Loved this! Thanks for sharing, really good to see the price comparisons too.

[@BeingBedingfield]

Thanks for watching, friends 🤗

I believe this trip was well worth every cent. Planing was definitely key to the trip success. Sandwiches on a road trip is more of a personal preference😋 It reminds me of the old days when there were not many shops on long road trips. Thanks very much Chantz and Craig for the breakdown and explanations, it really helps alot to know these things before going on such a long trip😇🙏👍

[@genevieveberge7663]

oh yes! I remember stopping for cheese and pickle sandwiches and a hot flask of tea near Lake Pupuke in my 20's (almost 30 yrs ago!). The picnic spots were the best 😊

Thank you so much for watching 🩷

So wonderful. I’ve been following you guys for a while now and it’s always inspiring to experience your trips and excursions. We are a richer and a wealthier society with you here. Thank you so much for taking the time and energy to record your life and to share it with the world and your kiwi family.

Thank you so much! Such a great and informative vlog. 👍👏It's actually very affordable considering it's for four people on a two-week trip. Great planning, guys.👌 Chantal, you are a great reporter.💖 I m keeping this vlog as a reference material for our future planning. 🥰 Lots of love to both of you💖, and I hope your parents are doing great.💕💕

Thanks so much Renata, really appreciate it 🩷

[@Auckland-girl]

Good on you, looks looks like y'all had a great time.. shame you didn't use "first table" for eating out, half price for max of 4 people.. but brais are delish too

[@BeingBedingfield]

Never thought I’d see Auckland girl mentioning a braai 👏 love it 😁 We didn’t even think of using first table…we’ll remember it for next time, thanks so much 😊

@@BeingBedingfield lol my bestie is from south Africa. Don't like that biltong though. 🐀 meat 🤮 lol

[@marcanderson8669]

At 12m50s you mentioned you stopped often to take a photo of another mountain or river or coastline. You left out "and to have another ham n cheese sammidge"

[@BeingBedingfield]
