NEW ZEALAND TRAVEL VLOG Day 10 | QUEENSTOWN | Skyline Gondola & Luge | Wine Tasting

[@AprilChu]

🚠 Is it pronounced GONE-doh-la or gone-DOH-la??? Where do you put the emphasis? Help! I think I have been saying “gondola” wrong my whole life. 😬

[@TheCountryCollectors]

Love New Zealand! What a special place. Everywhere you went was beautiful. Love the blue of the water! Thanks for sharing!

[@AprilChu]

New Zealand is an amazing place! Thanks for watching!

[@Explorcation]

I still can't get over how beautiful the water is there, both in the ocean and the lakes. Your driving and food footage continues to be stellar. Every time I watch your videos I want to go for a drive in the country and eat! The skyline luge looked like a blast, and I Ioved that you found such Mario Cart-esque music to put with it! Overall awesome video.

[@AprilChu]

We were amazed how beautiful the water in New Zealand was too. It was a shade of blue/green that we have never seen before. The luge was so much fun...I definitely recommend it if you visit Queenstown!

[@LucasWorldTravel]

Wow this is such a scenic drive! Love the turquoise waters of the lakes and those mountain views are simply stunning. We must add Queenstown to our list. We look forward to tasting the wines and enjoying the landscapes! That gondola ride looks amazing and the luge looks so thrilling! What a fun day out!

[@AprilChu]

The scenery in Queenstown is something we have never seen before! Definitely add it to your list. Wine tasting and beautiful scenery is a winning combo!

[@DjusLife]

The belly meat with the wine tasting and the Cornhole game outside looked like an awesome place to spend an afternoon with family or friends. The turquoise water from the gondola was incredible! Such a fun activity to go down in go carts

[@AprilChu]

I couldn't agree more...wine tasting and a game of corn hole is a perfect way to spend an afternoon with friends and family! The go karts were soooo much fun!

[@BeingBedingfield]

Such interesting fruits at breakfast :) The lake views on your drive are breathtaking! The wine farm looks incredible...that pork belly 🤤 The view from the gondola is amazing! The jellybean art is so cool. How fun is the skyline luge 😁 Duck nachos 😱 looks delicious! Your hotel has such a beautiful view, especially from your balcony 🤩

[@AprilChu]

The gondola ride definitely offers the best views of Queenstown! The food we had for dinner was delicious and unique...especially those duck nachos. YUM!

[@TideKnotTravellers]

That creamy blue water at lake Pukaki! 😍 Those desserts at the wine tasting place looked so good! Think we pronounce it GONE-doh-la, either way the views from those gondolas are insane! Those pictures made of jelly beans are really cool but makes me wonder what’s in a jelly bean if it’s built to last that long 😅 Wow that whole place looks amazing, so much to do with all that beautiful scenery around, go carting up that high with those views looks great fun!

[@AprilChu]

The go karts and the gondola definitely offer the best views of Queenstown! They must spray something on those jelly beans so they don't go moldy...right???

[@StephenandAndie]

What a great start to a vlog - the "Ricky Bobby" luge looks SO FUN! Stunning view from up on top of the world, too! Thanks for showing us a bit of New Zealand. ☺️

[@AprilChu]

The luge was sooo fun! I think my husband can quote any Will Ferrell movie. 😆 Thanks for watching!

[@costat9995]

New Zealand is absolutely a must travel destination! Loved the views from the top 😊 You did an amazing job here with the wonderful views and the super steady footage!!! Give us some more from that ❤️

[@AprilChu]

Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed the vlog. New Zealand is indeed a must travel destination!

[@CarolandDerek]

Not a cloud in the sky to start. Wine 🍷 you need go no further for us. The view for the balcony is amazing 🌈👍🙏

[@AprilChu]

The weather was amazing! And yes, they had me at wine also. 😊

[@ExtremelyBerry]

Oh wow the high up views were gorgeous!! What wonderful mountains 🏔 and that pure blue sea The cable carts were faaaaancy! 🥳 God Bless ✝️🥰

[@AprilChu]

The gondola rides definitely offer the best views of Queenstown! Thanks for watching!

[@Rebekah-BodyIllumination]

Magnificent - what a beautiful ride April. It looks like parts of the earth that have never been touched. Love wines from New Zealand. Nice trip!

[@AprilChu]

New Zealand wines are super tasty! Thanks for watching!

[@hansfordsmum]

Queenstown is so beautiful in summer and winter, we took our kids there in 2018, and had a great time exploring family-friendly activities. We vlogged the experience and I am so glad we have these cool memories, time to go back I think.

[@AprilChu]

Queenstown during the wintertime must be amazing! I’d definitely like to go back during the winter. That’s my favorite part about vlogging...it helps me document and remember all our wonderful memories!

[@unicorntoyparty4929]

Thanks for showing that New Zealand has so much to offer. I have a friend in New Zealand, this gives me a great excuse to visit her

[@AprilChu]

That's a perfect reason to go to New Zealand...you'll love it there!

[@PrimeTimeTravelers]

What incredible adventures!! Wow the luge ride looks fun! We love gondolas/chairlifts too!

[@AprilChu]

The luge was soooo much fun! And the views are amazing!!!!

[@KelbyAdamOurLifethroughalens]

Lake Tekapo looks absolutely stunning, wow wow wow! Still can't get over the colour of the water. The drive with the music was so peaceful and the views were so stunning of the countryside. Your pork belly looked absolutely mouth-watering!! As for the wine tasting, looks so delicious. Makes me crave a nice glass of wine 😍 Wow how cool was the map of the world map of jelly babies, Could definitely eat that 😂 The go cart track looked so much fun, I've been dying to ride a go cart but I keep finding kiddies ones😂😂 Ah Queenstown Bay reminds me a little of Mauritius, so so so beautiful. Again, you keep making me fall in love with New Zealand. Thanks for sharing these awesome places with us.

[@AprilChu]

Queenstown is a beautiful place! I was kind of worried about the go kart because I thought it was going to be too intense...but it was really fun! Next time I am going to try bungy jumping...just kidding!

[@TwistedGlam]

Some of my favorite youtubers live in New Zeland! I'd love to visit! It looks amazing.

[@AprilChu]

Yes, you should definitely visit New Zealand!!

[@LiisOnLife]

You had me at the Ricky Bobby comment at the beginning lol! Everything was spectacular. Love the luge - that must have been so fun. The views everywhere were incredible especially from the gondola. And loved the presentation at the wine tasting. Again, thank you for letting me feel like I was travelling again!

[@AprilChu]

I think my husband can quote any Will Ferrell movie! The gondola ride definitely offers the best views of Queenstown. Glad you enjoyed the vlog!

[@StepsbyKaatje]

[@AprilChu]

New Zealand is definitely bucket list worthy!

[@MichelleHuangP]

[@AprilChu]

New Zealand is definitely worth visiting! Glad you enjoyed the vlog! 😊

[@JackyAndTheWifey]

Love the breakfast. Love those lakes; pukaki and the other one. So blue! The wine tasting is interesting to try and those pork belly looks tasty! I like the bean painting its unique. Wanna try that Skyline luge go carting thing. You guys had a long great day full of fun and adventures! Thanks fir this experience. Enjoyed it!

[@AprilChu]

The luge was soooo fun! I definitely recommend it. Thanks for watching! 🥰

[@TheAverageTourist]

I love how much you get up to on your trips there's always so much you guys find to do. I would definitely be interested in the wine tasting 🤣🍷 and trying those dining options as well. Go carting looked so fun, the water and lake area there is beautiful, and that accommodation was so nice 👌

[@AprilChu]

You would have an amazing time wine tasting! There are so many great wineries in New Zealand. Great views and delicious wine is a winning combo!

[@SnowbirdLife]

Some game after lunch is a good idea to help digest esp after driving whole morning. Beautiful view and amazing color of water. Thanks for sharing.

[@AprilChu]

That is so true! It's good to stretch the legs after a long drive. The water in New Zealand is so beautiful!

[@AmandaRozze]

The views are beautiful! Their water is like no other. The color is gorgeous! Wine tasting is something I can’t wait to do when we’re able to safely travel! New Zealand is a place I’d love to visit one day. Closest I’ve been to being there is hanging out with guys from New Zealand (when I was younger) in Hilo for the world sprints (paddling)! 🤣

[@AprilChu]

I love wine tasting in different parts of the world. New Zealand definitely produces some amazing wines. I can't wait until we can safely travel again too!

[@KaitlinSonday]

This looks like such an amazing trip! I have always wanted to go here sometime! This was so fun to watch! I haven't traveled in so long!

[@AprilChu]

We had a great time in New Zealand! I haven't traveled for a while as well. Glad you enjoyed the vlog!

[@tobyblack3461]

I love the Mario Cart type music during your go-cart rides! Waiting for a turtle shell to be thrown out somewhere. Hahahahaha!

[@AprilChu]

Or the banana peel! 😆

[@leahbell15]

I also did a road trip around NZ but I only had enough time to do the North Island. Watching you explore the south island makes me want to go back and do another road trip. I missed so much

[@AprilChu]

I would totally recommend going back to explore the South Island...it's very different from the North Island. Each are beautiful in their own way.

[@sabh4194]

New Zealand is one of our bucket list places, this looks spectacular 😍

[@AprilChu]

New Zealand is definitely worth visiting! 🥰

[@JourneytoMobility]

[@TheMapPinners]

First off good question - we say gone-DOH-la 🙃 Also the lake is absolutely STUNNING 😍 Even just driving the views are incredible everywhere you go. Looks like you did a bunch of awesome stuff! The wine tasting and go-karting looked super fun too 😊

[@AprilChu]

I pronounce it gone-DOH-la as well but everyone else pronounces it the other way I think we are correct! 😉

[@SamanthaHenry]

You I don’t understand the feelings that you’re inciting with in me right now! This looks like so much fun, everything looked amazing and I’m so sad that I was not on this trip with you!

[@AprilChu]

Thanks so much!!! Glad you enjoyed the vlog. I’m hoping we can all travel safely again soon. 🥰

[@MillieMoments]

[@AprilChu]

Thanks so much for watching! The go karts were so much fun! I’m still not sure if I’m pronouncing gone-DOH-la correctly. 😆

[@angelicavk3805]

omg I think we also have a Skyline in LA. I've gotta try one AND wine tasting! Wow that island view is definitely BEAUTIFUL. You got a lot of great adventures in this 1 Vlog, girl! & all those restaurant places from the outside look like movie spots, I'm loving it

[@AprilChu]

Wow I didn't know there is a Skyline in LA! I'll have to look into that too the next time I am in southern California.

[@angelicavk3805]

@@AprilChu I just looked it up & it's actually not a skyline, it's a skySLIDE haha

[@ElizabethAnnHurt]

[@NghiaPhamV84]

I feel excited watching your video! What is that small 4-wheel car? The landscape surrounding is gorgeous! Do you usually have those dishes for breakfast?

[@AprilChu]

The 4 wheel car or go kart is the Skyline luge. It was super fun!! We typically have a light breakfast...but on vacation we like to go all out. I definitely couldn’t eat like that all the time. 😊

[@kxngdeegamingchannel5448]

Love the video

[@AprilChu]

Thank you so much! 🥰

[@alinserea4179]

Noteworthy! Thank you for this interesting video! Thank you Very much for sharing, stay connected, pls.🧡.💛.

[@AprilChu]

Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed the vlog. Yes, let’s stay connected! 🥰

[@TravelInteresante]

I'm the last person who can tell you about the pronunciations 😅 Your New Zealand series makes us regret not staying longer there, but we weren't going to be able to anyways due to Covid. Wine tasting, sceneries, delicious food... All the good things at one place. You had such a blast there with fam!

[@AprilChu]

Wine tasting and amazing scenery is seriously the best combo. We were able to enjoy it literally a week before things began shutting down due to the pandemic. I can’t believe that was a year ago!!

[@MSWorldKL74]

Watching from Kerala

[@AprilChu]

Thanks for watching!! 😊

[@hiitsmerose]
