Wanaka & Rob Roy Glacier | Van Life Adventures 🚌 | Episode 2

[@alexisd8190]

When you said it was spring and showed he calf’s it made me appreciate the world and realise that if the seasons are opposite then of course the animals would be born at different times to us as well x

[@KayAndDomDoLife]

haha it took us some getting used to when we first got here to come from everything turning into spring in the UK, straight into autumn when we first arrived here in NZ! To be honest, we're still referring to the seasons/time of year in UK version because our brains can't keep up with the change around as we talk!! 😂

[@alexisd8190]

KayAndDomDoLife At least you get a warm Christmas now 😂

[@KayAndDomDoLife]

@@alexisd8190 Fingers crossed! especially as we'll be heading north by Christmas time 😊

[@kinou_clem__6366]

You guys are too cute together ! Can’t wait to see what’s next. And can’t wait to go on a trip around the world.

[@KayAndDomDoLife]

hehe thanks Lyoen 😊where abouts is on your list for your trip?

[@rachelirvin968]

I know I'm sure late in commenting but I just wanted to say how beautiful this video is! I'll be watching it again for sure.

[@KayAndDomDoLife]

Thank you so much 😊

[@lindatait5326]

Is it weird that when you showed Flo down at the bottom of the hill I waved to her ?😂😂😂😂😂 This video was stunning but the stress it gives every time Dom picks up a power tool is excessive! Much love xx

[@KayAndDomDoLife]

hahahaha they say 'no sense no feeling' so we've decided even if I lose my finger i shouldn't feel it too much, right?! 😂We love Flo-spotting when we're on hikes, it gives us a sense of how far we have (or haven't!!) got along 😂😊 xx

[@lindatait5326]

KayAndDomDoLife I’ll try not to worry too much then 😂 (As long as you have a first aid kit to stem the bleeding) and I suppose that after all the years you have been together Kay has become an expert at first aid 🤞🤣🤣🤣

[@KayAndDomDoLife]

@@lindatait5326 Would you believe it's normally Kay getting hurt and needing first aid?! Usually at least once every time we leave the UK 😂😊

[@lindatait5326]

KayAndDomDoLife WOW! You must have been born under a very lucky star ⭐️

[@VikingVanMan]

NZ beautiful !!! Skål !!!

[@KayAndDomDoLife]

Thanks! Such a beautiful place isn't it 😊

[@SaraS-wp8uj]

Love all those timelapses you guys do! And all those animals were too cute 😍

[@KayAndDomDoLife]

Thanks Sarah 😊 they were super cute ey?! We didn't know what to do with ourselves ❤️

[@camillaandersen1436]

All the memories from my trip to NZ in february just came back. My husband and I went on the jetboats, spent a night in Wanaka and hiked to the glacier. It hasn`t been a year and we are already saving to go back to NZ.

[@KayAndDomDoLife]

I don't blame you one bit, it's a beautiful place! I highly recommend hiking Queenstown hill if you stay in QT next time, and heading out towards Bobs cove and Moke lake 😊

[@LizzieDeanMakes]

Ha ha I so misread the title of this video! 😂😂😂

[@LizzieDeanMakes]

That tree is fascinating - how did it come to be out in the water like that - is it a tidal lake? Xx

[@LizzieDeanMakes]

Ha ha Kay how did you get on the roof in the first place?

[@LizzieDeanMakes]

Yes I liked the week in a vlog - it was nice and fast paced with lots to see xxx

[@KayAndDomDoLife]

I'm not sure what you mean about the title Lizzie...... not thinking rude are we? 😮😂 (i did the exact same the first time i saw it!!) The lake is slightly tidal i think - i've definitely seen pictures of it standing on rocks not water but i think Willow trees are pretty resilient anyway so he doesn't mind a bit of a dip in the water 😂 Kay did a great job of climbing up there herself, only problem is she forgot the old 'what goes up must come down' theory!! Thanks for your support Lizzie 😊❤️xxx

[@AmyProctor]

You two only went to the first lookout....how come you didn't go all the way to the second lookout where the trail ends? Talk about stunning!

[@KayAndDomDoLife]

Which hike was that on? Not sure why we didn't 😂

[@AmyProctor]

@@KayAndDomDoLife Sorry! I was talking about the Rob Roy Glacier track.... where you stopped was the 1st lookout. The path goes on for another 30-45 minutes to the top where you get to see the glacier up close and personal. Apparently lots people stop at the 1st lookout. ..

[@KayAndDomDoLife]

Sorry Amy not sure how i missed this comment to reply to. Kay replied to your first comment and i take her down so many tracks she doesn't know each one by name! haha The track was closed for Avi risk at that point in the year so you weren't allowed past the first lookout. I'm thinking of sticking it on the agenda for the way back south though especially seeing as we couldn't really get close to Fox or Franz :)

[@homesteadonthehill4]

You guys are amazing! I'm so thankful, that you are sharing your journey, as I probably won't be able to travel in my life... Can not tell you how happy it makes me, that through your eyes I can see these parts of the World! Thank you so much! Love you both! :)

[@KayAndDomDoLife]

Thank you so much for your lovely message! We're so pleased we're able to show these amazing sights with you 😊❤️

[@rheaguy2776]

I've been to NZ before but only on cruises so you're only at the ports for half a day before you have to get back on the ship. Seeing your videos has shown me how much I really want to go back and visit all the beauty this country has to offer. My Dad and I always have talked about a trip together to visit the Lord of the Rings filming locations and you guys have inspired me to stop talking and actually start planning! Thank you !

[@KayAndDomDoLife]

That's so cool! that'll be such an awesome trip to go on with your dad too! Everything LOTR is on the internet of course, but if you need or want any of our recommendations as you go through your plans then let us know 😊 We always feel torn about cruises - you get to see a heap of places in one trip but it's so hard to see a place properly, as you say. Glad we could inspire you to come back again 😊

[@moreynolds9870]

Absolutely fab video. The scenery is just so beautiful, especially the snowy bits and the waterfalls. Quite drawn to the sounds of the water. Stay safe. Love Mo, Lincs UK XX

[@KayAndDomDoLife]

Thank you Mo! So happy to hear you enjoyed it, we're also drawn to water too it's so soothing! 😄❤️

[@tOxxicButt3rfly]

You work so hard to make these beautiful videos I really liked visit NZ and I miss this amazing country. It’s a pleasure to see it again in your video. I can’t wait to see your next post !

[@KayAndDomDoLife]

Thanks so much Kim. We've wanted to come for so long so had to do as much as we could to make it happen! 😊

[@annawitter5161]

Also want to reduce my waist! Back to the 25 inches it used to be! LOL! Thanks for an awesome vid, guys! Excellent photography and my fingers are itching for my paint-brush!

[@KayAndDomDoLife]

😂😂😂 That made us chuckle thanks Anna. Grab your paint brush and show us what you come up with! 😊

[@eleanor-reads]

The shiny stuff is mica! Loving all these NZ vlogs.

[@KayAndDomDoLife]

That's so cool, thanks for identifying it for us, and thanks so much for the support 😊

[@sydney6488]

Wow, I can't get over how amazing nature in New Zealand is!😍 Lots of Love from Switzerland😘

[@KayAndDomDoLife]

Hehe it's a very pretty place! I bet you're used to the mountains though being from Switzerland 😍❤️

[@sydney6488]

Haha, I'm probably more used to it that some people I suppose, but I'm from the city, so compared to other swiss I don't see very many😂

[@annacleghorn8482]

Stunning footage. Love all that you are able to do. What walk were you on to see the Glacier. That was so beautiful and how long was it. Oh, and I think its great seeing several days. :)

[@KayAndDomDoLife]

Thanks so much Anna 😊😊 The walk is called the Rob Roy Track and the DOC website reckons it's 3-4 hours for the entire track, though we had to stop at the first lookout because of avalanche risk (May-November). Here is the link for the walk 😊 www.doc.govt.nz/parks-and-recreation/places-to-go/otago/places/mount-aspiring-national-park/things-to-do/tracks/rob-roy-track/

[@annacleghorn8482]

Thank you so much! So appreciate you giving me the link. :)@@KayAndDomDoLife

[@kristaknowles1883]

So beautiful! I especially enjoyed seeing the ducks :)

[@KayAndDomDoLife]

Hehe thank you! The little duck that stood on Dom's foot was so cute! 😂

[@sevenpointfive5450]

great video and footage

[@KayAndDomDoLife]

Thank you, we're happy to hear that! 😊

[@Connor8ness]

Dom didn’t seem so sure that you’d had to go back queenstown?...... love your videos as always!

[@KayAndDomDoLife]

It's that magnetic feeling that Queenstown has... we can't seem to get away from the place!! haha

[@LibbyWithnall]

NZ is such a beautiful country. We’ve been lucky enough to visit a number of times and have done a couple of cruises over to there as well. I definiltey plan to hire a motorhome and fully explore one day. The bunnies and baby ducks were so cute. Absolutely loving these vlogs :-)

[@KayAndDomDoLife]

It definitely is so beautiful! We'd highly recommend your plan to come and explore via motorhome. We love being able to take it all at our own pace and do what we want, when we want to. Super liberating! 😊😊

[@cathylynnpietranton]

Hello you two. another great video and such beautiful scenery safe travels

[@KayAndDomDoLife]

Thanks Cathy, so happy you enjoyed it! 😊❤️
