    Hello there you two! Glad to make your acquaintance. This popped up on my Recommendations the other day - watching it again. My family from near here. Watched two other videos of you - now hooked! I'm a little bit of a Johnny-come-lately but I want to hop onboard your adventure bandwagon too; so I have a little catching up to do. Isn't it a nice feeling to have, the travel-bug! Might get me started again. Take care.

      @PeterandYen  4 года назад

      The kauri trees are truly spectacular. They live for so long and they have such an interesting growth curve. Starting their life skinny then becoming tall and once they mature becoming thick and short while co existing with the rest of the forest... Amazing

What a lovely fish shop. We would be all over Yen's plate. 2,000 years old?! That's amazing. We would want to see that too. It's so sad when the camera don't make justice what an experience.

      @PeterandYen  4 года назад

      Hahaha hiking in sandals is all good as long as it's not wet 😁 winter here in New Zealand means there's a lot less people at the tourist activities so we've been lucky in getting a lot of these attractions to ourselves. Fish and chips is a solid choice 😁👍 tane mahuta is definitely something you appreciate even more in person ❤🌿😊

      I have a photo from about 30 years ago of a friend standing right in front of Tane Mahuta before they stopped people doing that. You really get a much better Idea of the size when you see a tiny person right up next to it.

    Another great video from your NZ series! Definitely makes me wanna visit! Wish the situation gets better real soon so we can travel safely and enjoy the beautiful views there! That is definitely a beautiful looking forest - straight out of a fantasy movie! You must be a skilled hiker haha, you’re wearing sandals and make the walk through the forest seem very easy! The fish and chips looks absolutely amazing - i haven’t had fish and chips in a long time and this is making me hungry! $90 is definitely a great deal for accomodation! Great video once again! ♥️ take care!

    • @PeterandYen
      @PeterandYen  4 года назад +1

      Heya ray how's everything going with you? Usually fish n chips are eaten with tomato sauce or aioli. Don't hear of anyone eating with vinegar. Maybe you're onto a new trend 😁👍

    • @raywayski
      @raywayski 4 года назад

      Peter and Yen Like you guys, 2020 has been a year of cancelling trips! With the recent uptick in virus cases in the US, we decided to cancel our short Grand Canyon trip. By the way, the Brits eat fish and chips with malt vinegar.... so vinegar is served in the US with fish and chips. I always eat my French fries with ketchup unless I’m having fish and chips. Any more cooking videos in the near future?

    • @PeterandYen

      @PeterandYen  4 года назад

      Nah lots of the islands have their own version of the raw fish and call it something different. In Raro it's ika mata but like in Samoa it's called oka 🙂👍 Peter loves that stuff, it is rather tasty!
