OUR LAST DAY IN VINNIE!! We are so sad, but it has to be done. Owen and I drove to Christchurch Airport to pick up our rental car, then before dropping our camper van off we gave a quick (and loud) tour of what was our home for the last couple of weeks.
Once we dropped Vinnie off, we drove to our AirBnb in Sumner near Christchurch and were wow'ed by the beautiful views. We had an incredible lunch and finished the night off with relaxing in our tiny home while watching a thunder and lightening storm.
Some days, you just have to relax.

Would you (or could you) ever live in a camper van full time?

When I was 25 or so, I had a 1966 VW Westphalia camper van and loved it! I regret selling it many many years ago. I think I'm into big canvas tents like the Kodiak or Springbar for car luxury camping. www.kodiakcanvas.com/12-x-9-ft-cabin-tent-with-deluxe-awning/ My car gets 40mpg and no van can match that.
Love that you said 'chilly bin' - you've been Kiwi-ised! That means you're going to have to come back... :)
Owen made sure I said that in the video 🤣🤣
MsHGH I agree, kiwis for life now

Go an see the redwood trees that was taken to nz from Canada because the nz soil was healthy for the trees but go an see it in the evening it’s absolutely out of this world
Yay! A new video babe. :)
Finally 😅
FYI...wanted to tell you one reason your channel is popular Jennifer is youre so down to earth...endearing...and sentimental....lover of animals...and almost always take the time to reply to comments...thank you...chow !!
Of course, Jimbo!! Thank you so much for the kind words. 💜
The tree is a Norfolk Pine
Love them
That toilet with the ass in the wind must have been a reminder of the pleasant moments of the PCT behind a bush
Hahahahahaha
I like van tour also little rambo...lol I say that cause youre so fiesty and energetic....being in a van is cool to rode trip...lol you can pull over wherever legal...crawl in back lock it up go to sleep....be advised theyre starting to crack down on van dwellers here in the states in some places....always like to see your vids burst....I know youre an engineer and in my mind I keep envisioning you with your hair up...yur black rimmed glasses and a clipboard (like kelly mcgillis in top gun) telling some navy guys how to get more speed out of a submarine or battleship....lol anyway i like your glasses...lookin forward to more road trip vids in the states...stay safe...have fun !!!
Hahaha I like that word: fiesty! Thanks for all the support once again, Jimbo!
MAYBE... because Norfolk Island is near New Caledonia, which is the northern tip of the (now official 8th continent) Zealandia, ...that the Norfolk Pine is a Zealandia Pine?
All I know is I want one! Haha
With all that hiking to get up to the cottage, I think I would have kept the camper. LOL
Hahah right!?
The bee at 8:47 appears to be a buff-tailed bumblebee Bombs terrestris. Because they are extremely efficient futilizers, bumblebees were introduced to New Zealand over 100 years ago to fertilize crops
I hope it turned out to be a good thing! 🐝
NORFOLK PINE.
☺
Remember when you return to visit Taranaki and check out that waterfall and the enchanted track.. as well as the Pouakai crossing.
12:12 Araucaria heterophylla is native to Norfolk Island between NZ and New Caledonia but a widely grown ornamental tree in NZ.
I heard that is beautiful!
Wow! New Zealand is amazing! Been following you since the PCT! You're so Inspiring! I've started my own UA-cam channel!
That is so awesome!!! What do you make videos on? 😃
@@JenniferMabus Hiking! Check it out! I live conveniently next to the Appalachian Trail in GA. I did trail magic last year at Blood Mountain. I've also lived out west in Oregon. Miss it so much! Nothing like the mountains out West!
I can't feeling that we're getting near the end of your trip and not many more videos to come. You both seemed a little tired and almost getting into going home mood. You will certainly have a lot of memories to take back with you. I for one will miss not clicking on to watch your latest adventure. You've done so much, that I in my youth did here and also a lot that I wouldn't have a bar of. (The Nevis Swing for one,) I must compliment you on the quality/standard of your camera work and the steadiness of the moving shots such as in the car.
You have never been boring and you've shown an affection for the beauty and varieties of scenery in my Country which I share wholeheartedly, even the variable weather every couple of hours or so. Looking forward to seeing the remainder of clips very much.
You love the van? . . . If you haven't seen any of it yet I bet you would get a blast out of the Channel "Hasta Alaska" A one-of-a-kind 5 Years Adventure Travel series, driving a VW Bus from Chile to Alaska on the Pan-American Highway. Five YEARS on the Pan American Highway. I've watched about half of it, I got distracted watching your PCT series :o)
That sounds awesome! I'll definitely check those videos out. Thank you. :)
Thanks for all your NZ videos, they've given me some inspiration for my upcoming trip to NZ! Even though you got stormed in, I think it's nice to be able to go on holidays and then just relax and do nothing for a day, soak in your environment.
I totally agree! We enjoyed our view and little hideaway!
i am so much happy . first i am the first person watching . second i love so much New Zealand . i wish one day visit
You definitely should! And thank you for the support. 💜💜
So far I now have two things added to my "Things to do in life list", hike sections of the PCT (gotta see Mammoth again.. it's been a while) and visit New Zealand!! That tiny cottage was small but the View & Bathroom looked awesome!
Ya the tiny house was so beautiful!!
You certainly found some cute accommodation, in all forms. I hope you do get a camper back home sooner rather than later (perhaps even a liveable RV that you can use to travel all over and make some wonderful videos???) before you forget the fun and flexibility you had. You packed so much into an amazing few weeks that it was no wonder you 'crashed' in Christchurch. The dog was just making sure you stayed there and rested. Lovely again, thank you.
Beautiful place. Great shower. Keep adventuring.
Thank you, Gayle. 💜
The city I was born in. Today here in Christchurch is the nine year anniversary of the 2011 devastating earthquake. (22-2-20). My sister lost her mum in the CTV building collapse. Thanks for some super coverage of NZ and sharing your journey. We look forward to seeing you again. KiaKaha
Oh wow, I am so incredibly sorry. That is devastating and heartbreaking. Thank you for sharing with me.
Loosing vinnie, so sad. You had some,
Good times! That Airbnb is awesome and the view is fantastic. The blue water was great. That food!!! Now I'm hungry! Haha.
Oh the food was fantastic!!
Wellington has a heap of stairs to climb lol I got puffed just watching you guys going up, but the views were certainly worth the 'hike'. Thanks Vinnie for keeping ur tyres (tires) pumped. We think they're awesome too 😉
Vinnie is the MVP!
We're looking at renting a campervan for our family roadtrip to Yellowstone and theTetons this fall. We normally camp everywhere we go, but that time of year weather can get sketchy.
I highly recommend it! But that’s why the van is amazing vice a tent. 🤣
lol Chilly Bin... It begins.
😂😂
I'd love to live in a camper van fulltime
Same!
Even road warriors need a break.😊 Appreciate the tour of the van, thanks for squeezing that in! Your cute little space in the hills looks amazing! Did you ever make friends with the pup? 🤞🏼❌⭕️’s
The pup went away and never came around again 🤣😭
The Whimsical Woman aww, bummer...I think. 🥰
Awesome little van, must have been fun~
It really was!
My dad used to say "Ex-scape" like you too.
I used to say “expresso” instead of “espresso”. I’m still working on my English. 🤣
@@JenniferMabus ha ha, cute 🙂👍
😊
💜
The climb up to your Airbnb was steeper than some of your hikes. After the fifth switchback I would have been thinking about cowboy camping.
We were also carrying all of our luggage. Could you hear me panting out of breath!? 🤣🤣
@@JenniferMabus No, I couldn't hear you panting. I was laughing too hard thinking that if you went much higher you would see Heidi and her grandfather.
