As always another great video, what a place, thank you for sharing. Me and my buddy just got back two days ago from Alaska, no better way to travel other than two wheels. Take care and be safe out there. Rob U.S.
Hi Runa, I'm just catching up after getting home from an epic Scandinavian trip. Thanks for another great episode. Amazing what Will has accomplished. I like how you find interesting people and introduce them to us. I have been on the ocean on a dark moonless night, it is just fascinating to gaze into the vastness of space and see all those stars. Enjoy your busy weekend. Cheers
I'm loving your vids Runa! There's something so calming and refreshing about you. Sandflies - I actually spray the back of my hands and then wipe my face etc with them. Spray direct on your skin without rubbing is next to useless! Best cure for itchiness is simple coconut oil. ❤from a kiwi who knows!
Very brave spraying sandfly attractant on yourself. I was tramping for a couple of day on the other side of the river a couple of months earlier. Love this part of the country. I must ride over to the west coast some time; I find it hard emotionally from Otira down.
I have rafted almost every river in NZ....and never found anything that actually works against Sandfly attacks except covering up Burka like. The sound of a river while camping, is magic and the stars you see is a reality check on how small earth is. So glad you got to enjoy that here in NZ Runa 😎✌
Yup, covering up was definitely the most efficient way to avoid the bites although they did bit through my socks 😂 It's all worth it to spend the time outdoors in such beautiful surroundings though, I loved that camp spot!
Hi Runa, great 👍 video, Beautiful scenery and what a place to camp 🏕 , those sand flies must be horrible, lovely to see a honda cx 500, I remember them well, now showing my age! Lovely to see you happy 😊 back in February and hopefully slowly getting back there 🤞, I am thinking of you! Take care of yourself, Best wishes from Roy in England ❤.
Hi Roy, and thank you so much 😃 It was a lovely day all together - great people, fantastic views and topped it all off with a perfect camp site. I could not have wished for more! 😊 Hope you've had a good weekend over there!
GOD BLESS YOU RUNA JI, PLEASE BE CAREFUL, PLEASE BE SAFE, NEW ZEALAND IS SO BEAUTIFUL,I WILL DEFINITELY TRY TO VISIT IT SOMEDAYS 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Thanks for another brilliant scenic ride Runa. Great meeting the girl with her sidecar outfit. You might be interested to know that your travel buddy squeaking caused my Golden Retriever to go nuts!! He recognised a new squeak and started looking for it🐕🇬🇧
Another awesome episode!! Arthur's Pass and the West Coast are my favorite parts of New Zealand. you will need to come back and ride the coastal rout from Greymouth up to Karamea one of the best coastal roads in the world. hopefully those sad fly's didn't cause you too much grief hehe!!
Another awesome video beautiful country love your videos love the lady’s bike I’ve never seen a Honda with that type of engine very cool ride safe as always
Thank you, Jeff! 😊 It was so good to be back on the road again, surrounded by mountain views. And meetings like those with Sam sure is the cherry on top.
It is a gift to be born in this paradise, (mother earth), to receive all this positive energy and to realize that we belong to the earth and not the opposite. Therefore, what you are doing, my dear, humbly and respectfully, is great.
Very enjoyable again. You have inspired me Runa and I have booked my ferry crossings for Feb/March 2025. I've purchased my camp gear and I'm already doing some practice camps. Plan on doing Tauranga to Gore on my BMW F900XR. Should be fun and I have you to thank. My wife thinks that at 60 I'm too old but i definitely want to have a go.
That is awesome, Craig! 😃 Happy to hear, thanks for sharing! You will love it. Well done for getting all your gear early on to get used to all of it. Hey age is just a number, right? It should not put a stop to chasing your dreams. Go for it!👏
I second this. I've been fortunate enough to ride through several countries in Asia and Europe, but the ride through Haast to Wanaka hold a special place in my heart. Enjoy!!
Hi Runa, wonderful scenic Aurthurs Pass, love it, I drove the opposite direction from West to East when there was some snow on the mountains, stunning. So glad you mentioned the night sky & stars in NZ. I was always astonished by how crystal clear the night sky was on the South Island and the billions(?) of visible stars. Great campsite location, you looked so calm & happy. I wonder if the cheeky Kea parrots visited you also if you stopped at the Otira Viaduct lookout park on the way down to the west coast? Another terrific video, thanks so much for sharing this again. 🤩🤩🦘🦘
It sure was stunning! Oh how I love a good mountain pass 😍 And to end the day like that, on a perfect camp spot, meeting Sam, and getting to see all those stars was.. special! You will know in my next episode this evening how it went at the Lookout 😁
Love your videos. A tip for you regarding g sandfly and mosquito bites. Get a jar of vicks vapour rub, and rub a small amount of cicks into every bite. Ensure it's rubbed in properly. Your bites will soothe and stop annoying you in a matter of minute's.
Runa, great Vid. I used to get an antihistamine cream from the pharmacy to treat the NZ sand flies bites. Of course, a mosquito coil burning upwind of your camping area will also help.
Been there done that. 3 times visit NZ. By rental car…. After my retirement I definitely plan to do it again on a motorbike. My God, I love this country and it’s honest people. During my 2019 trip, I bought some good repellent against those horrible sandflies. I actually worked. Friends who didn’t use is were eaten alive by those little vicious monsters
What an experience, New Zealand! You know there are seven continents in the world, but there used to be eight, Zealandria; because of the name I assume it’s around there. They say it just disappeared in the sea, “The Lost Continent.”
Thank you! Will and his partner were such great hosts, and hearing hi share from his RTW trip was the cherry on top. As well as Kinga's of course! And yes I did try that oil as well as eucalyptus oil and it helped a bit combined with antihistamins!

Sally the CX500 Honda Sidecar. What a cool use for a CX500. What a nice meeting.
It sure was a nice meeting! Riding one of those looks like fun, perhaps it has to go on my have-to-try list 😃

It was really cool to meet another female biker 👌

Another spectacular ride in New Zealand, the landscapes were just incredible Runa👌Will is incredible, 420,000km on one bike is mind boggling😮
It's crazy isn't it! Gotta be hard to sell of a bike with literally hundred thousands of kilometers with memories!
@@OffSheGoesADV For sure Runa!
Nice one Runa 🤗

Great one Runa 🤩👌🏼👊🏼👍🏼
Thank you, Eric! 😄
Enjoyed the video. A duck, a little yellow duck, a little yellow duck that squeaks, you got. How nice. miss the mysterious vent.
Hahah yes! Such a nice little companion to take along 😃
Awesome as always, Runa! I agree with Jonas the first that it's fun to see the little squeaky 🦆 hanging on tight also.
Thank you, Jonas the second? 😂 Hahah. It was such a nice little surprise, to find the duck on my bike upon departure! It's still hanging on 😃
That road through to the west coast and Arthur's Pass region is an absolute treasure trove for motorcyclists, and trampers. Brilliant in winter too.
I bet it's stunning with snow covering the mountains and hills up there!
Beautiful Lady With Smooth Voice And Beautiful Landscape❤❤❤❤

Totally Awesome 👌 Runa thanks for sharing 👍
My pleasure, thanks for watching! 😊
It is all covered by snow at the moment. Completely different views. Thank you for sharing - summer memories.
I bet it's still stunning, wrapped in snow! 😊
@@OffSheGoesADV yes, it is
Awesome episode... and mountains! ❤

Thank you, Steve! it was great from beginning to end. I definitely have to come back, still so many roads and places I have to ride and visit! 😃
It sure was perfect! 😃
Another awesome episode.
Glad you liked it! 😊

You are on track for the greatest ride in NZ - Haast pass through to Wanaka
Oh it's coming! 😁
I second this. I've been fortunate enough to ride through several countries in Asia and Europe, but the ride through Haast to Wanaka hold a special place in my heart. Enjoy!!
Awesome work Runa. The best views are just ahead of you (but by now you already know that).
Thank you, Glenn! 😊 Oh yes, the south island was packed with good views!

Lovely video Runa and great to see the lady with the honda cx500 and sidecar
Thank you! It was so nice to meet Sam up at that campground! 😊
Ok 👏🎉👍
Cool episode Runa👍

I did take antihistamin pills but a cream to treat locally would probably a better choice. Now I know til next time 😁

Oh, I did not know that actually! Thanks for sharing 😃
After long time I've miss you much
August is one busy month! New episode coming this evening 😊
Glad you separated from (how’s my hair) Kinga. I so enjoy your solo expeditions 😅. NZ has some epic scenery. Keep on keeping on.
Y Ddraig Goch 🏴 in the background of that garage 😃
Runa, try white vinegar (eddik) on the sand fly bites. If that doesn't help see if you can buy some hydrocortisone to help with the itch.
Love your little yellow friend lol
Me too! 😁
🎉🎉🎉🎉
i see its a bit shaky...,get a service on the front end bearings asap 🥰
Nice video Runa. I was waiting the video by you. Must start tour to Pakistan 🇵🇰 for moto ride.
❤❤❤
Hi there I have traveled the South Island many times but never film it so I’m interested now what kind of camera or cameras do you use cheers
Another great video and interview. Have you tried "Tea Treat Oil" for itchy insect bites? Of course you're probably back home now. Safe travels!!
Thank you! Will and his partner were such great hosts, and hearing hi share from his RTW trip was the cherry on top. As well as Kinga's of course!
And yes I did try that oil as well as eucalyptus oil and it helped a bit combined with antihistamins!
@@OffSheGoesADV I'm glad to hear it! Like you, the bugs just LOVE THE HELL out of me!! Ugh!! 🤣😂🤣😂🙄😡
❤😍👌👍
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🇧🇷
Sorry Runa about the sandflys. They always know when there are foreigners around, new blood. 😂
Hahaha I bet! 😂
👍
❤
The best remedy for sandfly's, is to travel with someone who is tastier than yourself! 😊
Haha I've perhaps something I need to consider! 😂
Harikasın ❤👏👏👏👏👏🧿🏍🏍
you picked a good spot to eat supper, i like trains so i really thought that was rad.......how were the sand flies?
It was a really nice campsite all together! 😊 The sandflies weren't bad at all thanks to a slight breeze, I got lucky 😃
@@OffSheGoesADV right on 🤘🏻
you are so beautiful, I love you, I love your vlogs, your smile is so cute
✌️👸🏻❤️⭐
It's a pity that I can't become a sponsor... 😞
When you are planning to coming into Pakistan
why couldn't you prove that you were you to get your channel back, could you not have sent them a copy of your passport or something?
Hello, Runa! I apologize for disturbing you, please tell me if there is any way to contact you personally? Email or messenger? I have one question.
Hay who are you where are you from come to our india well come
Awesome episode, thank you very much for that! I also wrote to you on instagram, but don't know if you even read messages there :D
Thank you very much! 😊 Unfortunately I'm waaaaay behind on replying to messages on instagram, sorry about that!
@@OffSheGoesADV Don't worry, enjoy fully riding season. Insta can wait for winter :P
