm so surprised to see so many things you don't normally see. its like a whole different world

[@GrowingUpWithoutBorders]

Yeah it sure is. Especially Whangamōmona. Cool little inn there. I can see why all the bikers enjoy it, it's a beautiful drive and then you stop for a nice refreshing drink or even the night before carrying on.

[@gregnz1]

have you thought about staying at Raglan over winter, the girls can learn to Surf, its where one of the a first Polynesian Canoe landed, there is all the caves in features to explore,, G

[@erinaporter1985]

When did you visit Taranaki? Can't have been recently as there's been no snow one the mountain since last winter, and it's only Autumn now.

[@GrowingUpWithoutBorders]

Yeah it was winter. We’re quite behind on our videos.

[@gregnz1]

First Frosts and jumping in fresh cowpats is an experience, just a kiwi kid thing growing up in the countryside,

[@GrowingUpWithoutBorders]

Yes! Greg, you're the 2nd person who just said this. Must of been the thing to do here back in the day.

[@gregnz1]

@@GrowingUpWithoutBorders Phew, its not me being weird, we went to school barefoot in winter, Its Autumn so you should be seeing some field mushrooms, if wild food gathering-cooking is an experience?

My Mum lived in Opunake when she was a kid back in the 1950's, before they walked to school they had to do their farm chores, I remember she told me when it was ice cold mornings they'd race for the cow paddy's and stand in it to warm up their frost bitten feet, they couldn't afford a lot back then and shoe's was a luxury, my Granny made their clothing or they were handed down from other families, my Granny use to make underwear out of the Mt Egmont flour bags, my mum said they were warm but itchy and the Mt Egmont bit was on the bum 😂, hard times back then but good times my Mum reckon, but she always said she never got tired of the scenery from the mountain and that's understandable it's beautiful even with cloud cover and it's Mt Tarawera you can see and Whaakari/ White Island on a clear day from that lookout @7:20 my hubby and I did the same thing and it was such a stunning view the binoculars where handy, thanks for taking me back to my Mum's old stomping grounds that I must go and see again soon 👍🏽

[@GrowingUpWithoutBorders]

Wow! The girls and I couldn't believe this. Times were tough back then. We all have it SO good don't we. I remember my Swiss grandma knitting underwear and I thought this was the funniest thing in the world but they probably had to as well. Cow paddy's to warm up OMG!!😂😂

[@Megan7088-6]

@@GrowingUpWithoutBorders I couldn't believe it when my Mum told me the good old stories but my mum's older Sister confirmed and they both said with laughter "they really hated wearing the flour bag undies" 'as they called them 😂 and when she told me about the cow 💩, I said to my Mum "eww your feet would of been stink all day at school, her reply was all the kids that went to her school had stink feet 🤣🤣 the stories just get better, Our Granny's believed warmth over fashion first, even if it was itchy 😂

[@johnpaki1534]

Aww, Kia ora my friend, lovely story, you nearly wrote a book🤣our nanny's and mums had it hard back then but they were survivors, not sure about the undies they wore out of a flour bag🤣think I had real undies...lol but I remember those big itchy jumpers we use to wear...lol and yes cow patty's, who didn't do it, had a teacher named Mr rat he would always check our feet before entering class...hehe, hope all is well my friend, take care🥰

[@Megan7088-6]

@@johnpaki1534 Hi John, 😂 everything is great, when I sent my comment i was like "Oh heck that's long 🤣 hahaha, algud some people like a good old story, I wore those itchy Jumper's back in school, I use to call them 'Jerseys' and yes times were tuff back in our Granny's days and anything and everything was used even the Mt Egmont flour bags, my Aunt in Matata still has a pair she kept all these years, they're a little tattered now but still has the Mt Egmont logo on the bottom 🤣 have a wonderful day John and batton down the hatches we're in for a Cyclone 🌀

You can hire a golf cart modified to run on rails and spend a day riding the old railway from Taumaranui to Whangamomona, something I plan to do one of these days. I have driven the forgotten highway a couple times and I think it is worth the drive. Sure it's a windy gravel road with no cell coverage in places, but you just take it easy and it's no big deal. There's a waterfall down a side road somewhere near the middle that's a nice easy walk, and the "bridge to nowhere" and a bunch of other things to see along the way.

[@GrowingUpWithoutBorders]

A golf cart would be a fun way to do it! I hope you manage to do it soon. Just bring water in case you get stuck.

[@alanawarren4492]

Good d Stratford very cold thrre in winter

[@richardsawtell256]

great video ,that volcano is what i see a lot living in tariki and the other volcano you can see from quite a few places even my kitchen window is MT Ruapehu which is in the middle of the island very close to taupo not rotorua and has two other volcanos next to it as well

[@GrowingUpWithoutBorders]

Cool! We did see Mt Ruapehu too when we did the Tangariro crossing. It was amazing!!!

[@ALxdCr4ftPlays]

Watching from my couch at home in Wellington (NZ). I've never been to the west coast area of the North and South Islands. Must of enjoyed the view above the clouds, for me the best view I've had is from an A320 airbus Air NZ. I'm hoping to go to Sydney at the end of the year (last visit January 2017). Good cheap train and ferry service that takes you everywhere. Otherwise I'll holiday somewhere though I usually go to Taupo and Auckland. Regional airfares cost more than a trip to Aussie. NZ cities are fine, though I usually drive.

[@GrowingUpWithoutBorders]

Yeah it's easy enough to just drive to the different NZ cities/towns. Everything is still pretty close. We loved the view of the Mount and couldn't believe we had such a clear day to see it too! Hope you enjoy Sydney! We've never been but we're about to go there soon too!

I wish I was above the clouds. Another place I wish I was above the clouds was a place you visited called Zermatt. ⛅

[@johnpaki1534]

Sir Edmund Hillary, first man to climb Mt Everest and stand above the clouds lived in New Zealand he would practice climbing Mt taranaki and many other mountains in New Zealand, have you heard of him?

Oh yes!!! Zermatt, many places in CH you just have to take a train and boom you're above the clouds. It's quite the feeling.

[@GrowingUpWithoutBorders]

Yes! I've definitely heard of him but only knew about his accomplishments after the fact. We knew about the Edmund Hillary Foundation in NZ because they work with businesses who want to have a global impact. Pretty amazing guy!

it would be amazing spending that many years to just travel the world, I want to do that so bad

[@GrowingUpWithoutBorders]

We are always amazed at just how different each country and cultures are from one another. What fees “normal” for some feels the most unusual for others and you don’t fully see this until you start traveling. So yes, it’s quite an amazing experience. Im sure you’d find it fascinating too!
