Kusatsu onsen is a small town and a great place for an overnight stay. We enjoyed strolling around the Yubatake area which is illuminated at night time.
Due to a limited time we only stayed in Sendai overnight. We reckon it is a city worth exploring further. The visit to the Snow Monkey Park was on our to do list. It was an incredible experience to watch the Japanese Macaques doing their playful antics. 😀
the reason so many Danes moved to New Zealand and called their town Dannevirke was that in 1864 we lost the defensive fortress Dannevirke in a war to Germany and southern Denmark.. and all the Danes who lived in the lost country were no longer allowed to speak Danish or write in Danish or to have any Danish things according to German law and therefore move the great many from the German dictatorship that was placed over them... so you can say it was political refugees who started this city. greetings from a Dane
The snow festival did not disappoint. The venue was busy especially at night time. The food stalls offered a variety of dishes. We enjoyed the miso ramen at Ramen Alley. Share us your thoughts if you have been or planning to go to Sapporo. 😀
This is our walk in the first week of the new year. This walk served an effective way to burn off those indulgent puddings we had over the festive season. 😃
@@norpriest521 We went there in February this year. The first time we went to Hooker Valley was in May it was freezing but we still did the walk. Check the weather before you go. Don’t forget to layer up if you will do the walk in winter. Thank you for watching this video.
Love to get outta this concrete jungle and escape to the South island and refresh my heart, soul & spirit. Have been there and is a grandeur destination for all.

Happened to drive this road by accident once (as Google Maps told us it was the fastest route from New Plymouth to Taupo (spoiler alert: it wasn't)). Super happy we ended up taking the route though, incredible to see the dense and rich nature in "the middle of nowhere" in New Zealand!
This was very interesting to watch! I learned about the history of Norsewood just a few days ago. As a Norwegian, I'm quite fascinated by it all. I lived in Auckland, New Zealand in 2019 and happened to drive through Norsewood without knowing about its Norwegian history. Wish I would've known and taken the time to visit it properly. Hope to someday return to go see what it's like. Can't imagine what an existence it must've been for the first settlers and founders of this village! Thank you for making the video.
Hi Patrik, Norsewood is a small town with an interesting history that is worth exploring. It is nice to see the town has preserved some of its Scandanavian history. 😀
Some of the best scenic views and diverse sceneries in New Zealand can be found in the South Island. We hope you enjoy this vlog and the rest of the episodes to come.😀
