😂 I remember when we were staying in Vietnam for awhile and in this one accommodation we'd get the more regular rooster alarm around 4am every day 😅😅 in another it was temple chanting! I dunno which of the 3 is the most startling hahaha
Aww, I’ve recently discovered your channel and you two are just such lovely people!! ☺️ Your videos always brighten my mood and you just radiate such positive energy. Thank you for your content, you sure gained a new fan! 😄🌸
Hi guys, Oh I loved our tour today. Thank You for taking me along. I was giggling when Yen couldn’t take the train ride cos that’s so me. I don’t like walking much 😂 but we made it eventually to the end. 😅 Sandwiches was simple but delicious yummy and my favourite chocolate (fruit and nut) winning 👍🏼 Ahhhh I enjoyed watching.... Sending you both a huge hug for taking me like a child tagging along lol Stay Bless and hope lockdown does move from 2.5 to 1 and none soon. ❤️🌸❤️🌸
😁 can totally imagine you and yen riding along in the train 🚆 while the rest of us go for the walk 😂 you have great taste in chocolate 🍫 fruit and nut followed by almond followed by dairy milk 🥛 followed by peanut mmmmm whitikas 😍🤤 hugs back and take care much love have an amazing week ❤
Yea everywhere is not so busy since no overseas tourists and thankfully we have the luxury to visit places during the weekday too so even less busy than if we went on the weekend 😁👍 it was a cute bottle ay? Would make for a nice tall vase I thought 🙂
Yay travel again! Nice mask guys! Yup we're all smiling beneath! :P Wooooo very fine-looking ferry!! I'm sure you guys exercise-holics will walk/climb/jog/jump to your destinations. No sweat. 😆 Peter's jandals is back! What a cute birdie! Lunch time! Sorry being biased, Yen's Kaya bread is the winner! ;)
Thank you! We bought it from our friend's site Charlie's Laundry. If we gotta wear masks, it's nice to have some stylish ones too lol 😁 Aw man Peter is the fit one ay.. I swear he's making me go on all these walks to up my fitness levels again coz I've been so bad at working out since we sold our apartment that had a gym in it 😅😅 Hahahaha love it! 😂 Kaya wins any day ay 😉👍💕
Great vlog, I've always wanted to visit Rangitoto but it looks intimidating. Glad to see that I don't need to be super fit to do the trek. Auckland City seems to be always under construction 🏗, every visit there is always something new. Great video as always guys 👍👍👍
Auckland city is going under a massive transformation right now with the underground rail link and also quite a few new buildings. I think they wanna get most of it done before the America's cup. Rangitoto the volcano for all fitness levels 😂✌
@@PeterandYen The last time I was working in town, the Downtown plaza was already demolished, and those weird pedestrian crossings along Fanshaw, also the underground rail system was causing huge traffic delays, I think that was 2 years ago? I sooo don't miss working in town. I can't wait to do the Rangitoto trip tho. I laughed when you guys had yr PNB&J sandwiches, I was thinking at least a double decker egg sandwich with some chips and sparkling water😆. I've been watching heaps of Korean stuff on Netflix, so hopefully when I do my trip I can bust out my mediocre korean cooking skills and pack some bulgogi with sides 😆
Hahahaha woah jelly already just listening to that Korean lunch on top of rangitoto. Picturing multiple containers and opening up all the sides then the meat 🍖 and some rice 🍚 ooooooo man now I want Korean for dinner 😂 what have you done
@@PeterandYen Don't get me started, I can talk korean food for ages. I just finished watching Aaronandclare channel and he made pork belly, so I might have to revise my future Rangitoto lunch menu 😆 in the mean time I'm gonna finish my marmite toast boohoo 😞😄
What a fun outing! You had a beautiful and warm day (Peter is in shorts)! The location of your opening scene for the vlog sure brought back great memories of our trip! We stayed in a place at the waterfront overlooking the harbor. I now have a reference point of where Rangitoto Island is located. Our ferry passed by the island on our way to Waiheke Island (we may have even had a stopover at Rangitoto). Oh boy! NZ is moving up my list of places to go after this pandemic is over! Have you thought of partnering with NZ’s tourist bureau for these vlogs? Your vlogs about places to visit in NZ will certainly result in more people wanting to visit your beautiful country!
Arrr must have been an amazing stay right next to the harbor. That area has always been one of our favorite spots, the vibe is excellent especially during summer or when America's cup is on 😁👌 hahaha next time you're back in New Zealand maybe you will be able to visit rangitoto. Hahaha jandals and shorts are my preferred ways to dress in all seasons. Regarding reaching out to NZ tourism we are happy keeping this as a fun hobby of ours but if they wanted to contact us we'd be open to it 🤔😊 Cheers for watching Ray 😁👍
😁 yen n i love lil random days out like this. Somehow they end up really memorable when you think back what you did in the year thanks for watching Daryl 🤙
Great vlog, and the views are stunning, not a cloud in the sky, perfect hiking weather. Cool stores in the mall - alot of Malls in American look like this, in big cities in Europe, or maybe I'm just used to them - Be Healthy & Stay Safe
😁 hi Catherine 👋 yeah we're pretty used to seeing malls like this overseas too but for New Zealand its a first so a few people wanted us to vlog there. Spring in New Zealand now so its finally warming up a bit 👌
That does look like a gorgeous day. It's so grey and rainy here. Beautiful views from the ferry too. One hour to the summit?! Explorer tour for us. 😂 Peter, what's up with the sandals?! Haha Give it up. That's like the perfect lunch though.
Hahahaha so much support for that bus 🚌 the sandals reflect what I pretty much always wear 😅 this is why work gear did not suit me i always wanna be either in sandals or bare foot
Hahaha. Too slow Yen with the sandwich cheers. Peter's already taken a bite of his. Haven't been to Rangitoto so awesome to see your trip. Commercial Bay looks pretty flash eh. Would love to be there for the Americas Cup.
So pumped for America's cup 😁👌 can't wait to be hanging out in the viaduct while watching the races. So crazy that a lil country like ours wins this thing where people are spending absurd money 💰
@@PeterandYen Kiwi ingenuity at its best. Was there in 2000 when they defended it for the first time. Was an amazing experience and definitely a highlight of my life. Ticker tape parade was out of this world. They reckon 200 thousand people were there.
Was there in 2000 the atmosphere was amazing! Was also in the city the night all blacks won it back home 😊 great memories New Zealand is great like that, it feels like the whole country is behind our national teams
Definitely loved the vlog💯. Peanut butter and jam sandwiches takes me back to school😊Especially cute 10:58 that little bird to pop in and say hi😂 n 👋. Absolute love for you guys😘😘
There were so many birds 🐦 on the island which made sense because it's a pest free zone. The tuis and fantails were so cute. Take care n have a great week ahead Seliama
That was Peter replying, Yen here now! He didn't realise I added the little detail of hello and bye text to the bird in our outtro so totally misunderstood what you were saying 😂😂🐦 I thought it was cute popping in like that so I'm glad you noticed it!! 😁❤️ Thanks Seliama 😁💖🐦
😂that’s all good. You guys had a perfect day👌 it’s warming up here now so I’ll be wearing my jandals too😊. That bird definitely sounded like R2D2😂 love it🤙. Enjoy your week guys😘😘
Haha it did right?? 🐦😁 That's great to hear it's warming up over there too! Good to make it out of winter especially so with covid lingering around! Enjoy your week ahead too ❤️🙂
For me as a Western European, it is a mindf*** knowing that it is winter time there and you're walking around in shorts, a t-shirt and a light jacket (and jandals, of course) and that you have so much sunshine. Where I live, winter means dark, drizzly weather for months and temperatures around 10 degrees C, with the occasional nighttime freeze dip. Lovely made video, as always. Keep 'm coming!
😂 wow Western European winters sound a lil gloomy, we're lucky here in New Zealand you do get the odd sunny day even in winter. Our entire northland and North island road trip series was shot in it middle of winter with pretty decent weather. But it does get pretty chilly from time to time in the single digits even. Luckily on the day we climbed rangitoto it was around 14 degrees C. Thanks for watching and for the compliments appreciate it 😁✌
Yen is the person you want to be with when you're exploring. She's always prepared. Glad you guys made the ferry. It would be a bummer. That mall is at a different level and the food court looks awesome. Uuuffff... that spaghetti looks so so good.
Omg the biscuits are like one of my childhood favs 🙏🏽🥰🥰 Cant beat a good ole peanut butter sandwhich right?! Anyways omg that was too funny, the guys that missed the ferry :/ sad but funny at the same time 🙈 Anyway awesome vlog guys! See yous in the next one 🥰🙏🏽
Hahaha you and yen must have similar food tastes 😁 ahhh we found out later that the water taxi costs $450 so as long as you don't miss the last ferry you're still ok 😅
Wooo! nice view from the summit! Do you guys have beautiful day all the time? Seems like it in all of your videos!! Lol definitely don't want to miss the ferry and call for help haha!! Sure no spiders in the lava cave there Yen? :P Just a casual rocky terrain in NZ 7:57 that look like a scene from LoTR already.
Nah not such clear beautiful days all the time but this winter has been not so bad we found! Warmer weather generally (even though mornings and nights still cold) and less days of rain compared to other winters so we make the most of the good weather whenever we can 😁👍 We're lucky to get some beautiful sunny days in between 🙂 Aww man I did not want to stay long in that cave to run into any spiders or wetas 😅😅
an interesting Island guess those rocks from lava eruptions from the volcano over time is this volcano active packed lunch thats nice what no vegemite lucky no bats in that cave let alone spiders glad you didnt miss the ferry nice shopping mall there and a food hall no surprise you headed there *thumbs up like yes👍Au👍whole video watched*
Hahaha I don't think we have bats here in New Zealand Billy. I certainly haven't seen any. Spiders yes but luckily not so many of the poisonous massive kind like in aussie 😅 Island definitely has its charm
Hey Peter and Yen!! That's awesome you're out of lockdown, and cool you're checking out this island/Volcano!! We have to wear masks here in LA, and we will probably continue wearing them well into 2021 for sure. That's not a bad price for the tickets to take the ferry! That's crazy there are no shops there, but it's better for the environment. That volcanic rock is no joke! That sumit was cool, and love seeing the volcano crater!! Glad you brought your own lunch! That cave entrance was cool, and so awesome you went inside. Sucks there is construction at the shops, but the food court was nice. Thanks for taking us with you and lots of love to you both!!
Hey girls 😁✌ masks are good precaution in current times Thanks for tagging along with us to the top of the volcano 🌋 😊🤙 hahaha yup wouldn't wanna be stuck on the island overnight without any food or a working phone that wouldn't be nice 😅
Hey guys! So nice to see you guys out after the previous stage of lockdown in Auckland. Ahhh that’s amazing you guys have volcano island very near to the city. If we have something similar here and as soon as we are out of this dreaded lockdown, we will definitely go and get a fresh air. Hahaha peanut butter and jam sandwhiches dont cut it anymore for us, right? We need a big bowl or rice to carry for picnic lolll
😂 Yen n i are both pretty lazy when it comes to food prep so peanut butter 🥜 and jelly is all we could muster up 😁 yeah when you put it like that it makes the day trip even more special. Not everyday you're able to do something like this.
Great video of NZ as always! It's nice that you're able to see some nature during the lockdown. OMG, that new shopping mall looks fabulous! I'll definitely check it out when in Auckland; the design is so contemporary and stylish. Be safe, guys.
Thank you 😁👋 yea thankfully in level 2.5 we can travel again but thought we'd just stick to Auckland still in the first week at least. The new mall looks pretty flash ay? Nice to see Auckland step it up a bit! 👍🙂
Yay! no lockdown now!!! We are also finding tons of construction everywhere we go, most places are taking advantage now to get things done since there is not many people traveling around I think Lieles would get on the tour cart while we all walk lol Peter is still winter there no? wear shoes for the rocks and the cold lol Yen, you just reminded us of a crazy walk we did in a National Park in Croatia...really crazy
Yea definitely makes sense to make the most of the time when the roads aren't as busy as before! Auckland CBD feels like it's always under construction though 😅 something new every time 👍 hahah it's like the start of spring now so the weather is slightly warming up 😁 Peter would wear shorts like 24/7 if he could I reckon 😂 what was crazy about your croatia walk? Was it super challenging?
I love watching your videos. Went up the Rangitoto myself when I visited Auckland in 2019. It's cool to see you visit places I'v been, and you inspire me to visit new places next time. As for good places to eat in Auckland, I can recommend Food Truck Garage close by Sky Tower. Keep up the good work ;)
Thank you 😊 Glad you enjoy our videos! Awesome that we can bring back some good memories for you and show you a couple new places too for your next visit 🙂👍 oh yea food truck is great! We made a video there a very long time ago too! 👍
Hi Peter and Yen! Rangitoto island looks like such a fun little trip when you want to get out into nature but don't want to go too far away! I'm still blown away every time by how blue and green New Zealand actually is haha! Also really enjoyed that Yen sometimes throws in these fun little facts about the places you guys visit! :D
Hey Laura 👋🙂 It's a nice place to go for a lil walk for sure! Yea hahaha nz is very blue and green, looks real crisp and vivid especially when the weather is good 💙💚 lol thank you I'm glad you enjoy my little fact additions 🤓
Oh yeah, I (Andjas) remember this island and that black rocks, the view was also amazing! Then straight to the ramen restaurant near the pier area and also bobba too lol.
Cool Vlog guys I worked on the island in the shop back in the 1978 we used to go over after school on Friday’s and go back home Sunday arvo. On Saturday nights they used to do a dine and dance as well. Must go back it’s been at least 30 years since I was last there.
Rangitoto! Nice! So much construction aye! $39 return is not so bad. I haven’t been to Rangi either 😅 guilty. You guys are so cute packing your own lunches 😆. Oh is that commercial bay? Haha I used to go there (just to walk) but never knew the name of it 😂😅.
I wonder if anyone ever missed the boat back and got stuck on the island 🤔 since you mention that there aren't any shops I would be very scared of that 😅
I think you need a bigger mask there peter lol at your left ear. I know those feels Yen, I (andy) get sea sick too =( hahah always rockin the jandals. Nice one with the kaya bread. That's a cool cave! The design of commercial bay is so nice!
😂 the thing is my head is exceptionally wide so this is common for masks, glasses and hats to do this 😅 it is really nice to get a mall like this in New Zealand finally!
Two things - No.1- from Rangitoto island - if you intentionally miss the ferry can you camp overnight and then catch the ferry back the following morning - and No.2 - Shrewsbury's!....are you kidding me - I love those biscuits, I haven't eaten one since I moved overseas from NZ a long time ago.....anyway - I'm still chuckling over the people that missed the ferry.....I wonder what they were thinking when they saw the ferry leave. Thanks Peter & Yen, I enjoyed that.
Thanks Tooks! 😁💕 Shrewsbury biscuits are awesome ay! I love them too and go through periods just downing them 😂😂 lucky for those guys they didn't miss the final boat so just meant they had to wait 1 more hour but we could see them from the distance racing down to get to the boardwalk and then slowing when they saw the ferry pull away 😅😅 I do wonder how many people have had to camp overnight from missing the ferry or calling the after hours one out ay 😅
I briefly landed on Islington Bay (the bay links those two islands) years ago. I thought there is no climbing route on Rangitoto Island until I watched your video. Thanks for sharing your trip. ❤ Rangitoto will be our next destination. 😁
But in saying that not actually sure since didn't ask the store if you can bring it back for them to use. We know that you can do that in Australia but doesn't seem like something that's been adopted here in NZ yet.
hi loved this video , as fletcher said below i can imagine your amazing smiles under those masks , just love these not so touristy vids . still amazes me how slim you both stay . peanut butter and jam sandwiches ,tut ,tut, lol. take care both cant wait for next weeks dose of medicine ,,, haha cheers,
Hi Barry 👋 hahaha well trust us lockdown has definitely seen us both put on a couple of extra spare tyres especially me (Peter) 😂 been downing chocolate 🍫 bars at a pace you'd be shocked by 😂
wow what a site! beautiful. I get sea sick too Yen! I was so nervous going to Waiheke, my friends thought I was joking and were laughing at me, but it's a major fear because sea sickness is just not the greatest right?!
Oh my goodness as much as I enjoy Waiheke that ferry ride is so bad for me too Leah!! It starts as a splitting headache in the back of my head for me, works its way around and ends with me usually wanting to throw up 😅😅 is it about the same for you?
@@PeterandYen When we went over, it was so choppy and because we were going over for a hens do, the girls were just chatting about wineries and things I didn't want to think of! on the way home it was OK, not as choppy but I still sat there with my eyes closed and sunglasses on! can you believe I have also been on a cruise! never again.
Thank you amazing couple for bring us to Rangitoto Island and Commercial bay. Those places are so cool! I'm glad that you're enjoying life in an incredible way. By the way, your mask looks so cool! Lots of love!
Hi Mio 👋 it was a bit sad to see the emergence of cases here in Auckland but it's been great to see the majority of people taking precaution and getting those numbers down. Was nice to be out and about again after 😊 we purchased the mask from a friend of ours who makes them locally here in NZ we've left their site in the description. Thanks for watching and sending lots of love 💘 back!
chocolate is needed when walking lol, it gives you energy, good choice there Peter Yes, I wouldn't want to miss that ferry either Kinda scary for me, the darkness gets me like that. Lieles heard spiders and jumped hahaha Oh noo poor people getting stuck there If I pack a P&J sandwich for Lieles he would never walk again hahah
Oh man I honestly didn't even think about spiders until Peter mentioned wetas.. so it was thoughts of both from that moment on!! 😅 I'm so glad I didn't watch other rangitoto vlogs before we went on our trip coz in one there actually was a massive spider which is pretty rare to see here 😅 if I ran into that I would've freaked out for sure 😅🤣 Damn... Lieles and I have tons in common lolol 😁👍👍 thankfully that wasn't the final ferry of the day, there should've still been 1 more for the day but it meant they would've had to wait another whole hour after racing to try catch the one we just made!
Always wanted to go to Rangitoto , but somehow the terrain is too rough for my liking! Even rugged has limits eh! 😁. Yen, you inspire me! I could never trek that! I'd take that buggy up😂😂.
Another place for me to checkout always been fascinated by Rangitoto Island since i was a boy hey shouldn't be eating white bread hahaha thanks for letting us know you need to take food👍
Oh man... I feel Yen on getting motion sickness (on boats - for some reason I stopped getting motion sickness in cars - oddly got it after skydiving).. Was supposed to go on a 4hr boat ride once in rough seas and I couldn’t sleep the night before because of nervous anticipation...🥴🤢🤢 Great vid guys! Nice new mall...but we know the super malls in Asia (especially the food courts) are next level😁😋
😅 i think the worse case of motion sickness for yen was when she was super excited about playing project zero. So we got it played for a couple of hours and she had such bad motion sickness from the Playstation game 😅 so when you consider that cars and boats are like next level for her. How do you deal with your motion sickness Hans?
Peter and Yen oh man! Your project zero story reminded me of this long buried memory... years ago my sister bought me my first ever game console - the Wii... I went out and bought a game (Zelda), hurried home and started playing. Since my wife and I didn’t own a tv, I used my wife’s projector and projected the game on a wall... about 20 mins into it, I found myself running to the toilet to puke.. I ended up selling the Wii... and Zelda🤢. The worst part was I never even made it past the very first part where the elf character has to just enter the little portal thingy so the game can actually start. I just kept going in circles. Sometimes I still get queasy on the descent on flights, but it’s mostly just boats now... how I deal with it is... I just 🤮.... I tell my wife meds don’t work.. I just have to let the demons out😬. Stay safe guys and great vids!!!
Oh nooo that is soo like me Hans! (Yen). It wasn't project zero tho, Peter forgot but I know it was a ps game and a horror one.. I was super looking forward to it but same thing.. such bad motion sickness couldn't play or carry on 😅😅😅 I feel like I've been managing a bit better on flights but it's usually coz I just knock myself out with a sleeping pill but yep.. still gets me sometimes too. Puking makes you feel so much better ay? Thankfully with car rides we can just stop but can't do that with flights and boat 😅😅 hope you're having a good day Hans! Take care 😁👋
Peter and Yen yeah, a good upchuck definitely alleviates the wooziness... boats are great when you can just lean over (facing downwind of course) and chum the open seas😁...thank you and always wishing you guys healthy and safety!
Hiya Werner 👋 Thanks! We bought them from our mate's online store called Charlie's Laundry 🙂 We've added the link in our description. They've got different styles plus free domestic shipping too 👍 Glad you enjoyed the video! Hope if you make the trip to Rangitoto that you and your boys enjoy the trek 🙂👋
there are some batches available to rent. you can find them on mr google bookabach rangitoto they are all 1950's and earlier fit out but really nice for a few days away for a real explore... have fun.
Yo Thorfinn 👋 we are going to the springs you suggested in rotorua soon. Too excited had to tell you hahaha. This mall is under the new PWC building replacing the old downtown shopping mall
@@PeterandYen haha good to hear,can't wait to see the video of the springs and bring back the memories to me,i will check out the mall when i can return back to Auckland,can't wait for that either. :-)
Aww man Thorfinn guess what? We drove 3 hours today for our overnight stay in Rotorua but unfortunately Hamurana springs was closed T_T apparently high winds so they closed it today! Hopefully it'll be open tomorrow so we can check it out before heading back to Auckland but the forecast doesn't seem so good unfortunately especially if they closed it today when it wasn't even all that windy we thought 😅 Will see how we go.. fingers crossed! 🤞🤞
very nice my friend Hi new friend here sending my full support ☺️ I hope you can also visit to my 🏠 soon keep safe always see you there soon😊☺️ HAVE A NICE DAY GOD BLESS 💕🙏😇🤗
Thanks for the video. Rangitoto is a favourite memory of mine staying in Auckland, especially the lava caves. I forgot how much Tuis sound like R2-D2.
Hahaha! Now that you mention it I can't get the R2D2 comparison outta my head 😂
True, they sound like r2d2 because we live beside a reserve. They always chattering around
@@hudsonquay you don't set up the alarm 🙂
😂 I remember when we were staying in Vietnam for awhile and in this one accommodation we'd get the more regular rooster alarm around 4am every day 😅😅 in another it was temple chanting! I dunno which of the 3 is the most startling hahaha
cool! - thanks also for your waitakere ranges vid. useful for my trip yesterday - a delight as described!
No worries Tom, that's awesome that you managed to get out there for yourself. Glad you enjoyed it 😁👍
For sure New Zealand is on my list to travel to 👏🏻
Hope you guys do get the chance to visit one day 🤙😁
I've been to Rangitoto Island it's Beautiful
Haha Peter's just trying to get you in the Halloween spirit Yen with the spiders and witches 😂

Hahaha ofcourse you'd like the boba 😂
Nice to be able to travel again Peter and Yen. Wonderful volcano mountain !! So quiet and peaceful there. Please take care and stay safe.
😁👌 yeah just around Auckland for now but as things get under control we'll be heading out further. Thanks for watching 👍
It looks beautiful! And the weather looks great there!
Spring weather can be good n bad 😊 we were lucky on this day
Love your channel! I’m moving to Auckland in December and can’t wait! Your videos have helped prep me for things to do, so thank you 🙏
No worries thanks for watching 😁✌ hope you enjoy Auckland too, there's definitely no shortage of things to get to do here 👍
Touristy spots are the best travel spots for locals now, to travel! Such a cute bottle for that bubble tea!
Yea everywhere is not so busy since no overseas tourists and thankfully we have the luxury to visit places during the weekday too so even less busy than if we went on the weekend 😁👍 it was a cute bottle ay? Would make for a nice tall vase I thought 🙂
Yay travel again! Nice mask guys! Yup we're all smiling beneath! :P Wooooo very fine-looking ferry!! I'm sure you guys exercise-holics will walk/climb/jog/jump to your destinations. No sweat. 😆 Peter's jandals is back! What a cute birdie! Lunch time! Sorry being biased, Yen's Kaya bread is the winner! ;)
Thank you! We bought it from our friend's site Charlie's Laundry. If we gotta wear masks, it's nice to have some stylish ones too lol 😁 Aw man Peter is the fit one ay.. I swear he's making me go on all these walks to up my fitness levels again coz I've been so bad at working out since we sold our apartment that had a gym in it 😅😅 Hahahaha love it! 😂 Kaya wins any day ay 😉👍💕

I laughed when you guys had yr PNB&J sandwiches, I was thinking at least a double decker egg sandwich with some chips and sparkling water😆. I've been watching heaps of Korean stuff on Netflix, so hopefully when I do my trip I can bust out my mediocre korean cooking skills and pack some bulgogi with sides 😆
Hahahaha woah jelly already just listening to that Korean lunch on top of rangitoto. Picturing multiple containers and opening up all the sides then the meat 🍖 and some rice 🍚 ooooooo man now I want Korean for dinner 😂 what have you done
@@PeterandYen Don't get me started, I can talk korean food for ages. I just finished watching Aaronandclare channel and he made pork belly, so I might have to revise my future Rangitoto lunch menu 😆 in the mean time I'm gonna finish my marmite toast boohoo 😞😄
😂 if you send us a photo with a gas burner and pork belly on top of rangitoto that'll be it you'll be the lunch time champion 😂
Love how Yen has a cute laugh at the end of her most sentences 😅
😂 Peter here, since I'm the one that usually edits our videos i thought that it was only me that noticed this until this comment 😁✌ Crack up
A beautiful island, an attractive and exciting voyage and trip to Rangitoto Island. Thank you for taking me.
Thank Thu! It's definitely quite a unique walk 😁🌋
What a fun outing! You had a beautiful and warm day (Peter is in shorts)! The location of your opening scene for the vlog sure brought back great memories of our trip! We stayed in a place at the waterfront overlooking the harbor. I now have a reference point of where Rangitoto Island is located. Our ferry passed by the island on our way to Waiheke Island (we may have even had a stopover at Rangitoto). Oh boy! NZ is moving up my list of places to go after this pandemic is over!

Arrr must have been an amazing stay right next to the harbor. That area has always been one of our favorite spots, the vibe is excellent especially during summer or when America's cup is on 😁👌 hahaha next time you're back in New Zealand maybe you will be able to visit rangitoto.

Loved the video guys, what a stunning day Auckland turned on. You are definitely living the dream. Thanks for sharing 👍 😊
😁 yen n i love lil random days out like this. Somehow they end up really memorable when you think back what you did in the year thanks for watching Daryl 🤙
Great vlog, and the views are stunning, not a cloud in the sky, perfect hiking weather. Cool stores in the mall - alot of Malls in American look like this, in big cities in Europe, or maybe I'm just used to them - Be Healthy & Stay Safe
😁 hi Catherine 👋 yeah we're pretty used to seeing malls like this overseas too but for New Zealand its a first so a few people wanted us to vlog there. Spring in New Zealand now so its finally warming up a bit 👌
Amazing
Volcanoes are so awesome! really excited for this video
😁👍 hope you enjoyed it
Can't believe you're still wearing jandals Peter LOLLL Those rocks definitely look a lil dangerous
😂 i can't help it that's my typical all year weather
That does look like a gorgeous day. It's so grey and rainy here. Beautiful views from the ferry too. One hour to the summit?! Explorer tour for us. 😂 Peter, what's up with the sandals?! Haha Give it up. That's like the perfect lunch though.
Hahahaha so much support for that bus 🚌 the sandals reflect what I pretty much always wear 😅 this is why work gear did not suit me i always wanna be either in sandals or bare foot
Hahaha. Too slow Yen with the sandwich cheers. Peter's already taken a bite of his. Haven't been to Rangitoto so awesome to see your trip. Commercial Bay looks pretty flash eh. Would love to be there for the Americas Cup.
So pumped for America's cup 😁👌 can't wait to be hanging out in the viaduct while watching the races. So crazy that a lil country like ours wins this thing where people are spending absurd money 💰
@@PeterandYen Kiwi ingenuity at its best. Was there in 2000 when they defended it for the first time. Was an amazing experience and definitely a highlight of my life. Ticker tape parade was out of this world. They reckon 200 thousand people were there.
Was there in 2000 the atmosphere was amazing! Was also in the city the night all blacks won it back home 😊 great memories New Zealand is great like that, it feels like the whole country is behind our national teams
Definitely loved the vlog💯. Peanut butter and jam sandwiches takes me back to school😊Especially cute 10:58 that little bird to pop in and say hi😂 n 👋. Absolute love for you guys😘😘
There were so many birds 🐦 on the island which made sense because it's a pest free zone. The tuis and fantails were so cute. Take care n have a great week ahead Seliama
Thanks again guys, have a good week🤙
That was Peter replying, Yen here now! He didn't realise I added the little detail of hello and bye text to the bird in our outtro so totally misunderstood what you were saying 😂😂🐦 I thought it was cute popping in like that so I'm glad you noticed it!! 😁❤️ Thanks Seliama 😁💖🐦
😂that’s all good. You guys had a perfect day👌 it’s warming up here now so I’ll be wearing my jandals too😊. That bird definitely sounded like R2D2😂 love it🤙. Enjoy your week guys😘😘
Haha it did right?? 🐦😁 That's great to hear it's warming up over there too! Good to make it out of winter especially so with covid lingering around! Enjoy your week ahead too ❤️🙂
For me as a Western European, it is a mindf*** knowing that it is winter time there and you're walking around in shorts, a t-shirt and a light jacket (and jandals, of course) and that you have so much sunshine.
Where I live, winter means dark, drizzly weather for months and temperatures around 10 degrees C, with the occasional nighttime freeze dip.
Lovely made video, as always. Keep 'm coming!
😂 wow Western European winters sound a lil gloomy, we're lucky here in New Zealand you do get the odd sunny day even in winter. Our entire northland and North island road trip series was shot in it middle of winter with pretty decent weather. But it does get pretty chilly from time to time in the single digits even. Luckily on the day we climbed rangitoto it was around 14 degrees C. Thanks for watching and for the compliments appreciate it 😁✌
Yen is the person you want to be with when you're exploring. She's always prepared. Glad you guys made the ferry. It would be a bummer. That mall is at a different level and the food court looks awesome. Uuuffff... that spaghetti looks so so good.
Ooo yup 100% yen's a lifesaver on travels. Always prepared and reads things so we don't do the wrong thing 😅 I'm the opposite so lucky to have her!
Me encantan . Son tan simpaticos . Muestran bellos lugares de Nueva Zelanda Se extraña ese lindo pais Un abrazo desde Chile!!
Gracias! 🙂👋
Love this video. I will definitely visit this place when I get to New Zealand. Can't wait!!!!!!
Hope you'll enjoy it 😁👍 there's about 50 volcanoes in Auckland but Rangitoto is definitely one of the most iconic 🙂
Omg the biscuits are like one of my childhood favs 🙏🏽🥰🥰 Cant beat a good ole peanut butter sandwhich right?! Anyways omg that was too funny, the guys that missed the ferry :/ sad but funny at the same time 🙈 Anyway awesome vlog guys! See yous in the next one 🥰🙏🏽
Hahaha you and yen must have similar food tastes 😁 ahhh we found out later that the water taxi costs $450 so as long as you don't miss the last ferry you're still ok 😅
Weather looks great! Nice 360° views! Love the color of the sea!
😁👌🏝 that's the Hauraki for ya
Wooo! nice view from the summit! Do you guys have beautiful day all the time? Seems like it in all of your videos!! Lol definitely don't want to miss the ferry and call for help haha!! Sure no spiders in the lava cave there Yen? :P Just a casual rocky terrain in NZ 7:57 that look like a scene from LoTR already.
Nah not such clear beautiful days all the time but this winter has been not so bad we found! Warmer weather generally (even though mornings and nights still cold) and less days of rain compared to other winters so we make the most of the good weather whenever we can 😁👍 We're lucky to get some beautiful sunny days in between 🙂 Aww man I did not want to stay long in that cave to run into any spiders or wetas 😅😅
an interesting Island guess those rocks from lava eruptions from the volcano over time is this volcano active packed lunch thats nice what no vegemite lucky no bats in that cave let alone spiders glad you didnt miss the ferry nice shopping mall there and a food hall no surprise you headed there
*thumbs up like yes👍Au👍whole video watched*
Hahaha I don't think we have bats here in New Zealand Billy. I certainly haven't seen any. Spiders yes but luckily not so many of the poisonous massive kind like in aussie 😅 Island definitely has its charm
@Paolo G oh wow never knew! Thanks for sharing 👍👍
Very nice and amazing vlog, third yeah!!!!!
👌 bronze medal 🥉 goes to you 😁🤙
What an incredible video! Can't wait to try it ourselves!
😁👍 definitely it makes for a great day trip out/ in of Auckland 🏝
Hey Peter and Yen!! That's awesome you're out of lockdown, and cool you're checking out this island/Volcano!! We have to wear masks here in LA, and we will probably continue wearing them well into 2021 for sure. That's not a bad price for the tickets to take the ferry! That's crazy there are no shops there, but it's better for the environment. That volcanic rock is no joke! That sumit was cool, and love seeing the volcano crater!! Glad you brought your own lunch! That cave entrance was cool, and so awesome you went inside. Sucks there is construction at the shops, but the food court was nice. Thanks for taking us with you and lots of love to you both!!
Hey girls 😁✌ masks are good precaution in current times Thanks for tagging along with us to the top of the volcano 🌋 😊🤙 hahaha yup wouldn't wanna be stuck on the island overnight without any food or a working phone that wouldn't be nice 😅
Love the views of Auckland from the island. And only a 25 minute ride away
😍 amazing views back into town. The Auckland city skyline is one of the best we've seen too
Hey guys! So nice to see you guys out after the previous stage of lockdown in Auckland. Ahhh that’s amazing you guys have volcano island very near to the city.
If we have something similar here and as soon as we are out of this dreaded lockdown, we will definitely go and get a fresh air.
Hahaha peanut butter and jam sandwhiches dont cut it anymore for us, right? We need a big bowl or rice to carry for picnic lolll
😂 Yen n i are both pretty lazy when it comes to food prep so peanut butter 🥜 and jelly is all we could muster up 😁 yeah when you put it like that it makes the day trip even more special. Not everyday you're able to do something like this.
Always love a good ferry ride like that - perfect weather too!
Yes! Totally somehow when you start a trip with a ferry ⛴ it makes it so much more special
BUBBLE TEA Yen 😆🙏 life is sweeter w bubbly tea, def interesting to see nz upping their architectural game 🙌👌
😁👌 fancy huh, y'all got plenty of these fancy malls in Sydney though
Aww pack your own lunch 😝😝 that is classic highschool recess hehe
Hahaha primary school yeah but I outgrew peanut butter and jelly by high school
Hi Peter & Yen 😍👋 what beautiful views on a beautiful day!
Tara! Hope you've been well 😁✌ yeah rangitoto island 🏝 was awesome
Great video of NZ as always! It's nice that you're able to see some nature during the lockdown. OMG, that new shopping mall looks fabulous! I'll definitely check it out when in Auckland; the design is so contemporary and stylish. Be safe, guys.
Thank you 😁👋 yea thankfully in level 2.5 we can travel again but thought we'd just stick to Auckland still in the first week at least. The new mall looks pretty flash ay? Nice to see Auckland step it up a bit! 👍🙂
Yay! no lockdown now!!!
We are also finding tons of construction everywhere we go, most places are taking advantage now to get things done since there is not many people traveling around
I think Lieles would get on the tour cart while we all walk lol
Peter is still winter there no? wear shoes for the rocks and the cold lol
Yen, you just reminded us of a crazy walk we did in a National Park in Croatia...really crazy
Yea definitely makes sense to make the most of the time when the roads aren't as busy as before! Auckland CBD feels like it's always under construction though 😅 something new every time 👍 hahah it's like the start of spring now so the weather is slightly warming up 😁 Peter would wear shorts like 24/7 if he could I reckon 😂 what was crazy about your croatia walk? Was it super challenging?
@@PeterandYen we will show you but let's say it was a 6 hour walk around mountains and lakes lol 😆
Wow what a stellar effort!! 😮👍
Awesome vlog guys, I’m from Up north and I’ve never been to Rangitoto 🤷🏽♀️
Your vlog just makes me feel like I need to go myself 😀
Thank you 😁💕 Hope you'll get a chance to visit one day. Seems like many people haven't actually gone up Rangitoto before so you're not alone! 🙂
You have cured my lockdown blues! Thanks guys your channels awesome!
Aww thank you! Glad you enjoy our videos 😁👋 Hope you get to check some of these places out eventually if you haven't previously already!
I love watching your videos. Went up the Rangitoto myself when I visited Auckland in 2019. It's cool to see you visit places I'v been, and you inspire me to visit new places next time. As for good places to eat in Auckland, I can recommend Food Truck Garage close by Sky Tower. Keep up the good work ;)
Thank you 😊 Glad you enjoy our videos! Awesome that we can bring back some good memories for you and show you a couple new places too for your next visit 🙂👍 oh yea food truck is great! We made a video there a very long time ago too! 👍
keep it coming guys, always great to see you two and NZ
Thanks Chris 😁🤙 more videos on the way
Hi Peter and Yen! Rangitoto island looks like such a fun little trip when you want to get out into nature but don't want to go too far away! I'm still blown away every time by how blue and green New Zealand actually is haha! Also really enjoyed that Yen sometimes throws in these fun little facts about the places you guys visit! :D
Hey Laura 👋🙂 It's a nice place to go for a lil walk for sure! Yea hahaha nz is very blue and green, looks real crisp and vivid especially when the weather is good 💙💚 lol thank you I'm glad you enjoy my little fact additions 🤓
Oh yeah, I (Andjas) remember this island and that black rocks, the view was also amazing! Then straight to the ramen restaurant near the pier area and also bobba too lol.
Oooo you guys must have gone to daikoku Ramen next to the train station👌 that's a spot we've been going to since we were kids 😊👍
Cool Vlog guys I worked on the island in the shop back in the 1978 we used to go over after school on Friday’s and go back home Sunday arvo. On Saturday nights they used to do a dine and dance as well. Must go back it’s been at least 30 years since I was last there.
That sounds awesome, even more going on the island 🏝 than there is now. Thanks for sharing your memory of rangitoto 🤙
Rangitoto! Nice! So much construction aye! $39 return is not so bad. I haven’t been to Rangi either 😅 guilty. You guys are so cute packing your own lunches 😆. Oh is that commercial bay? Haha I used to go there (just to walk) but never knew the name of it 😂😅.
New Zealand is getting ready for the America's cup event so needa get all this stuff up and ready quick. Used to be called downtown shopping mall 😁
Peter and Yen Ah that’s the old mall? Maybe I haven’t been there then...Last time I saw it was a construction site 😅
Yea they took ageeesss to build it and finally open lol 😅 it's pretty nice but definitely seems like it's suffering without tourists to flow through!
Rangitoto looked like a nice escape from the city. I do love some hiking tracks. Id hate to be those guys who missed the ferry back 😅😅
😅 yeah... the ferries are very infrequent so it's at least an hour spent at the what for the next one
Saw your video before heading to rangitoto island yesterday...cheers!
Oh nice! Did you do the summit track? Hope you had a great day out on rangitoto! It was pretty sweet weather yesterday too 👍
@@PeterandYen Yes I did, went there last Sunday and the weather was superb, but torturing my leg...hahaha
Hahaha it gives you quite the workout huh 😂 great work on doing it though!! 👍👍🙂
Peter and Yen yepp thanks 😁
I wonder if anyone ever missed the boat back and got stuck on the island 🤔 since you mention that there aren't any shops I would be very scared of that 😅
Hahaha yeah I'm sure it happens once in a while they can always call the emergency ferry to come and get them
I think you need a bigger mask there peter lol at your left ear. I know those feels Yen, I (andy) get sea sick too =( hahah always rockin the jandals. Nice one with the kaya bread. That's a cool cave! The design of commercial bay is so nice!
😂 the thing is my head is exceptionally wide so this is common for masks, glasses and hats to do this 😅 it is really nice to get a mall like this in New Zealand finally!
Two things - No.1- from Rangitoto island - if you intentionally miss the ferry can you camp overnight and then catch the ferry back the following morning - and No.2 - Shrewsbury's!....are you kidding me - I love those biscuits, I haven't eaten one since I moved overseas from NZ a long time ago.....anyway - I'm still chuckling over the people that missed the ferry.....I wonder what they were thinking when they saw the ferry leave. Thanks Peter & Yen, I enjoyed that.
Thanks Tooks! 😁💕 Shrewsbury biscuits are awesome ay! I love them too and go through periods just downing them 😂😂 lucky for those guys they didn't miss the final boat so just meant they had to wait 1 more hour but we could see them from the distance racing down to get to the boardwalk and then slowing when they saw the ferry pull away 😅😅 I do wonder how many people have had to camp overnight from missing the ferry or calling the after hours one out ay 😅
This was such a great video, I was looking to go and video was so informative
Glad to hear it! If you do go, hope you enjoy the trek 🙂👍
I briefly landed on Islington Bay (the bay links those two islands) years ago. I thought there is no climbing route on Rangitoto Island until I watched your video. Thanks for sharing your trip. ❤ Rangitoto will be our next destination. 😁
Aww nice! Yea give the summit trek a go especially with the weather warming up a bit now 😁👍
Oh dear those ppl who missed the boat 😅😅$$$$
Yeah 😅 luckily they can wait 1 hour for the last ferry. But if they miss that one then they'll need to get the on call special ferry ⛴
thanks guys, it's nice to come home to your smiling faces. Stay cool. :D
😁👍 thanks for watching Max! Have an awesome week
Even sharp rocks won’t stop Peter from rocking jandals 😂
😂 5 years of barefoot and 30 years of jandals have trained me for this moment
That is a long walk! 1 hour to the summit. I would've taken one of the explorer trains haha. The view was stunning though.
😂 I enjoy these walks cause the view from the top is even more special once you've had to work for it. (Peter)
Yeah, man! Flip flops on volcanic soil are a gamble! Careful!
Luckily I'm a pro Jandler 😂
@@PeterandYen 😂
Wah, lovely scenery. Luckily you guys didn't miss the ferry.
Yeah lucky or would have had to camp out in the wilderness 😂
Awesome little day trip, guys.
That bubble tea bottle looked interesting. Are they resuseable at the shop?
Day trips are the best 😁👌 unfortunately I don't think it's reusable.
But in saying that not actually sure since didn't ask the store if you can bring it back for them to use. We know that you can do that in Australia but doesn't seem like something that's been adopted here in NZ yet.
Very nice and exciting....second??Yayyy
❤ so fast today mum 😊
@@PeterandYen was hoping to be 1st..🤭❤
Yash! I feel yen edited this at the start hahaa, was waiting for peter music
😂 my music choice can vary a lot when it comes to UA-cam
Awesome!!!!
Thanks Alexa 😊✌ glad you enjoyed it
hi loved this video , as fletcher said below i can imagine your amazing smiles under those masks , just love these not so touristy vids . still amazes me how slim you both stay . peanut butter and jam sandwiches ,tut ,tut, lol. take care both cant wait for next weeks dose of medicine ,,, haha cheers,
Hi Barry 👋 hahaha well trust us lockdown has definitely seen us both put on a couple of extra spare tyres especially me (Peter) 😂 been downing chocolate 🍫 bars at a pace you'd be shocked by 😂
We all know that both of you are smiling under the masks
You two always smile :D
😂 🤙 fletcher always dropping great comments! Have a great week mate
Peter and Yen no worries. Have a good week too!
Yen had her tongue like this 😋😋
The island is really beautiful! Although on camera the cave looked pretty scary. It was so dark in there haha
😂 dark n full of bugs 🐛 yen needed to get out quick 😅
Aw you get motion sickness too Yen? Glad you didn't this time, it sure ain't fun. Awesome caves!!!
Yea I'm such a munter! Planes, cars, boats.. video games 😂😂😂
Yen runs faster down towards the ferry :p then running up haha
Hahaha we were almost late 😅
wow what a site! beautiful. I get sea sick too Yen! I was so nervous going to Waiheke, my friends thought I was joking and were laughing at me, but it's a major fear because sea sickness is just not the greatest right?!
Oh my goodness as much as I enjoy Waiheke that ferry ride is so bad for me too Leah!! It starts as a splitting headache in the back of my head for me, works its way around and ends with me usually wanting to throw up 😅😅 is it about the same for you?
@@PeterandYen When we went over, it was so choppy and because we were going over for a hens do, the girls were just chatting about wineries and things I didn't want to think of! on the way home it was OK, not as choppy but I still sat there with my eyes closed and sunglasses on! can you believe I have also been on a cruise! never again.
Aw you poor thing!! That would've been so rough 😭 I feel your struggles! What a trooper for making it through 😮
Thank you amazing couple for bring us to Rangitoto Island and Commercial bay. Those places are so cool! I'm glad that you're enjoying life in an incredible way.
By the way, your mask looks so cool! Lots of love!
Hi Mio 👋 it was a bit sad to see the emergence of cases here in Auckland but it's been great to see the majority of people taking precaution and getting those numbers down. Was nice to be out and about again after 😊 we purchased the mask from a friend of ours who makes them locally here in NZ we've left their site in the description. Thanks for watching and sending lots of love 💘 back!
chocolate is needed when walking lol, it gives you energy, good choice there Peter
Yes, I wouldn't want to miss that ferry either
Kinda scary for me, the darkness gets me like that. Lieles heard spiders and jumped hahaha
Oh noo poor people getting stuck there
If I pack a P&J sandwich for Lieles he would never walk again hahah
Oh man I honestly didn't even think about spiders until Peter mentioned wetas.. so it was thoughts of both from that moment on!! 😅 I'm so glad I didn't watch other rangitoto vlogs before we went on our trip coz in one there actually was a massive spider which is pretty rare to see here 😅 if I ran into that I would've freaked out for sure 😅🤣 Damn... Lieles and I have tons in common lolol 😁👍👍 thankfully that wasn't the final ferry of the day, there should've still been 1 more for the day but it meant they would've had to wait another whole hour after racing to try catch the one we just made!
@@PeterandYen oh wow
Awesome trip 👍
Climbing Rangitoto def made for a fun day out 👌🏝 thanks for watching
Rangitoto is so young and so cool
Awesome day out for sure 👍
Yen and her creepy crawlers 😂😂😂
🐛
Always wanted to go to Rangitoto , but somehow the terrain is too rough for my liking! Even rugged has limits eh! 😁. Yen, you inspire me! I could never trek that! I'd take that buggy up😂😂.
Hahahaha noooo Germaine do the walk it's so much more enjoyable 😄 not too challenging either you can take it at your own pace 😁👌
Thanks your video
I always watching your video
That's why i interested about NZ
Thank you! Glad you enjoy our videos from New Zealand 😁🇳🇿
Good to know you have to bring food with you - could be a disaster if you don’t!
😅 yeah you don't wanna be climbing all afternoon with no food in the belly that is a total fail
Very beautiful!
😁👍 thanks Tuan
Another place for me to checkout always been fascinated by Rangitoto Island since i was a boy hey shouldn't be eating white bread hahaha thanks for letting us know you need to take food👍
😂 white bread tastes the best though... all that sugar 🤤
@@PeterandYen to much sugar no good hahaha have you guys been to Mangere Mountain good view up there.
O nice thanks for the recommendation 👍 haven't been up mangere mountain
Oh man... I feel Yen on getting motion sickness (on boats - for some reason I stopped getting motion sickness in cars - oddly got it after skydiving).. Was supposed to go on a 4hr boat ride once in rough seas and I couldn’t sleep the night before because of nervous anticipation...🥴🤢🤢 Great vid guys! Nice new mall...but we know the super malls in Asia (especially the food courts) are next level😁😋
😅 i think the worse case of motion sickness for yen was when she was super excited about playing project zero. So we got it played for a couple of hours and she had such bad motion sickness from the Playstation game 😅 so when you consider that cars and boats are like next level for her. How do you deal with your motion sickness Hans?
Peter and Yen oh man! Your project zero story reminded me of this long buried memory... years ago my sister bought me my first ever game console - the Wii... I went out and bought a game (Zelda), hurried home and started playing. Since my wife and I didn’t own a tv, I used my wife’s projector and projected the game on a wall... about 20 mins into it, I found myself running to the toilet to puke.. I ended up selling the Wii... and Zelda🤢. The worst part was I never even made it past the very first part where the elf character has to just enter the little portal thingy so the game can actually start. I just kept going in circles. Sometimes I still get queasy on the descent on flights, but it’s mostly just boats now... how I deal with it is... I just 🤮.... I tell my wife meds don’t work.. I just have to let the demons out😬. Stay safe guys and great vids!!!
Oh nooo that is soo like me Hans! (Yen). It wasn't project zero tho, Peter forgot but I know it was a ps game and a horror one.. I was super looking forward to it but same thing.. such bad motion sickness couldn't play or carry on 😅😅😅 I feel like I've been managing a bit better on flights but it's usually coz I just knock myself out with a sleeping pill but yep.. still gets me sometimes too. Puking makes you feel so much better ay? Thankfully with car rides we can just stop but can't do that with flights and boat 😅😅 hope you're having a good day Hans! Take care 😁👋
Peter and Yen yeah, a good upchuck definitely alleviates the wooziness... boats are great when you can just lean over (facing downwind of course) and chum the open seas😁...thank you and always wishing you guys healthy and safety!
😂😂😂
dang $10 for a bubble tea! :O
😅 yeah city mall pricing I guess
Jandals back
Here to stay unless we go to the snow ❄ 👍😊
Cool masks. I am in Auckland, could I get my hands on masks like that here?
Thank you for the video. I might take the boys up there in the holidays.
Hiya Werner 👋 Thanks! We bought them from our mate's online store called Charlie's Laundry 🙂 We've added the link in our description. They've got different styles plus free domestic shipping too 👍 Glad you enjoyed the video! Hope if you make the trip to Rangitoto that you and your boys enjoy the trek 🙂👋
there are some batches available to rent. you can find them on mr google bookabach rangitoto they are all 1950's and earlier fit out but really nice for a few days away for a real explore... have fun.
Oooo, we saw a couple of buildings near the ferry stop but didn't know you could hire those. Thanks for the info 👍
very nice vid .. well done
Thank you for the kind words 🤙✌
“Don’t be lazy” 😂😂
😂 she's a trooper
Unique island but scary
First, yeah
😂👍🥇
Is it pram friendly?
Due to the amount of steps and jagged volcanic rock personally I think it's not very pram friendly.
What day was that
We went on the 3rd of September
No wait sorry.. 4th Sep :)
Mean as walk up Rangitoto. We did it on a school trap...
Same bro! Form 1 camp to Motutapu Island 🏝 stop off at rangitoto for a hike
Where is that mall?.
Yo Thorfinn 👋 we are going to the springs you suggested in rotorua soon. Too excited had to tell you hahaha. This mall is under the new PWC building replacing the old downtown shopping mall
@@PeterandYen haha good to hear,can't wait to see the video of the springs and bring back the memories to me,i will check out the mall when i can return back to Auckland,can't wait for that either. :-)
Aww man Thorfinn guess what? We drove 3 hours today for our overnight stay in Rotorua but unfortunately Hamurana springs was closed T_T apparently high winds so they closed it today! Hopefully it'll be open tomorrow so we can check it out before heading back to Auckland but the forecast doesn't seem so good unfortunately especially if they closed it today when it wasn't even all that windy we thought 😅 Will see how we go.. fingers crossed! 🤞🤞
@@PeterandYen Oh man, that's not good,I hope it opens tomorrow mate,fingers crossed for you both.
Yusss it was open today! 😁👍 The place was awesome thank you for recommending it to us!
That island seem so empty without other tourist around.
It was really empty when we went! Like many areas in NZ during this pandemic though 😅
Chur neat alright kiwis
i want to live in auckland
Which city are you currently staying in? 🙂
