New Zealand: Lake Wanaka to West Coast

  • Traveling New Zealand's South Island: Lake Wanaka is a popular recreation destination, the town is quaint but modern with several lodge style accommodations ranging from affordable to high end. Eating out can get expensive here, if you're a budget traveler like us, opt for buying your own groceries, you'll find fair prices at the main grocery store, New World.
    The area is gorgeous, stunning snow-capped mountains and lake views can be enjoyed from most areas in the town. If you're up for a hike, Mt Iron offers a 360 degree view of the area. If you prefer a gentle walk, the walk track along the lake is lovely. For rest and relaxation, the narrow stretch of sandy beach along the lake is a wonderful place to unwind.
    After spending a couple of days in Lake Wanaka, we head north-west on HWY 6, through Haast Pass, to the west coast and north into glacier country.
    xoxo,
    Christine

    I love New Zealand, can't wait to go back. Every time I see a video of something I realize how close to something amazing I was while I was busy looking at something else that was also amazing.

    New Zealand almost doesn't look real! It's so beautiful. I can't believe how clear the water is in the lake. Gorgeous. I could just sit there all day & take in the lake and waterfalls. Shame the prices are so outrageous on the makeup. Stay safe & love the videos.

  • @beeutiffle
    @beeutiffle 10 лет назад

    So cool you are in NZ and so weird to see you talking about our stuff! The mascara is dear as Wanaka is a small town and they charge a premium in those sort of places as it all has to get trucked in and there isn't a lot of competition.

    I have an old high school classmate who migrated to NZ for over 10 yrs now. Maybe I should reconnect with her and give me more reason to visit there. Such a lovely country, but I still like Maui or any islands in Hawaii :-). When are you guys going home to Maui? You guys are so lucky and make such a good couple/travel buddy. Stay safe as always...

    Girls from NZ think ur makeup is expensive ..do u know how much this mascara in Egypt cost it's from 95-80 Egyptian pound !!!

    • @maddiek1980
      @maddiek1980 10 лет назад

      95 Egyptian pounds equates to about NZ$16.70, so it's still more expensive in NZ.

  • @sparklefarter
    @sparklefarter 10 лет назад

    Their price on make-up really is kinda outrageous! But I do know they have a higher wage so that's why and probably other reasons too. :/ Just like Canada has their high tax rates and duty fees which are BLAH! That waterfall stream was beautiful! I definitely wouldn't mind be stranded there either! lol!
