Like you, when I go for a walk near the ocean or in nature here in NZ, I just keep saying "beautiful" and "gorgeous" and "wow" to myself. Even just walking down to my local beach or looking at the ocean from my house in Auckland. It's just so green and beautiful here!

[@davidl9938]

As an expat Kiwi of 20 years living overseas and currently deciding where in NZ I want to move back to in order to raise my young family, your channel is really helping me out alot. I remember Feb/Mar are the best months to visit NZ due to its weather and I see you really getting lucky with the bluest of the blue skies in Marlborough Sounds and the greenest of the green grass in Picton. Your AirBNB house architecture is fantastic and is something I would like to build as well. Great video's guys and keep up the good work. Looking forward to the rest of your travels to help me shortlist my favourite towns to live.

[@serahnkahukura8433]

8:08 We didn't cross oceans on paddled waka, but on Waka Hourua. If you google, you can see some modern ones; they've travelled all through the Pacific and across to the USA.

[@justsuzy-v3c]

I'm a Kiwi from Blenheim living the last 13 years in Australia, and Picton is part of our playground; countless trips for fishing, fish & chips and ice-cream ... We have just begun talking about moving back and living in the Marlborough Sounds, so have been watching as many vids as possible because we're missing the scenery sooooo much! You have captured the essence of my beautiful country so well, and I love that it's not a quick pic here and there, but you've laboured on some of the most beautiful scenery in the world, well done and thank you! I can't wait to get back and enjoy it all again, but with much more appreciation for what we had and left but never really "saw" it!❤

[@GrowingUpWithoutBorders]

I bet you’re missing the scenery. It’s spectacular and so unique. We really enjoyed our time in the Picton area too. Glad you liked our videos.

[@markeaston7353]

THE most important thing about Picton is that it is the stepping off point for the fabulous Marlborough wine district. No trip to Picton is complete without a visit.

[@janices6136]

Love Picton, again crossed there from Wellington many times in my life. Didn't get to stay long, but have walked about the town. Love that you are all enjoying it. Kiwi from Virginia

[@ALxdCr4ftPlays]

Nice video. Went to Picton a couple of times when I was a kid for the U16 cross country fun run. Our coach from Wellington was friends with one of the ferry captains and got to go on the bridge and life boat deck. It is a 3 hour trip on the ferry. It only takes 45 mins to fly from Wellington to Auckland and 1 hour 20 mins from Wellington to Queenstown (Airbus A320).

[@GrowingUpWithoutBorders]

You probably have some great memories of when you were there last. Sounds like your coach had a nice view on deck.
