Autumn Leaves Road Trip in Japan: Hidden Gems
For years it’s been a wish of mine, to see the famous autumn leave foliage in Japan. So we set out for a road trip to eat all the delicious food and relax. We’ve visited Osaka and Kyoto before, and opted instead to go off the beaten path, to find hidden gems and cultural treasures in rural Wakayama.

New Zealand road trip: Milford Sound, Scenic Flight, Mt Cook
Переглядів 142 тис.Рік тому
When the borders reopened in Oct 2022, we went for a road trip to New Zealand. After flying into Queenstown, we stayed at the Fiordland Lodge near the Fiordland National Park. The next day we drove to Milford Sound where we had a wonderful cruise. The following day we fed the animals at Deer Park Heights and went for a scenic flight to Mount Aspiring. Afterwards we explored Queenstown. Our road...

    Also surprised by how few cars seemed to be on the road. Is that right? Does not seem crowded at all

    • @bartandcarmen
      @bartandcarmen 7 місяців тому

      Thanks to NZ’s isolation there’s only limited visitors that arrive by mostly airplanes. Keep in mind that we visited right after the borders reopened and visitors weren’t at previous levels yet. Also, most of the population of NZ lives in the North Island. It does get very crowded during the school holidays or long weekends, but in Oct you’re in the shoulder season - note early Oct has school holidays!

  • @jasdua3775

    Really helpful video guys. We’re going in late October also. Really interested to hear how long this trip took as we only have 7-8 days. Any suggestions?

    • @bartandcarmen
      @bartandcarmen 7 місяців тому

      The video covers a timespan of only 5 days. I’ve been before and knew where to go. With 7-8 days I’d focus on either south/north island only. Queenstown-Christchurch (and reverse) is a popular route, you can’t go wrong with that. It’s easy to rent a car without return fees (one-way). Would have loved to stay longer in Te Anau to explore the glowworm caves and explore the night skies of lake Tekapo. You could extend with a day trip to Hamner Springs (thermal pools) or Kaikoura (beautiful ocean vistas and whale spotting).
