Hi Peter, New Zealand is a fascinating country that smells as you might expect, clean and fresh. I'm pleased to be able to give you the occasional break from watching those all too familiar walls.
Thanks Tim. At eighty I don't think I'll be coming your way soon, but your films are the next best thing. Can't thank you enough. Pete on the Isle of Wight.
Hi Pete, I only live down the road in West Sussex. My son lives in New Zealand, so I visit whenever I can, although with the virus still around it could be a long time before I see him again. The isle of Wight a nice a place to live. I'm glad you enjoy these videos. All the best. Tim.
Hello Tim! This video is beautiful. Everywhere you look is untouched nature. I know that from my homeland, here I could show you hundreds of such places. Best regards from me from the Mühlviertel. Take care.
Hi, camper vans are great fun, especially in a country like New Zealand, with its wonderful scenery. I took a look at your channel, you post some really interesting stuff, I enjoyed "Forest Scenic Drive in Belarus".
Hi, I'm pleased you enjoyed the ride, maybe I'll ride the Sabarimala Route some day. I watched this video as I knew nothing about the road, it looks amazing - ua-cam.com/video/wz9rGoziQDE/v-deo.html
Hi, I'm pleased you enjoyed it, especially coming from Canada, a place that has a lot in common with New Zealand, both places having braided rivers, high mountains and glaciers.
@@janitaosmond5007 I caught the Canadian in January, we stopped over in Jasper for 4 days, to visit Lake Louise, go dog sledding, snow walking and exploring an Ice Canyon at night, we had a wonderful time, Canada is beautiful, even in the middle of winter. There are parts of New Zealand that are just like Canada, the main difference being the coastline and volcanic activity.
@@MrPeerum I'll ever be a millionaire and that rock will be enjoyed by many more people for a long time, but I'll be rich in wonderful memories and I'll be sure to make the most of this weekend. Best wishes. Tim.
@@Timsvideochannel1 You used to able to when I was young but I wouldn't advise it any more. With mass tourism came giardia and cryptosporidium. Introduced waterfowl (ducks, geese, swans) spread these around the waterways. Sad because when I look back the New Zealand I grew up in really was paradise by comparison with today.
@@te_piriti9220 Hi, I'm sad to here that drinking water from the rivers near the TeAnau to Milford Sound is no longer as safe as it was to drink. I've visited New Zealand every 18 months since 2005, I've seen changes during that time, especially to the road and motorway network, especially around Auckland, even along South Island's West Coast where the old wooden Road/Rail bridges have been replaced. Even the tourists have changed, when I first visited most tourists were European or Japanese, now they are mainly Chinese. The New Zealand you grew up in must have been wonderful, although its still a very special today.
@@Timsvideochannel1 Thanks Tim. I have enjoyed your clips from around the world, especially the rail footage. I just commented to point out that drinking from waterways in New Zealand is now considered a risky practice due to risk of giardiasis or cryptosporidiosis. As an aside I remember the mighty Ka and Kb steam engines that worked the midland line (what is now called the Tranzalpine) pulling the coal trains. They were a masterclass in how to shoehorn the maximum amount of power into a narrow gage engine. There is video footage of these on UA-cam if you are interested.

@@te_piriti9220 Hi, I’ve only visited one country where it is said to be OK to drink the water from the rivers, that was Montenegro, part of the former Yugoslavia. Montenegro looks like New Zealand, rugged and mountainous, I imagine it is how New Zealand looked in the mid 60’s. Thanks for the link, I loved the video. The first place my son lived after moving to New Zealand was Plimmerton, home to Mainline Steam’s Wellington Depot. Back in 2005 KA 942 was being restored there before moving to Christchurch to operate excursions to Arthur’s Pass. One of the depot staff used a diesel shunter to pull the locomotive out into the daylight for me to take photographs, it was a magnificent machine. In 2019 I was lucky enough to call in at the depot when Ian Welch was there, he showed me around, there was an ex SAR Garrett he hoped to be able to alter to fit within the NZR loading gauge, along with some exNZR carriages that had been used on the TranzScenic trains before the new stock was introduced. Just up the road is Steam Incorporated’s depot, my son couldn’t have chosen a better place to live from my point of view. I have only travelled behind and seen Ja and Ab Class locomotives in action in New Zealand. Ian Welch said I should travel on one of the excursion to Arthur’s pass with the Ka, as soon as it’s safe to travel again I will try to time one of my visits to coincide with an excursion over the Midland line. Take care. Tim.
@@Timsvideochannel1 I used to go camping at Easter at a place called Nundle. To get there, after turning off the New England Highway the road I drove on had, i think, about 5 one-lane bridges, but nowhere near as long as those in NZ.
@@neilforbes416 Hi Neil, one lane bridges are rare now, especially those that accommodate a railway as well. In the upcoming series of videos following New Zealand's West Coast we'll cross some very long one lane bridges and we'll see a train crossing one of them.
Thanks for the ride Tim!!! A wonderful journey!!! Peace!!!

Beautiful relaxing drive, from Canada!

I've always wanted to go to NewZealand. The opportunity hasn't come yet! Alberta here in Canada has the Columbia Ice Field

you can drink that water,pure and fresh.
You can drink the water straight from the river.

So many one-lane bridges!
I guess they are expensive to build.

@@Timsvideochannel1 I remember one, and I think I migt've seen it in one of your videos. I think it was of concrete costruction.
@@neilforbes416 The one I have in mind was wooden, although two metal bridges have also slipped in history.
