847 to go now... Sorry nick, but it's only 9 hours long (3 x 3 hours). I was going to suggest if we get to 2,000 likes we make it the extended boxset with extra 2 hours of footage...!! (Comfy beanbag and potato chips required..!!)
Awesome! Seeing the LOTR movies in the theaters, but more specifically the Edoras scenes, is what started an obsession with me wanting to some day visit NZ. Finally got to do it a couple years ago, and of course visited this place. What a beautiful location!
I don't think I could suggest anything you haven't already done. We were only in Christchurch for two days - the first day we just did some touristy sightseeing around the city and the second day was our trip out to Mount Sunday. We had to squeeze both the North and South islands into a two-week period, and I was definitely envious of all the Europeans we ran into down there with their long-ass vacations, haha.
Those mountains look like they're straight out of a painting. So stunning. So lovely. So...wow :) Lol Nick has company...I haven't seen any of the Lord of the Rings movies either! Matter of fact, I wasn't even sure what you meant by "LOTR" in the video title :)
I've just discovered your channel (watched one day on Iceland video, and its NO.1 on my bucket list). I really love your videos, they are so calm and inspiring. It made me sad when you said that this video will never gonna make to 1000 likes, because it should. Many youtubers out there have much greater numbers (and that's just annoying cuz not all of them are good), but you need to know that there are always gonna be wanderers out there who will watch and LOVE your vlogs! Suscribed and LIKED this video (make him watch LotR! He must!!)!! You have really made me happier today! :) Greetings from Serbia!
So jealous! This is the LOTR location that I want to see the most. When I visit NZ, I have a tour booked that is bringing us to a bunch of different LOTR filming spots. I remember watching behinds the scenes on Two Towers and they said it was always windy on top of the mountain which made it difficult to film sometimes. Seems like you didn't miss out on the wind haha
Don't worry Nick, I haven't seen Lord of the Rings either. But I don't live in New Zealand, so I have a little more of an excuse. You should definitely watch it. Mari, I promise to watch them before I go to NZ. :) -Brian
Hey Mari, hope you've been well! Loved the vlog! An ice cream you might want to try is called Halo. It's delicious and only like 250ish calories per pint, it's super light but definitely helps when desperate for an ice cream fix (we've all been there) haha It's also a protein-forward ice cream so you get like 25g of protein, if that matters at all lol. #gains?
Do you know that you can make really tasty banana ice cream by freezing chunks of banana for a few hours and whizzing them up in a food processor until creamy with some cocoa. I eat it all the time!
Yeah Nick definitely should watch the Lord of the Rings Trilogy (he can skip the Hobbit Trilogy). But you might not want to watch it all at once since they are such long movies.
Are you kiddin me!? Never seen LOTR?? Might as well left him up there. . hahaha I'm gonna like this vid only so it can increase the chance for him to watch The Fellowship... Like, why other reason would anyone go visit New Zealand than to witness the epic LOTR scenery? ? lol Anyways, was that location cold? Normally when I see windy areas like that i'm thinking it's rather nippy..but then again you're in regular clothing, so how cold can it be... Keep these vids comin!
Mari, how is the road to Mt Sunday? We will be there next year, we're renting a motorhome and this is one of the sites I want to visit straight off the plane. Nick even without 1,000 likes you should watch LoTRs, even better read the books first, then watch!
Boooooooo!!!!! My wife and I are probably going to Auckland next month for a long weekend, gonna go to Waiheke Island, and Matamate (Hobitton), never been to Matamata before.
Hey guys!! Let's get this video to 1,000 likes so that Nick will have to watch LOTR!! As I'm writing this, only 876 more to go!! 😂👍😀
847 to go now...

I LIKED!
This needs to be in writing that he's to watch the film as soon as this vid hits 1k! No backing out :p

So cool! Glad you got a chance to go. Any other locations nearby I should go check out?!

Yes Nick needs to watch LOTR!!!
We climbed up Mount Sunday the other day. Beautiful but the sunburn was so very real!
Nice! Ah yeah the sun here is no joke!
Koolness

I adore New Zealand; I visited Wellington, back in 2011, for some LOTR film locations too.
Of course instant Like, Beautiful scenery and Great vlog, be Blessed

Thanks fo the LOTR tour! Must visit New Zealand before I get to old!
Yes, you must!

Hi Marko!! Aw thank you so much for the sweet message. Sending so much love to you in Serbia!
I struggle so much walking in jandals, so kudos to walking all the way up there in them!!
Um, Nick definitely needs a LOTR marathon! I've been dreaming about visiting New Zealand ever since I first saw them :)
Me too! Those movies are seriously one of the reasons I wanted to come here in the first place!
Spectacular scenery great camera work!
Thanks Wayne!
What a cool video. I live not to far away from where you went. NZ is a beautiful place, so beautiful I've never been out of here lol
You’re lucky to be from such an amazing place!
Is anybody else naked in their kitchen chopping onions?
I was really hoping to see "Music: Nick and his ukelele" - Hahaha, awww no ice cream! 😕
haha well insider secret: MrSchedule is Nick haha. Joke name, but he really did make the music for the whole video!
So jealous! This is the LOTR location that I want to see the most. When I visit NZ, I have a tour booked that is bringing us to a bunch of different LOTR filming spots.

ha yep, I can attest to that. Super windy!
I added my like to Nick watching LOTR :P
Freeze bananas, then put them in the blender with some cacao powder and sprinkle coconut flakes on top - so delicious! :) 🍌🍫
I love doing that! We weren't eating fruit either, but the 30 days are over! Woo! Now I just need to get a blender.. haha
Don't worry Nick, I haven't seen Lord of the Rings either. But I don't live in New Zealand, so I have a little more of an excuse. You should definitely watch it. Mari, I promise to watch them before I go to NZ. :) -Brian
haha not a requirement to visit the country, I just think they're enjoyable movies!

Hey! Ooh thanks, I'll try to find that!
Do you know that you can make really tasty banana ice cream by freezing chunks of banana for a few hours and whizzing them up in a food processor until creamy with some cocoa. I eat it all the time!
Ooh yeah! I've done that before - so good! We were doing a complete sugar cleanse, so no fruit even :( But we're back on now!
nick, there are no downvotes currently, guess you got to watch LoTR :D
Nick is depriving himself of the pure happiness that is Lord of the Rings 😢
Seriously!
👌👌👌
Yeah Nick definitely should watch the Lord of the Rings Trilogy (he can skip the Hobbit Trilogy). But you might not want to watch it all at once since they are such long movies.

Keep these vids comin!
It was a warm day but very windy at the top. Not too cold fortunately :)
Going in November. Is it hard to hike?
Nice! No, it's not too far to the top

Nick even without 1,000 likes you should watch LoTRs, even better read the books first, then watch!
It was pretty easy to get to I think!
freedom!!!
FYI Frodo was never at Edoras.
Mari, you're so stinking cute. Enchanting video.
Nick better watch Lord of the Rings or i'll call the PM and get him deported to Australia.
BTW I spent about 2 weeks in that location filming Edoras.
haha. Oh cool! That's so awesome! What aspect did you work on?
What is wrong with Nick?! Tie him down and make him watch all 12 hours of the movie! By the way what brand are your sunglasses? i really like them :)
haha. Not sure, they're just some cheap ones I got at a small shop in Queenstown.
Has Nick watched LOTR yet?
Nope!
Boooooooo!!!!!
My wife and I are probably going to Auckland next month for a long weekend, gonna go to Waiheke Island, and Matamate (Hobitton), never been to Matamata before.
Frodo never went to Edoras 😜
Nick! Go watch Lord of the Rings!🏔
Bummer they didn't keep it built as a tourist stop or B & B......
