[@Chris-NZ]

Really nice video , spent a lot of time in New Plymouth over the last 50 years , lovely part of the country.

[@GrowingUpWithoutBorders]

I know…so many beautiful places to enjoy in NZ!

[@BasicFishingNZ]

the last samurai is one of my favourite movies and i was so surprised to learn it was filmed in nz. couldn't stop laughing at 2:35 with julia angelic and chloe in a cramped car looking so sleepy haha

[@lindamcbride8813]

I grew up in New Plymouth. My brothers still live there. Beautiful place.

[@GrowingUpWithoutBorders]

Yah it’s a nice part of NZ!✨

[@rhia2422]

I live in new Plymouth lol and by up the mountain they mean the puakai track which goes up to the rangers, the small mountain range, and it has a small lake that is very reflective and the mountain is reflected in it. I've gone up on it like 10-15 times it's stunning and amazing, it would be so cool to do what u guys do, travel the world and stuff, and PioPio/the fat pigeon is literally ICONIC lol

[@joshuacope2099]

While I'm originally English, I've lived in New Plymouth nearly my whole life, it's a great place and interesting to see so many places I recognize on KZbin being explored.

[@GrowingUpWithoutBorders]

Nice! It was fun for us to discover it.

[@eileenlynetteadams9182]

I grew up in Taranaki moved to the South Island in 2011.Taranaki is the most beautiful place. I climbed to the top of Taranaki Maunga, Pouakai Hut & Tarn, and tramped around many tracks on and around Te Maunga. I'm glad you are showing the beauty of Taranaki. I grew up in Tikorangi went to Waitara Schools then moved to New Plymouth when I left school.

[@mattboss8715]

I am hoping to see you guys explore in new plymouth. I saw you went to the whale bone bridge I love that bridge it is so beutiful. New plymouth is a beutiful place with lots to offer. Once with my cousins I biked from the bike park to the whale bone bridge it was such a fun experance. I love you guy so much!!!

[@GrowingUpWithoutBorders]

That’s awesome! I wish we biked the trail too as it seems like a nice one to do. Hope you enjoy part 2 coming out soon.

[@rhia2422]

it's so cool to see people talking about New Plymouth and New Zealand not many people know this and it is such a nice place, the black sand is due to volcanic eruptions and its magnetic too

[@GrowingUpWithoutBorders]

That's amazing! I didn't know the sand was magnetic too. We discovered so many amazing places in New Zealand and can't wait to share them with the world!!

[@skylagaaia1683]

Congratulations on achieving an epic hike…. I live in NZ, and I would like to thank you for taking me along…and I totally felt the pain on your climb, especially the part about ‘all we could think of is food..’..😂😂

[@GrowingUpWithoutBorders]

I know we were so ill prepared for that hike lack of water and lack of food. The next hikes we did we were much more prepared don’t you worry. We did the Tangariro crossing imagine that!! I felt that hike for literally a week after 😂😂

[@myafrench993]

Omg I so wish I could take you guys all around taranaki to all the hidden beaches around here

[@GrowingUpWithoutBorders]

Oh that would be amazing! We will have to do it when we come back next year. 🤩

[@tahliataylor2463]

I have lived in Taranaki my whole life its the best place to live honestly it's beautiful. The bridge they visited is called the whale bridge or Te wera wera bridge

[@ezequielgaucho4248]

[@GrowingUpWithoutBorders]

Thanks! Going for walks is always great bonding time. Glad you're enjoying New Zealand!

[@binklebonknz]

Home, I live is Stratford but work in New Plymouth. I don't think we ever get over the beauty of the mountain, especially after snow.

[@GrowingUpWithoutBorders]

You’ll see in upcoming video we visited Stratford.

[@binklebonknz]

The tunnels that you went through on your way to New Plymouth, are now closed off.

[@morrisanderson818]

[@Megan7088-6]

Wow what a walk 'well done 🙌🏽 you guys' that was good to see that rat trapped, my hubby and I walked Wilkie's Track it was so awesome 👍🏽 and refreshing 🥶 no we won't tell on you 🤫 for enjoying yourselves on the back of the pickup 🛻 We do get ticks here, they're on cattle, horse's, sheep, cattle dogs, hunting dogs, cats hence why you gotta drench or give your dog or cat frontline or advantage and they can suck the life outta any animal if not looked after..

[@jakartaharpman]

Excellent video. Fantastic scenery. Never been to that part of NZ. Also, thanks for posting the link to your Santa Ana trip. I enjoyed watching that video too. I climbed the volcano last summer. Funny to see the less-grown-up versions of the kids. Not sure Chloe knew how to say "I didn't sign up for this" back then😃. Excellent reference to my adopted national dish nasi goreng too. Not sure I've ever craved it when coming down a mountain though😅...

[@GrowingUpWithoutBorders]

Glad you enjoyed the video. Nice that you watched the Santa Ana one too. I hope it brought you back nice memories. I thought it was funny that they mentioned nasi goreng...they must have been so hungry.

[@consurf6248]

I run up up and down that track twice In a day new Plymouth is my hometown to

[@paulg3336]

In a really windy easterly ,streams that normally fall from the cliffs on the inland side of the road in wet weather, go up. That is: the water gets to the edge of the cliff and is blown up into the sky

[@rhia2422]

are you guys still here?, if u are going up paratutu rock and the sand dune at back beach are a really fun thing to do on a nice day, paratutu rock is about 100 or so meters high and really fun with the view so u should do it :)

[@GrowingUpWithoutBorders]

Oh we’re already gone we’ll have to do that next time…🤩

[@donnapatu2857]

Wow! yous are having a great time here in NZ. I heard on your tape you left from Rotorua, was there a video of your visit? i'm from Rotorua

[@GrowingUpWithoutBorders]

[@justinarambulo7606]

You guys should go to back-beach New Plymouth

[@JohnSmith-pf1ks]

Go to Pukekura Park, which a very beautiful botanical garden with a beautiful red bridge crossing a river. You will love it! Believe me, it's worth it. It's right in New Plymouth. Also, rent bicycles and ride on the Coastal Walkway (12.7 kilometers). I recommend the Cycle Inn at 133 Devon St. East. It's a lot of fun and you will see cows again. I enjoyed your video!! It was awesome!

[@alanawarren4492]

Been on the poukai track few years back 2 hrs upwards

[@GrowingUpWithoutBorders]

Yeah it’s quite the hike up.

[@alanawarren4492]

Oh sure is

[@james4299]

[@elayagmurcan9883]

Hi I love new Plymouth to and I love eating smuela kebab food the kebabs are amazing they have a shop in moturoa and have two caravans One and block and one in Inglewood you should definitely try them

[@tronwars7130]

Mt Egmont/Taranaki is an active volcano that's overdue for a major eruption. When it blows a large part of Taranaki will be destroyed. The blast zone will be in the order of 25km, it could last for weeks months or years though most expect it to last for a few months of ash fallout. The last time it blew ash made it all the way to Auckland. It will have a significant impact on the dairy industry.

[@GrowingUpWithoutBorders]

I know we saw this when we visited the museum. It's going to be devastating when it erupts. 😢

[@davidmorneau9759]

It's still Dave and still from Onamia, MN. Thanks for having me along with you. Later

[@GrowingUpWithoutBorders]

Glad to know you’re still Dave from Omania 😂😂Thanks for coming along the journey.

[@kirstenjones8941]

How long are u here for I live in New plymouth

[@maltnz]

Man - think of the work nailing all the cross bars on that path up the mountain.

[@GrowingUpWithoutBorders]

Yeah it would've been a lot of work to do...

[@johnpaki1534]

Yup, it's called PD or periodic detention, naughty people for what ever reason are sent by the courts to do hard labour on a Saturday as part of their punishment, for them it's good, a chance to avoid jail time, anyway building and clearing paths and maintaining tracks thru the bush was part of their work, so you can kinder thank them for much of the work done to building and carving out these paths all over nz, true story....

[@denbyscott5745]

I have a photo from the exact same spot at 13:10, it's on my Instagram page. Nice video guys👍

[@jawadazarikia828]

[@GrowingUpWithoutBorders]

Oh yes Braveheart was a great one too.

Welcome to New Zealand, the Switzerland in South.

[@TheKL105]

I feel your pain walking up and down that mountain ! 😄 In 2019 I did a similar climb in Wellington as I was a holiday to attend a family wedding so during our stay with a family member who lives I Ngio a hilly suburb in Wellington you may have heard of..? So basically my brother and I looked out the window of their home and said let's climb up that mountain ( Mt KauKau )! you may have heard of too ? So next morning we did .. little did we know we went up the long way ! apparently there was a shorter route to the top ! So it took about 2hrs there and back and we both aren't young like we used be I felt like I was 21 going up and 81 when we got back down ! The ache and pain afterwards ! I wish I had known about the ankle down first as your coming back down wouldn't have been so bad maybe haha anyway it was a great experience it's gives you a different view and perspective of Wellington you may want to try next time as most people go up Mt Vic. Anyway another great video take care 👍

[@GrowingUpWithoutBorders]

I never heard of Ngio suburb yet. I think we felt our legs for 3 days after that walk. I could hardly go up and down the stairs in the home we were staying in. 😅 Sounds like you had a similar experience and it probably made it hard to dance at the wedding. 😂😂

[@blitzrule]

not a bad idea to iced your knees after a long hike, should help tremendously relieving the swelling, after a day or two you should apply heat to help it heal faster, because 3.5-4 hours of up and down hiking can be very damaging for your joints, especially the knees, enjoy your videos 😊

[@GrowingUpWithoutBorders]

Oh yes I sure did feel it for days after. Probably should have iced them. Next time I'll know to do this.

[@rhia2422]

it's not very big actually so unless they did something to it they probably won't need to, it might be a little hard but not too bad ive done it many times it's not too bad but that is very smart if u r not used to hiking
