I have enjoyed all of your videos, well shot, well edited and great commentary. The best thing about your videos is that you appear to be a very nice couple. It is a pleasure to watch you both enjoy each other and what you are sharing together. Loved your excitement at you Hobbiton trip, we loved it too.

@AbbieandWiebe 3 года назад

That is so incredibly nice of you! Thank you so much for watching and coming along with us! There were so many fantastic parts of our trip, but Hobbiton was just geeking out for me (Wiebe) 😍

@@AbbieandWiebe Continue your travels and I will be along for the ride, but don't forget Australia. Uluru is a once in a lifetime experience.

There have been many fatal accidents from foreigners driving on the wrong side of the road, the arrows you see painted on the road frequently after one lane Bridges are there for that reason

@AbbieandWiebe 4 года назад

That must be so hard for the people who live in New Zealand. Are you from NZ? I felt like I really had to concentrate and focus, but by the time we left I felt like a pro! Haha!

@rogerb4436 3 года назад

I live in Auckland New Zealand and am a professional truck driver and it bad driving here in NZ but also there's the element of foreign drivers forgetting we drive on opposite sides and there has been a lot of crashes due to foreign drivers in the wrong lane as a mind slip. That's why you might have noticed the arrow and or keep left on your dashboard.

@AbbieandWiebe 3 года назад

Oh yeah I can imagine. We were constantly reminding each other 'left side, stay left'. But after a week or so it wasn't bad.

I've discovered your channel and enjoying your videos of you two touring my home country. Just wanted to say I totally feel you on the motion sickness. My family and I went on the Milford Sound tour (the one day super bus/boat tour from Queenstown). That day, we happened to catch some good weather, so the boat crew decided to take us all the way to the Tasman Sea and man, was I green after that. Ginger is your best friend in those cases! Also, your note on driving is very true. It's either tourists forgetting to stay on the left hand side of the road, or it's commuting Kiwis who are used to that road so much that they start to get too relaxed. I've been overtaken by cars around the Coromandel and Cathedral Cove, where there are a lot of hairpin bends.

@AbbieandWiebe 3 года назад

Thank you so much for reaching out and for the encouragement! I agree, I should have used some form of ginger. Motion sickness is the worst, haha! We did the overnight versus the bus tour because I knew all day on the road and then going onto the water wouldn't be a fun experience. That's one of the main reasons I always drive (to keep from getting motion sick). What area do you live in? Is it in the Coromandel area? That would be a dream area to live in!! So beautiful!

@emmae8857 3 года назад

@@AbbieandWiebe Ah fair enough, taking things in moderation is better if you're prone to motion sickness. I'm actually from the Hobbiton area of NZ, but I'm living overseas right now. The last time we went back home to visit, we went to Hahei for a couple of days so have experienced that winding journey!

@@emmae8857 the area around Hobbiton was truly one of our favorites, it was incredibly beautiful!

Wow how Manapouri has changed when I did the trip we went over in a small boat and travelled down to Doubtful Sound in a small van spent two days kayaking on the sound both day temperature was in the 30's.

@AbbieandWiebe 3 года назад

A kayaking trip sounds awesome! Maybe one day we will make it back and do something like that.

@CapitalVideo 3 года назад

I did the same boat trip at Manapouri and was thinking about how long ago this was as it would have been in 1991 and so I guess things will have changed a bit since then.

@AbbieandWiebe 3 года назад

I will have to try that! thanks for the suggestion! And yes! Those sandflys!

The sand flies there are relentless and bite with passion You guys have seen more of NZ than some kiwis

@AbbieandWiebe 3 года назад

Oh yeah, the Doubtful Sound area was definitely the worst for sand flies

@carmellitale-man2671 3 года назад

Unfortunately those idiots are out on the roads many tourists have caused fatal accidents thinking we are a small country and they will be fine driving our roads are winding and they cross lanes etc this topic has actually gone before the prime minister's office before kiwis were getting really concerned love you guys blogs hope your both doing well with the covid situation we are covid free enjoying the summer feeling for you all in the states

@AbbieandWiebe 3 года назад

Yes we can see that just in our short time driving around NZ. Thank you for the support! We're doing great, just trying to stay busy. Jealous of you all living a more 'normal' life there! Stay safe!

@josephbradshaw3294 3 года назад

How much does it cost per person

@AbbieandWiebe 3 года назад

I believe it depends on the season because I think we paid more than the website is currently showing, but we also went in the summer. Here is their website so you can see what the cost is when you plan to go. www.realjourneys.co.nz/en/experiences/cruises/doubtful-sound-overnight-cruises/

@Andy_M986 4 года назад

It's usually Foreigners that cause the accidents on those roads,so many have been caught,and their keys taken off them for dangerous driving,and yes, i am going to point the finger,at Asians,because they have the highest statistics. I have seen videos of them drifting over the lanes,driving erratically and slowly,holding up other cars.

@AbbieandWiebe 4 года назад

You defiantly have to be a good defensive driver to stay safe!
