I've watched ALL your Vlogs AND I give your mum and dad a 10 out of 10 for raising you ( authentic polite humorous totally engaging young man ....love ALL your vids!
Hi Maz here from New Zealand. Somehow I've started watching your videos and they always make me smile. I can't believe the amount of food you eat!! And your enthusiasm for it. I saw that guy (who turned out to be your father) and thought "how rude - the whole empty boat and he sat right next to you!!" 😛 Keep up the good work Brock 🙂
🤣🤣Yup, that was my father! It makes me really happy to hear that my videos make you smile! Sometimes I can't believe the amount of food that I can eat either! Thank you for watching my videos!!!
Really enjoying your Videos Brock. Great light content, like you’re having a yarn with a mate. Keep up the good work. Must be time to try a KFC double down?
That was a very calm crossing. The cook straight is one of the most dangerous crossings in the world. When the wind really picks up the ferry gets tossed around. I don't suffer from sea sickness, I got sea legs as a kid, but man, I've seen some other passengers get very ill indeed. If you do get sick go outside, face into the wind and fix your gaze at the horizon. You won't feel quite so ill.
Brock, the cracker is not just for the meat. You use the cracker like a base to build on with the relish, meat, cheese. You make different combinations depending on your taste buds but had you mixed them together it may have been a better experience because that white exterior of the cheese can be a little bitter however we here in NZ love our cheeses and I do like eating those on there own. But if you do choose to try them again, find a nice wafer cracker, put some brie or camembert or even blue cheese on it with Salami and tomato pinch of salt is heavenly but no salt if using blue cheese.
Best time to get a ferry is early morning as the sun rises, you get great views as you travel through the Sounds to/from Picton . The peak season for the Interislander ferry is Christmas holidays, which is summer in NZ. Then the ferries get booked out months in advance. Most of the year the ferries carry freight and truck drivers, which is really the main purpose.
Ferrys are normally packed. You should have asked one of the staff to assist you with the coffee machine. You could have just put a napkin on the saucer i promise you, you wouldn't have got in trouble lol, your so polite. Oh, not the pams in premium, you cracked me up as soon as you mentioned pams, and tip top, well you know your brands and NZ too well, youre an honorary kiwi 👍
The truck diver's area has bunks for them to sleep. Some have been driving for hours and hours, and will drive again for hours at the other end. This way they at least get a little sleep and a meal.
6:25 the 2 different types of cheeses with white outer coating are camembert cheese and brie cheeses and yes you are meant to eat the outside as it's part of the cheese casing, i like it as it gives a different taste and texture to the soft center of the cheese just don't think about it too much because it's the part of the cheese which is ageing a lot faster than the inside, what you should think when eating it is the fact it is at least 4-5 more expensive than regular cheeses 😉
@@GlobetrottingBrock all g. also cheese is all about the taste. i used to be like "slap a slice of processed sliced cheese in my sandwich and i'm good to go as long as it's cheese", now days in my later years i appreciate the time and preparation it takes for cheese to get to a certain taste. i myself prefer blue vein cheese because it's really strong and has a nice age, other people will spit it out as soon as it hits their tongue lol. (also cheese on crackers is the way to go, the relish is for the salami)
Whenever I've gotten the fairy I've always gotten a cabin or the premium. Normally I go for the cabin as it means you can have a sleep, you have your own space and your own bathroom. Although I would suggest downloading something to watch on a laptop or a book or a good amount of music. I normally just sleep as I don't handle the sea sickness very well
The Truckers lounge gets you a free meal for $20 ,and a bed if you want one, but you have to be trucker. Met some Navy boys in there once,one was throwing his ring up,funniest thing i saw,a Navy cadet seasick.
Sad the ships are ghost towns , But I understand its a half hour flight or a 3 and a half hour cruise.. Flight will cost about $50 more , 3 hours saved is worth the trade off! That said I think all should experience this Cook Straight once at least!

Have you been to wangangi if not you should google it very pretty town and some nice foods there to not very big but worth the trip.
Really enjoying your Videos Brock. Great light content, like you’re having a yarn with a mate. Keep up the good work.

Awesome video. Thank you for showing our country. Have watched about 7 of your videos. I enjoy your narration and straight up talk.💜

Yes you can eat the white part of the cheese =)
As I have discovered! I don't think my American taste buds were built for real cheese 🤣. Thank you for watching!
Yes, it's camembert or brie - the best! 😂
My tip… take the Blue Bridge ferry, pay $30 extra and get a private cabin. Ultra comfy and the showers are amazing!!!
You have a good appetite. Good to see you you enjoying your food.

Thank you for being the first person to let me know! 😂 I was still wondering if I ate it wrong 🤣

What a waste of a free meal he paid $20 for.🤣
Here's a suggestion;
Go to Christchurch and take the tranz-alpine train ride.
Another great video Brock, that food looked so good!
It was! Thanks for watching!
Hope you have tried Bundaberg Gingerbeer cant be beaten
Absolutely. One of Australia's best drinks. (Kiwis claiming Aussie stuff. Finally. Payback;)
The white layer on the cheese is MOULD!
But it's fine to eat. It's common in french cheeses like Camembert or Brie.
Iv traveled cook straight over forty times and I rather Bluebridge
Yes you eat the white on that cheese most likely Brie cheese which is very smooth and creamy
Wow its aways packed when im on
Brie cheese, the one with the white outside, is great. Evansdale Brie is hands down the best in NZ.
500MB is only 5 minutes when you're watching UA-cam.
Sad the ships are ghost towns , But I understand its a half hour flight or a 3 and a half hour cruise..
Flight will cost about $50 more , 3 hours saved is worth the trade off! That said I think all should experience this Cook Straight once at least!
omg, you're supposed to eat the meat, cheese, relish and cracker TOGETHER, lol. Good video, very informative, thanks!
Good morning Everyone 🌄
How much did the premium ticket cost
I'm waiting for R a u l f.
He he he.😂 food and rolling ship swaying ,looking at the porthole ~ horizon~ r a u l ff
You remind me of Steve Albini.
I suddenly realised Americans are so used to using paper plates you wondered if you would have to clean the china plate if you used it.😜
How do you eat so much? Haha
Looks like mold
