    Auckland New Zealand is on my travel list. I will need to save up a lot for this trip. Auckland has beautiful buildings (train station, theater, town hall, etc...). Thank you for sharing the YHA hostel, it is a good price. Mandy's and Lee's food looks good! Mandy's soup was piping hot (I like that).😋 Thank you for sharing Queens Court Food Court. The food is much more expensive than in Thailand. Chilli is good for the heart. 🙂😋 I love the library! Thank you for sharing the tips and places to see. ❤

    Wellington, Christchurch, Queenstown and the Southern Alps are even more beautiful.
    The pastoral life in Queenstown is comfortable and healing.

    Great to relive my travels there from 2008 - as Mandy said, there have been some changes but somethings were the same. I'd love to go back, I think NZ has been my favourite travel destination so far - I really liked it around Taupo, and also liked Wellington and Auckland

    • @FrugalTravellers
      @FrugalTravellers  5 місяців тому +1

      It's great that you still feel that way about NZ. It certainly has it's charms. I like the laid back easy going attitude of the people. Many visitors ignore the North Island and just head to the dramatic South. So glad you enjoyed it and I hope you get to visit again one day. 😊 Lee 👍

      Yes it's very prevalent in NZ. You can soon pick up some Maori words. The hardest part is the pronunciation.

    Hello L&M-
    I certainly share many of Lee’s characteristics…”Yes, was there about 9 years ago-wait a minute, it was more like 20 years ago!!” 😅 Time certainly flies. We visited Auckland 3 or 4 times but I’m afraid to guess how long ago was our last trip. 😅
    Buses look new. I recall each driver had a huge wooden(?) tray to make all kinds of change + ticket sales. No plugs back then. Also recall Queen Street, Aquarium w/penguins, train station (w/o Post Office) and Sky Tower-which did NOT jump off of. Next time maybe? 😅
    BTW-Mandy looks great. Bast of health to her. 👍🏻

    • @FrugalTravellers
      @FrugalTravellers  5 місяців тому +1

      Haha. 😂😂. Time does seem to fly by faster the older you get. It's all perception I suppose. It all seems like yesterday. 🤣 Auckland hasn't changed too much in the centre. I loved visiting the aquarium when I first arrived but haven't been for years. The museum as well is a beautiful place in a lovely location. ❤️
      Mandy is doing really well thanks 🙏

    Hi Mandy / Lee,
    Auckland seems to be a vibrant city and yet every time I think of New Zealand I think countryside.
    That might be related to how travel operators "sell" the country on their Ads, but I understand why, since it's a beautiful country.
    Food prices seems to be pretty similar to here in Europe but those two bowls were huge! 🥺
    Hope you're keeping well, have a good week 🙋🏻‍♂️

    • @FrugalTravellers
      @FrugalTravellers  5 місяців тому +1

      Hi Sergio 😊
      Yes, Auckland is the hustle bustle metropolis of NZ, but it still has that laid back country town feel. There are still areas of the city where you'll find cows grazing on undeveloped Maori tribal land. That makes it quite special.
      You have to seek out the food bargains there but luckily there are still options available. Especially if you like pies. 😋
      Have a wonderful week. 😍 L&M

    Does each person need a hop card or can you pay for 2 person transport w one card?

    • @ChantalTV
      @ChantalTV 5 місяців тому

      you can pay for a second person on one card

    • @FrugalTravellers
      @FrugalTravellers  5 місяців тому

      Hello Stephanie. That's a great question, and one we didn't ask as had 2 cards. Apparently two people can use 1 card but the second person won't get the discount... or that's what I've just been told. Check the Auckland Transport website for full information. ~ Mandy

    • @ChantalTV
      @ChantalTV 5 місяців тому

      The second person pays for a one way ticket, which is for one zone 4 dollars and it will come out of the money on the ATHop card@@FrugalTravellers
