Lake Tekapo and Mount Cook | Van Life Adventures 🚌 | Episode 5

[@fluffbigrollingmarshmallow]

I spent a couple of weeks in NZ back in 1991 - your videos are bringing back lots of memories! I hiked the Milford Track, which was spectacular, and visited lots of the same things you are - Lake Tekapo, Mount Cook, Milford Sound boat tour, Glow Worm Caves (Te Anau), jet boats in Christchurch, etc. I have pondered making a drinking game of watching your videos - drink every time Kay says "so, yeah", but decided I would be plastered before I ever got to the end of whatever video I was watching... LOL

[@KayAndDomDoLife]

soooo yeah.... 😉😂 I need to work on my connectives it would seem 😂 but I also love your idea for the drinking game,! 😂 I'm so happy to hear you came and experienced NZ too and that it hasn't changed too much since you were here. I love reminiscing places i've been too when I see other peoples videos 😊😀

[@fluffbigrollingmarshmallow]

@@KayAndDomDoLife It's all good - and don't change 'cause one day I'll do that drinking game! :-) I am amazed, happily so, that it all looks about the same as it did in 1991. Beautiful place, NZ.

Hi Kay and Dom as always such beautiful scenery we enjoy you taking us along on your adventures oh my God 28,000 steps of walking that would definitely kill me LOL

[@KayAndDomDoLife]

Hahahah yesss it was a LOT of steps we had very sore bodies the next day 😂

[@lindatait5326]

If you could do 20 minute of the sound of Dom walking in the water (minus the wind) it would help me sleep at night! Such a beautiful sound😍

[@KayAndDomDoLife]

hahah that's so cute, it is really relaxing isn't it! 🌞

[@mukamikanyoko1168]

Halo Kay and Dom. You two are my kind of people. Loving nature and enjoying life with All the beauty it has to offer. 👍

[@KayAndDomDoLife]

It's the best way to live, we think 😊

[@mummysunshine6593]

Really enjoying your adventures! I am so thankful you are sharing your journey as it makes my heart so happy to see you both experiencing life to the full! ❤️❤️❤️

[@KayAndDomDoLife]

Yayyy, so happy to hear that, thanks lovely! Hope you're well xx

[@annacleghorn8482]

Great video. I loved visiting those areas in Jan 2014 - But was unable to hike as much due to being with my elderly Dad. That tiny church is famous because the foundation stone was laid by HRH the Duke of Gloucester, on January 15 1935. :) Also hiked the Hooker trail though Mt Cook was hidden by clouds most of the way. I had a photo of the boardwalk as well. :) So lovely to see all the clear skies. You picked an excellent day! Hope you all had a good rest after all those steps. I am amazed at how much you did! :)

[@KayAndDomDoLife]

Ooooh that's interesting to know! We were really happy the day was nice, it's been really hit and miss recently with the weather. So happy you had a lovely time when you were here too. 🌞

[@hicktownguy2]

awesome video, nothing wrong watching you cook, its interesting watching what you can cook living in a van or camping👍👍

[@KayAndDomDoLife]

That's true, i'm happy to hear that! 😊 Will definitely film more cooking videos very soon 🌞

[@moreynolds9870]

Hey you two!! The view of the lake from the top of the hill was Truly amazing and the snow topped mountains outstanding!! Wish I could show you the view I woke up to this morning!!! Ha ha not a patch on yours!! Take care, stay Safe. Love and hugs Mo, Lincs, UK XX

[@KayAndDomDoLife]

It was so pretty wasn't it! Hope you're doing well Mo! 😊 xx

[@mukamikanyoko1168]

Thanks for the sites of Snow tops at close view....icebergs, ... lovely different campsites and scenaries very different from Africas sites at trails but Beautiful.

[@KayAndDomDoLife]

Ahhh Africa looks so amazing. Where abouts do you live?

[@laurenteague4377]

Ka pai! I'm loving these van life episodes, I grew up in nz and you guys have probably covered more of the south island than I have by now! Mount cook and lake tekapo are definitely on the to do list. You two grilled tomatos take care of yourselves, it's going to be a long hot summer I think! 🍅🍅☀️ happy travels✌

[@KayAndDomDoLife]

Super happy to hear that 😀 Hahaha yes we certainly were grilled tomatoes that day! I hope you're right, we're in desperate need of some sunshine. 🌞

[@annawitter5161]

Feast fir eye! No place in the world like it

[@KayAndDomDoLife]

Very true! 😊

[@digital6string1]

Awesome,I've climbed Mt John a few times back in the 90's.I love |New Zealand,been there six times.

[@kelleehasclass]

I was just in these places in September and you've made my heart sing recalling all the memories I've made. Thank you so much for making these vlogs!

[@KayAndDomDoLife]

Awww, that's so lovely to hear! Hope you had a great time. 😊

[@hf6847]

Really enjoying these NZ vlogs. Nice scenery. Loving to see you both having fun and enjoying yourselves.

[@KayAndDomDoLife]

So happy to hear that! We sure are😀

[@sydneybaldwin3514]

Stunning video guys! It’s making me so excited to go to NZ next year!

[@KayAndDomDoLife]

Thanks Riley! You're going to LOVE it here!

[@SaraS-wp8uj]

That blue lake was so beautiful 😍

[@KayAndDomDoLife]

It was ey! We can't believe our eyes some days 😱😍

[@dianeintheshire3693]

What a beautiful country! I can see why they filmed "Lord Of The Rings"there. Also a wonderful lack of pollution and litter!

[@KayAndDomDoLife]

It's incredible how much the scenery changes with each place we go and yes we think the same! 😊

[@marieaustin10]

So happy to see you guys at Lake Takapo! I love the colour sooo much

[@KayAndDomDoLife]

It's stunning isn't it! Ah damn, wish i'd have read this before, we've just passed through CHCH! We're up in Nelson now on our way to the north island xx

[@marieaustin10]

I did this same hike in the winter... So so beautiful! :D

[@KayAndDomDoLife]

It sure is! 😍

[@sayangsarina]

Wonderful video. Me and my best fren planning for a camper Van rider there next year maybe in October. Just two of us ladies. Do u think it's safe for us to be on the road? Maybe can u recommend whr can we Park to have a good night and safe sleep.

[@KayAndDomDoLife]

Great idea to go for a trip over to New Zealand you'll love it! It's a very safe country so no worries there, you can either pay to camp in campsites with other people and amenities like showers and a camp kitchen, or there are many free camping spots around but you will need a van which has its own facilities on board to be allowed to camp there :)

[@sayangsarina]

@@KayAndDomDoLife tq soooooo much! God bless u.

[@sevenpointfive5450]

hiking in flip flops you guys are hard

[@KayAndDomDoLife]

😂

[@alisadventures152]

What kind of step counter do you have? I've used a Fitbit for years but several months ago I lost it so exploring options now. Thanks!

[@KayAndDomDoLife]

I also have a fit bit and love it. 😊 Sorry to hear you lost yours, it's the only once i've used so I cant really recommend any others, hope you find one you love 😊

[@kaylenewinter248]

The flowers are Lupin's and grow wild

[@KayAndDomDoLife]

Ahh nice! That's so cool 😀
