OMG, you guys are so positive despite the rubbish weather in my home city! You guys would love it in "normal" summer weather. When u return to the city of sails, get yourselves out to the Hauraki Gulf. Rangitoto is amazing, (Erupted just 600 years ago) and so is Waiheke island with its vineyards, cafes, and Tiri Tiri with its regenerated native bush and birdlife...
Aww you guys are troopers at making the most of the rainy weather! Stock footage for the win! We know will get back there with much better weather soon! How cute that you had Taco Bell for the first time. Things we take for granted.
You guys did such a great job of enjoying your time...even when the weather was far from ideal 😊💕 that wind and side rain was intense! All of the food you tried looked so delicious...and I was not expecting Taco Bell 🔔😁 we do enjoy it over here.
Tena Koe. Welcome. Just want to say to you both we just love, love love how you both have embraced the whole journey. And from the start of such an incredible life challenging moment from leaving behind family, friends and country to arrive in your new country with such enthusiasm, open mindedness and a lust for adventure. We are so proud to have you choose Aotearoa as the birth of your next journey. Am an avid fan and look forward to getting another shot of adventure addiction with such beautiful happy faces.
Love from Cape Town daughter and son in law in Auckland near Albany. Love seeing your adventures it sure rains there but that's what makes it beautifully green.
I did a food tour in Wellington back when I worked on a cruise ship, and I’ll never forget it 😅 literally one of the best tours I’ve ever done, so can’t wait to go back and also for Craig to experience it 🤗
Happy belated birthday 🎂🎉🍻 enjoy watching all your vlogs 🙌 I hope you get to check out the Bay of Islands soon. Rawhiti is where I'm from & we're blessed with such beautiful bays & bushes. Cheers 🍻☺👼
Firstly, happy belated birthday Chantz. Auckland looks so beautiful 😍 and I loved your closing lines. It really is true.... we create our own happiness. Hope 2023 is a fantastic year for you guys
The Silver Seas. I had the privilege of taking a ten day cruise from Ireland to Iceland last June. A friend works for the silver seas cruises and organised me “mates rates”. And finally I figured you guys were previously in good old Durbs.
Happy belated 🎂 birthday. Now that's the way to celebrate by eating your way in and around Auckland and sight seeing is a bonus 👌 Enjoy u your discoveries of New Zealand. Love the bloopers 😂🤣
Ughh I love my beautiful Auckland, I train to Sylvia park, ect.. our subway will be finished soon too thankfully so popping upto k rd and midtown from commercial bay will be so much better
"Dankie lieffie" that sounds so familiar! 😂🇳🇱🇿🇦 wow that's another amazing vlog I think we'll stay in Auckland for a couple of nights to explore the Kiwi city life over there. Enjoyed your video very much!!!
Hehe, dankie Thamar 😅 Auckland is everything we always wished for Durban city to be 🥺 It’s clean, safe and so many amazing restaurants, cafes and bars all around.
Absolutely loved watching this little city adventure you took us on! The food!!! OMGOSH I was drooling 🤤 just watching! Wish we had Taco Bell here in SA I think it would be a hit! What a lovely way to celebrate your Birthday! Can’t wait to see what you’ll get up to for Craig’s Birthday! 😂
If you guys are planning on travelling around nz over the next year, get yourself one of those coupon discount books. Covers everything from high end hotels to hire vehicles to restaurants and everything in between. They used to cost about 100 dollars but you only have to use it once or twice and you save that and more. From then on you save heaps. Sorry I can’t remember the name of the book. Quite thick and full of bargains. We visited Rotorua and had a fantastic hotel from the book and saved so much. 😊
Happy birthday Chantz.Wow that beach trip in the rain looked hectic but fun I'm sure. What if the bunny chow was introduced in NZ? If there are SA curry places there then maybe Chantz can venture out into serving bunny chows (just wondering).
Thanks Hemanth 😊 The beach trip was definitely worth it, even in the hectic weather. Apparently there is a well known shop selling bunny chows in Auckland 🤷🏻♀️ But yeah, would be cool to have a little SA restaurants in that food hall 🤗
Korean fried chicken I dont normally recommend cos its just unseasoned battered chicken covered in sauce, whereas my tastes in Auckland I go straight for the chicken salt on the chicken
Wow still raining. I had 4 weeks there from mid December to mid January. First two weeks were awesome, in Auckland, one week in Kerikeri that was mud, and the last week in Auckland, yep....more rain. Glad to be back in Brizzy and the sunshine 🌞 😳 By the way Happiest of birthdays.👍
Thanks so much Sam, I had a great birthday. The video was shot was 5-7 Jan. The sun actually came out this week, and the forecast says sun all weekend 🙏😅

Love the positive vibes. I’m a born n breed Auckland stuck in London for 22yrs. I miss that sideways rain :-)
Thanks so much 😊 we love Auckland 🤗

Thanks guys 😊 so happy to have found amazing stock footage 😅
We’ve always seen Taco Bell in movies, and finally we got to try it for the first time 🤗
You guys did such a great job of enjoying your time...even when the weather was far from ideal 😊💕 that wind and side rain was intense!
All of the food you tried looked so delicious...and I was not expecting Taco Bell 🔔😁 we do enjoy it over here.
😅 we’ve been deprived of Taco Bell in South Africa all these years 😂 we always saw it in movies etc, and finally got to try it for ourselves 🤗
@@BeingBedingfield 🙌😆 Taco Bell is definitely something we take for granted here!
Love your clips - Kiwi landscape is formed by this wild, sometimes warm/hot, sometimes humid, always stunning weather :-). enjoy NZ!
Thanks so much 😊 the Kiwi landscape is incredible, we’re in awe everywhere we go 🥰
@@BeingBedingfield fantstic! enjoy and all the very best.

Love from Cape Town daughter and son in law in Auckland near Albany. Love seeing your adventures it sure rains there but that's what makes it beautifully green.
Thanks for watching all the way in Cape Town Margi 😊 have you been to visit your daughter?
Yes, NZ is beautifully green, so we don’t mind the rain 😅
A couple of great ideas for my Auckland trip in Dec / Jan Thx guys ...........

I love your attitude it's so authentic and I'm really enjoying your videos 🌸
I JUST LOVE YOU GUYS... Fan from Namibia
Happy belated birthday from Modimolle. Love your videos and your zest for life, new adventures and appreciation of nature.
Thanks so much Glenys! We only live one life, trying to have as many adventures as possible 😅
You have to come to Wellington . If you love food you will love the restaurant and cafe scene here . The harbour is also amazing
I did a food tour in Wellington back when I worked on a cruise ship, and I’ll never forget it 😅 literally one of the best tours I’ve ever done, so can’t wait to go back and also for Craig to experience it 🤗
@@BeingBedingfield not sure how long ago that was but Wellington is always changing . I highly recommend you dine at El Matador .
Yes for sure Wellington is so nice to roam around, I recall they call it windy Wellington. Can't wait to get there again.
@@thamarvandeelen2517 Wellington is actually the windiest city in the world. But you can't beat Wellington on a good day 👍😀
Happy Birthday!! We will arrive in Auckland in 1 week, and appreciate your video of all the places to try out a lot!!
Oh wow!! How are you guys feeling?
Happy belated birthday 🎂🎉🍻 enjoy watching all your vlogs 🙌 I hope you get to check out the Bay of Islands soon. Rawhiti is where I'm from & we're blessed with such beautiful bays & bushes. Cheers 🍻☺👼
Thank you so much 😊 Bay of Islands is so beautiful and we can’t wait to explore more 🤗 amazing that you get to live in such a stunning area 🥰
Firstly, happy belated birthday Chantz. Auckland looks so beautiful 😍 and I loved your closing lines. It really is true.... we create our own happiness. Hope 2023 is a fantastic year for you guys
Thanks so much friends 🤗 yes, here’s to making our own happiness in 2023 🥂🥳
So many food places and so many beers and not even a dent on what’s out there 😂 many more still to explore, but a good effort 👏
Things kiwi's learn to live with are steps & weather, not whether. Sometimes beauty comes at a cost so make the most of it. Happy birthday.
Beauty is definitely more rewarding if you had to work for it 😅

For a little city ( by world standards) Auckland does have a bit of class. Happy Birthday ... hope you get good weather on your next visit.
We love Auckland 🤗 can’t wait for another weekend away in the city, and yes, better weather would be nice 😂
Ughh I love my beautiful Auckland, I train to Sylvia park, ect.. our subway will be finished soon too thankfully so popping upto k rd and midtown from commercial bay will be so much better
Yeah, Auckland is beautiful 🤗
The subway will be so amazing!!

Lol Auckland is definitely not little love, the city stretches over 70 kilometres from south to north, now that is a long city 🤷

Where is your go to place for chicken?
I wish I could get away from loadshedding. It is so bad now.
