Join us for a STUNNING trek along Taylors Mistake Track! I want to apologize in advance for the sound quality in this video. The wind was very strong and I clearly need to invest in a microphone! It was a beautiful day and we got to enjoy the sun and even see some lambs. I highly recommend this track if you visit Christchurch!

Hello! My name is Katie Eisenmenger (pronounced eyes-en-ming-er) and my husband, Keaton, and I moved from Nebraska, USA to Christchurch, New Zealand! I wanted to make this page as a way to document this wild journey. I would absolutely love to connect with anyone that is also making the move to NZ or any Kiwis that can offer some advice along the way! As the beginning of our last name is pronounced "eyes" I thought "Eis On New Zealand" would be the perfect channel name. I can't wait to document this journey for our memories and to also share it with all of you! 😄 Feel free to follow me on instagram @katiekeis_ 🥰

Katie, always take a sun hat with you when outdoors , especially in our summer. Our sun can be a killer ( melanoma ) even folk with olive or dark skin can be caught out. Please. Love having you here. Enjoy ☺️

@cadifan 2 года назад

In NZ the official dates for the seasons are 1st Sep. for spring, 1st Dec. for summer, 1st Mar. for autumn, 1st Jun. for winter. That's because that's when the weather and temperatures change.

Yes CHCH is incredible in summer. Middle of summer will see sun rise at 5am and set at 9.30pm. Enjoy

Awesome vid, NZ is always windy this time of the year, it's called the roaring 40s. Once the wind stops you know summer is here and it will be hot, very hot. Bring on daylight savings 🙌

You should expect a lot of false starts to spring. But the sun is lethal, even when it might feel quite cool.

Hi guys! Beautiful weather and an awesome video! Taylors Mistake is a typical fantastic walk around Banks Peninsular and you're right - there are few sights to compare with the sun rising over the Pacific Ocean. I realise you have had a sometimes trying winter, but one of the reasons I love Christchurch is the temperate, 4 season climate. I think you will love Christchurch in summer. By the way, congrats to Katie on getting her job!

@eisonnewzealand 2 года назад

Thank you so much! We are excited for summer for sure!

It's going to hard freeze apparently Tuesday morning like -3 or -4 be prepared to be cold again for a day also very cool the next couple of days too but looks like your got a great day.

@eisonnewzealand 2 года назад

Very surprised by the snow this morning. My fingers are crossed that is the last of it

@QuickeMart 2 года назад

The spiky leafed... leaved... leafed?!... the trees with the spiky leaves is the Cabbage tree or tī kōuka. They're pretty much everywhere in New Zealand apart from way down south and in fiordland. They are important in Maori culture, used as food, fibres for textiles, medicine and were used as landmarks for navigation and territorial claims. My favorite New Zealand native is the horoeka or lancewood tree. Very distinctive foliage and just something straight out of jurassic park. Loving the videos and seeing you both getting out and enjoying our country, you'll never get bored if you're outdoorsy in New Zealand.

@eisonnewzealand 2 года назад

Thank you so much for the info!

@jonathanmoeg1202 2 года назад

@Karoristateofmind If by 'way down south' you mean Southland I can assure you that they are common as muck down there. Fiordland too. Still a good comment though :)

@adriannegentleman83 2 года назад

you will have noticed by now the weather has gotten really cold tonight, Christchurch is well known for promising a nice spring, with a few nice days when the sun warms everything, and then reveting to a final wintery blast, some years it's when we get snow.

@eisonnewzealand 2 года назад

Can’t believe there was snow on the cars this morning!

@runforrestrun1965 2 года назад

Don’t be fooled, whilst it’s now just gone spring, NZ still has winters sting in the tail. Every year people get fooled and get caught out in a sudden bad patch of weather. Even farmers spring lambs get caught in a sudden snowstorm down south. As always, ensure you take layers of clothing in case you need it!😊 Not sure where you’re from in the US, but New Zealand doesn’t get really hot like parts of the northern hemisphere or Australia. We generally are a temperate mild climate mostly, summer whilst nice doesn’t reach the hot 40celcius like weeks here, if it ever does it’s a day or two and only in very isolated areas. Generally high 20’s, low 30s if that in most parts, so its lovely and means you can be outdoors for longer. (You certainly can’t be outside for long in an Australian summer when they get heatwaves in the 40’s for long stretches). Take sunscreen though. Even our mild summer temps can burn you here.😮

@taniahollis8571 2 года назад

Beautiful tracks. Some get closed during lambing season so make sure you check the signs at the start for dates on that (or the council / Department of Conservation will have it on their website for any tracks they looks after)

@eisonnewzealand 2 года назад

We noticed a “Lambing in progress” sign at the beginning of the track!

@elettewheeler7893 2 года назад

Careful of climbing out onto headland rocks. If the surf is up fishermen sometimes get swept off by random waves. The ozone hole has repaired.

@thomaslawry5238 2 года назад

Get a good Aussie drovers hat, to protect from sunburn......baseball caps don't cut it! In the NZ schools they teach the children to "Slip, Slop, Slap"... Slip on a t-shirt, Slop on lots of sunscreen, Slap on a hat! FYI. 5/8 of a mile is one kilometre.

@mdsaifulislam2511 2 года назад

@johanmeischke9189 2 года назад

The ozone hole according to the latest geophysical, geochemical data is vertually non existent. The sun intensity in NZ is probably more the result of very little polution rather than a practically non existent ozone hole

@runforrestrun1965 2 года назад

I believe in fact there was/is never an actual “ozone hole” over NZ, just an area with less ozone. It’s a great myth and good headline grabber for newspapers and catchy slogan for sound bites perpetuated by climate activists. Funny how they said it would take multiple decades to be replenished, if ever, yet here we are, almost normal! Yet greenhouse gases still going up.

@pianoman4967 2 года назад

Thanks for the tour. Always love seeing what you're up to. Respectfully suggest a camera upgrade with a more efficient microphone to save us the lip reading. Yes l realise it was a windy day but it'll prove it's worth in other situations as well. And with your editing, maybe a little less of the fast forward would be cool. An example is of Keaton's 'delicate' climb off the rocks. Please don't take these observations as criticism, just trying to help a little.👍🏻💖

@eisonnewzealand 2 года назад

Yes, I noted in the description that the sound wasn’t great due to the wind. Quality equipment does cost a bit and since I’m doing this for fun and not income, I must prioritise other things first when it comes to spending money. I hope you understand.

@pianoman4967 2 года назад

@@eisonnewzealand Sorry l bought it up Katie. (Incidentally you can buy a wind blocker for your phone or very easily make one for near free. I have. Google has some great ideas!)

@EzzzyE 2 года назад

I find it funny you telling Keaton to walk on the left; I was always taught that the first rule is women an children go to the safest side, e.g., further away from the road/cliff-edge/riverbank etc., then the elderly. Then we tend to reverts to keeping left, simply because that's what we do when driving... but I've never heard of a set etiquette for which side you pass on.

@eisonnewzealand 2 года назад

Interesting! I’ve never heard of that. I’ve always been told to pass on the same side as traffic would!

The NZ trees are cabbage trees I am sure they have a Maori name but I don't know it, a while back I think they were threatened with the big E as some disease was attacking them but I guess they solved that as I see a lot more of them now days.

Yeah gym fitness doesn't relate v well to other physical activitie. For eg often rugby commentators will refer to players who are " match fit".
