guys - thanks for watching, and THANK YOU FOR 100K!!! ✨we are sooooo grateful for every one of you and this journey - and this felt like a really special video to be celebrating. we are LOVING it here, and we can't wait to see more, and share more, of this amazing world with you x see you next week! (and THANK YOU TO GetYourGuide for hosting us on our cruise - check them out!)
Kea are such fun little monsters, they'll slide down snowbanks for funsies, and famously tear the rubber off your car. :) I heard a tale from a skier friend of a kea stealing an unguarded glove from the ground, flying it over to the edge of a drop off, and when the owner came to retrieve the glove, picking it up again and dropping the glove off the cliff. :D
It’s hard to get your head around that, from Queenstown, you drive 5+ hours to Milford Sound and when you get there you’re 76km (in a straight line) from where you started! 😳😂
@@nickandraychel RESPECT for stopping and sampling Monkey Creek. Quick story…. I stopped there with a bus load on tourists who partook of the waters. One of them mentioned the water was very cold, and, with the wit entrusted to tour drivers, I said ‘Yes, we have a refrigeration unit up the valley”. After a short pause he replied, “Very good!” 😳😂
New Zealand had a lot of caravan parks, where they were powered and allotted. They were owned by the local council and were in great places. With privatisation and selloffs the situation has really gone down hill. It of course, puts the remainder in higher cost. We, that used to do this kind of holiday, thinks the situation sucks. One might as well get a motel?
Greta video. As for the power bank you can get a really good one from any ironman dealer. Supercheap auto also sell an ok one. Although the ecoflow are easily the best but they are expensive. You could also look at a Makita inverter with a connectx battery pack which can be expensive but are 1400w
Congratulations on 100K, that's awesome. I have a fast charging Cigarette lighter charger i use while driving,or parked up. I live in my van ,and it's a life saver as well, no jeed to spend massive amounts of money on it,i think it has cost me less then $100 all up
Thank you! Sadly our cigarette lighter port doesn’t work 😭 may be a wiring issue that we need to sort out, but we can’t charge anything in there as it stands

Great video guys, really enjoyed watching. Milford Sound looks absolutely stunning!
Glad you enjoyed it! It is amazing.

Get some kawakawa balm, made with beeswax, even better than Manuka.
