  • We were originally only planning on making one video from our stay in Auckland, but for several reasons we ended up having to turn it into two separate videos🤦‍♂️😂 Hope this one from our rainy days in and around Auckland didn't bore you too much - it wasn't supposed to be a video at all🤣
    Anyway, we've fallen in love with you, Aotearoa New Zealand❤️
    Our FAVORITE Spicy Korean Braised Tofu (Dubu Jorim) recipe: www.maangchi.com/recipe/dubu-...
    We are Oskar & Dan, two boys from Sweden who decided to change the course of our lives, drop out of university, and live life full-time🧔🏻👱🏻‍♂️ We've been together for eight years and have been traveling together pretty much since day one✈️ We're trying to see and learn as much about the world as possible before we settle down and start a family👨‍👨‍👧‍👦 In 2022, we completed our goal of visiting 100 countries at the age of 25🌍 Check our CZcams About page for more details👨🏼‍🤝‍👨🏻❤️

    New Zealand was country 100🌍
    We began our trip in Queenstown before making our way up the South Island to Wanaka, Lake Pukaki, Mount Cook, Lake Tekapo, Christchurch, Bank's Peninsula and more. We then hopped over to the North Island to finish the trip in Auckland and the surrounding areas. As explained in this video, our original plan included visiting many more places like Kaikoura, Abel Tasman National Park, Picton, Wellington, Rotorua, Bay of Islands and more. But that's for next time when we have more time to spend!
    0:00-0:39 Intro
    0:40-3:16 We're in Auckland!
    3:17-10:13 Our rainy excursion to Tawhanarui National Park
    10:14-12:30 Back in the city - amazing restaurant but rain won't stop pouring
    12:31-13:13 Thank you for watching this waste of space
    Thank you for watching!🙏😍

      😂😂😂 yes it validates my thoughts on NZ … honestly when you announced country 100 I rolled my eyes with disappointment… Let me explain
      We live in England my English husband refuses any kinda travel in the Uk 🇬🇧 but he would like to go to NZ and I told him No I’m not flying that many hours to see more grass! We can just go to Ireland (which he has never been, I have many times I m mix Irish and have family there) or go visit your mum in Yorkshire it’s the same! Grass and 💩s 😂 our daughter laughed so hard when she overheard me watching you announcing and I was like “what the F is this a joke? Then I watched Queensland vlog and you wan me over you sold it to me! Our daughter was shocked and needless to say so was the hubby laughing his head off 🎉😂 and now this episode comes along !!!! I was right all along it’s like Yorkshire 🤣🤣🤣🤣

    My mom's mom was getting to the point where she couldn't travel far anymore and wanted to take a last big trip in the US. Understand, she was born in a 2 room dirt floor shack in southeast Iowa and had been to Europe, lived in San Francisco, and wanted to go to someplace she'd never been. Talking with her and my mom, we realized neither of us had been to New Orleans. As people who had grown up in a west bank of the Mississippi city, it became obvious where we would go. As the plane landed, the clouds let loose and it rained almost every minute of our trip. We had the best of times together. You got sprinkled on! I've been back to NOLA many times and can confirm the sun shines there and it is such a different vibe. You already know you have to go back, please do it outside of the rainy season there. I'll be thrilled to go for the ride with you two.

    IMHO the North Island has its own unique charms such as a visitors ability to meet more Maori's and experience and learn about their culture; the volcanic features of Rotorua, the various types of boat trips (and dolphin swimming) in Paihia in the Bay of Islands at the very north of the North Island; the unique art deco building of the once badly damaged by an earthquake Napier; the stunning cities of Auckland and Wellington; it also has it's own glow worm caves. It's no less interesting than the South Island which of course has the stunning Southern Alps; just different and I wouldn't have missed experiencing it for the world.
