Hi Richard, this was the debut video from our New Zealand tour but you'll need to go back 6 years worth of videos to see our very first vlog from Castleton in Derbyshire. Good to hear you think we're fitter and tanned!! 😀 As we sit in our Motorhome tonight in snowy Austria I think the tan has most definiely faded!! 🤣 cheers...Andy&Michelle
Wow, can’t believe how things have changed! We went to Waitomo Caves in 2006. Drew up in our campervan without booking, paid our money (not expensive as we were on a budget) and were given wetsuits to put on. We changed behind a curtain in a Nissen hut which housed the office and off we went. Fantastic experience with rapids which we shot in an inner tube and millions of glow worms. I suppose that’s progress🤷🏼. The world’s got smaller and opportunities to make money have increased. Looking forward to seeing the next instalment.
To be fair we didn't realise it was tubing, everything was fully booked anyway but we'd have loved to do that😀 we'll have to go back! 😀 cheers...Andy&Michelle
Wow wow and a little bit more wow. Definitely the holiday of a lifetime. I have a feeling this series will be epic. I can definitely see Michelle in a Porsche. She’s one of the classiest chicks we know 😂 can’t wait to see the rest of your journey 😍
It was the Holiday of a lifetime but all we talk about now is how we can get back there again! We miss the adrenaline fixes!! Better get saving for a Porsche! 🤣 cheers 😍
Really enjoyed this Andy and Michelle. We were there 7 years ago. I recognise many places on your intro. It's a pity Waitomo Caves were fully booked. It's an amazing experience. We have our Kiwi friends staying with us at the moment from Auckland. Going to show them your vid on the TV tonight. Looking forward to seeing your next adventure in New Zealand. 😊
Glad you enjoyed it, if we get back over we’ll do it next time, like the look of the rafting tubing experience, hope your friends enjoy 😀 cheers…Andy&Michelle
Wowzers !! 2 minutes in and : From the Intro it looks like you are giving this trip your all. How exciting , thrilling , comprehensive . Can't wait any longer to see the rest. Well done.
We have been watching you two for a while now and are inspired by your travels. Keep up the good work 😂 lol. Amazing journeys and great content. Apperol spritz is my favourite.
Cracking intro to the tour, we recognise a lot of those places from our tour in Jan-Feb. The waterfall in the terminal as well as being very beautiful also acts as natural air conditioning for the building. Can't wait for the next one.
Well, I decided to watch the first one so I only have the second to catch up on! All that flying time!! I'll have to prepare myself well in advance for that experience! I thought eight hours to New York was a jaunt but 24 hours more or less it took you to get to Auckland!! So looking forward to this series of videos! Onwards and upwards!! Take care, hugs xxx 😉😀
You have to think of the flight as 2 x 12 hour flights, 24 does sound too much to get your head around! we did break the journey by 1 night on the way out in Singapore and 6 weeks in SE on the way back😀 x
Hi M&A, WOw really love the intro.🥰 Had fun recognising the places. Fabulous vlog. Singapore looked amazing, sadly it is only a transit stop for us. A great start to your NZ adventure. As always looked forward to next weeks Tongariro Crossing, an amazing 1 day hike. From your kiwi NZ friends D&D 🇳🇿🤗🫶
Hi D&D, we thought about NZ'ers recognising all the places in the intro😀 did you get them all? How long is your Singapore transit? from the other Terminals it's 10 mins max on the sky train to the waterfall (the worlds largest indoor waterfall - forgot to mention that in the video! ) , but don't miss your connection! Yes we were lucky to properly start our New Zealand adventure with one of the iconic hikes, cheers...Andy&Michelle😍
Even the trip out there looks pretty epic !! Ive been looking at a long haul for us to do in September and was thinking of Singapore for the F1 🏎🏁 Grand Prix... After watching this episode im thinking lets get booked 🤩 🚐💨❤
@@ExtremeMotorhomingAdventures - we've done north to south Vietnam and Cambodia and we will go back one day but we fancy the phillipines or somewhere new while we're that far over 😁 🚐💨❤
@@jovijourneys Cheers both! 😃👌OMG.. it was definitely a trip of a lifetime!! What an incredible adventure… can’t wait to share it all. You’ll soon be booking flights over !! ✈️😂
Thanks, really appreciate that. we were concerned about putting such a long intro in but there's so much in this series we wanted to showcase it, Cheers...Andy&Michelle
We soon learn't not to shop at Countdown after we found "Pack n Save" which is more like UK prices. Must have been amazing to live there😀 cheers...Andy&Michelle
New Zealand,and Singapore look amazing, going to be a great series, have you found a place you would like to settle down in when you stop traveling,or just keep on traveling 🍻🍻
Maybe one day but that will be a very long time in the future, there’s so much to see around the world so while we are able we’ll keep on travelling 😀 cheers…Andy&Michelle
Howd you find the North Island roads. the land of road cones and pot holes and stop go men. You look like you've enjoyed yourselves, and got some good weather. We all take it a bit for granted here. But we know how to charge for the tourist dollar. Your videos are great. Just going through your earlier holidays. Keep up the good work. Rob and Nadine
Hi Rob & Nadine, we had a fantastic time, 2 months wasn't enough so we'll have to come back someday. We were warned about the roads but actually you have less pot holes than the UK! 😀 Good to hear you're enjoying the videos😀👍🏻 cheers...Andy&Michelle
2 😱 but we inadvertently went to the most expensive shop for our first big shop where we needed everything from salt and pepper to loo roll extra bedding and wine glasses! Cheers…Andy&Michelle
Hey A & M, I have only just realised this is your debut vlog - you sure have become a bit more fitter & tanned - thank you both for a good chuckle x

Ah, the start of a great adventure I expect 👍
Yes , it was a pretty full on 8 weeks of adventure 😀
Wowzers !! 2 minutes in and : From the Intro it looks like you are giving this trip your all. How exciting , thrilling , comprehensive . Can't wait any longer to see the rest. Well done.
Thank you 😊 on this trip we definitely had the mantra "Go Big or go Home" we went for it!! 😀 cheers...Andy&Michelle

Thank you! Great to hear you are enjoying our channel, hmmm, sun is shining right now, must be Apperol o’clock! 🍹Cheers…Andy&Michelle
Wow what an amazing episode we loved it. Can’t wait for the next one. Michelle my hair does the same thing (I turn in to Monica) it’s the humidity 😂😂😂
Glad you enjoyed it😀 I don’t know what all the fuss about the hair is though, I don’t have any problems ! (Andy speaking- no menopause and no hair! 🤣)
Cracking intro to the tour, we recognise a lot of those places from our tour in Jan-Feb. The waterfall in the terminal as well as being very beautiful also acts as natural air conditioning for the building. Can't wait for the next one.
So many great facts about the waterfall 😀 I forgot to say in the video that its also the worlds tallest indoor waterfall, cheers...Andy&Michelle
I wondered how much longer you’d keep us waiting 👏👏👏👏👏
Yes sorry it took so long, hopefully worth the wait, it’s going to be a good series 😀 cheers…Andy&Michelle
@@ExtremeMotorhomingAdventures 👍👍

Yes it was an adventure just getting there, the return was even better but we did have a 6 week layover in SE Asia! 😀 cheers…Andy&Michelle
@@ExtremeMotorhomingAdventures - LoL if your gonna go GO BIG eh 🌎 ✈
Not tempted to tag on a quick Vietnam while you are over in Singapore? It’s only a couple of hours away!
@@ExtremeMotorhomingAdventures - we've done north to south Vietnam and Cambodia and we will go back one day but we fancy the phillipines or somewhere new while we're that far over 😁 🚐💨❤
Yeah I think the Philippines or Borneo will be our choice next time 😀
Have waited so long to see this trip!! looks epic!! 🤩 looking forward to the next video!

Thanks, really appreciate that. we were concerned about putting such a long intro in but there's so much in this series we wanted to showcase it, Cheers...Andy&Michelle
Great vid as always 😀👍🇬🇧.Every time I thought “ I wonder how much that cost ?”
A second later the answer popped up on the screen 😀👍❤
Great to hear that, we try to look at the video from the viewers point of view😀 glad you enjoyed 😀 cheers…Andy&Michelle
Thats awesome. Cant believe I just missed you in Singapore and I pick up my new Cathargo 145 from Zion in November. If you go back drop me a line.
There’s not many Carthago’s on the road in NZ so you are going to stand out 😀 we’ll be back one day, amazing country 😀 cheers…Andy&Michelle
Looks incredible guys - fabulous intro. Busy planning our own trip right now!
How exciting, hope you have as good a time as us, it was amazing 😀cheers…Andy&Michelle

Can't believe the price at Waitomo! When we went, it was about $10!! Though that was about 18 years ago 😂 Great video guys ❤
Glad you enjoyed the video, it’s a good job we like hiking (free) 🤣 cheers…Andy&Michelle
🙏
Thanks Alan😀
Wow nothing more to say
Thank you 🤩 Andy&Michelle
$520 for groceries! How many are you feeding!!!
2 😱 but we inadvertently went to the most expensive shop for our first big shop where we needed everything from salt and pepper to loo roll extra bedding and wine glasses! Cheers…Andy&Michelle
