You know, feels like just when we finish a trip, you folks give us another destination. Just got back from Wellington/Taupo/New Plymouth/Mt. Ruapehu and now we have to plan for Fiji! 😀 Fantastic birthday present.
What a beautiful birthday celebration you had, Chantal! 🎉🎉🎉 Bravo, Craig, for treating your beautiful wife to a trip she will never forget. 💖 We are so happy you both enjoyed the adventure and that all the traveling went well. All the best and lots of love to both of you.💖💖
it's great that you stayed at the nalagi hotel as I have stayed there twice pror to Covid but it was quite a nice stay. the rooftop pool is great maccas is just a small walk away as well as burger King plus a decent s/market just up the road.Denarau is just a short cab ride away too. glad you both had fun on Fiji airways as well as in the strata lounge.
Oh what a lovely break😃👍Part of your birthday package😄🥂👍Fooood!! I love the food😋Whenever I eat any cake/desert, I'm celebrating my birthday😂 Awesome place Fiji. As a South African, I believe New Zealanders are by far the kindest and most friendly people on the planet. Hence your friendly bus driver and customs agent❤💯👍👍Im still practicing wearing my shorts in winter🤣Kudos to you Craig😂👍👍Thanks Chantz and Craig, Great video🤗👍
Birthday package…love it 🤗🤗 Yeah, the kiwis are super friendly in our experience. Although, the bus driver was South African ☺️ Thanks so much for watching 🩷
Fiji is the best place for the winter escape, so close to nz, that late flight into akl is a killer, i learnt from it lol, i always land in akl in the early arvo now, glad you both had a great time😊
Would absolutely love going to Tahiti and surrounding islands. I was there when working on a cruise ship years ago, and would love to go back and actually spend some time there 😁
Little travel hack most of the modern in flight entertainment systems you're able to use your own wired headphones or earphones offering better sound quality than airline issues ones. Air NZ IFE allows you to use your own wired headphones/earphones if it doesn't work though you can buy a twin adapter from jb hifi or something
Arrrgh thought you had been a bit quite - now i know why 😂😂 - happy birthday again C and well done Craig - nice 👍. Looking forward to the bit in between. Welcome back, and it could have been worse. You could have ended in CHCH 😂😂 - where you really would have felt the difference in temperature 😂😂. Till next time, Bye
Yeah, sorry about being a bit quiet here on UA-cam, but we had a good reason 😅 lol, my cousin visited from chch last week and thought it was summer here in Auckland in comparison 😂
Awesome vid guys, I'm heading back home from Australia after 14 years living here, I'm definitely not looking forward to the doom and gloom of facing the Winters there..😂 Winters here in QLD are awesome, my favourite season.😊
It's crap that the Auckland metro still doesn't go to the airport, with an interchange in the airport. The airport is only 5kms to Puhinui station and most of it is open land. How much could that cost to build? It's things like this lack of basic infrastructure which betray how poor NZ as a country is. I mean come on. NZ only has two airports that accept international flights, Auckland and Christchurch, and the majority are via Auckland. It creates such a bad impression for visitors and makes Auckland and NZ look backward.
Why are you ramping train service in this city? It's absolutely terrible, especially weekends the services often aren't' even running at all. Best and cheapest way to get to the airport on time and in comfort, have a mate drive you.
Why do you hate this city so much? The trains ran perfectly fine…this was filmed on a Saturday, it was on time and we absolutely love going on the train, but that’s just us and our opinion.
@@BeingBedingfield Hate this city? Use to love this city but that was 20 years ago, been a downward spiral ever since, especially the last several years under Labour. Rail try commuting every day, service is terrible, weekends service is often late or cancelled completely. Billions recently wasted on more rail that will never be completed could have and should have gone to a much higher priority like a second bridge crossing. Rail here is a joke, always has been and they need to stop wasting money on it.
Really enjoy watching your videos 💪🏼👌🏼🤩

Nice one , i can smell the burning sugar cane 😊 reminds me of visits along KZN north coast .

This week of sunshine gave us enough energy for the remainder of Auckland winter 😅 can’t believe how close Fiji is though!
That the luxury of living in NZ you're very close to the Islands, I hope you can make it to Tahiti and stay over on Moorea if you have not been there.
Would absolutely love going to Tahiti and surrounding islands. I was there when working on a cruise ship years ago, and would love to go back and actually spend some time there 😁
Good afternoon from Papua New Guinea. I enjoyed watching your contents.

I have my own at hop card at just 9 I have been ride into theses thing form 2017
Wow, that’s amazing 🤗

Offs.
Winter doesn't even exist in Queensland
Wow, 14 years is a long time! Is Auckland home?
The weather here has actually been quite nice compared to last year ☺️
@@BeingBedingfield unfortunately Auckland is home for me, 😁the grandchildren aren't getting any younger, so it's time to move back.
@@laskinov aww, we love Auckland though 🤗 I’m sure it’ll be great for you to spend some time with your grandkids 🩷
So you live in the CBD, but work at the airport. That must be a bugger of a daily commute through all that traffic congestion.
We are caving 😂

So, you went to Fiji, and didnt even see a beach? Pretty strange. I guess you got content tho.
