Hello from Ireland 🇮🇪👋😊 Recent subscriber and I absolutely love your videos! They're such an escape for me in the middle of this pandemic. Would absolutely LOVE to see New Zealand some day! Beautiful nature, amazing scenery...and RUGBY! what's not to love 😁😁😁
Hello from NZ 😁👋🇳🇿 We love that you're tuning into our vlogs from Ireland 🥰🇮🇪 Thanks so much for watching and supporting our channel 🙌❤️ We hope you'll be able to visit NZ some day too! Maybe catch a rugby game while you're here 😉👍
It was such a busy little spot! There were tons of people both in and out the water during the time we were there. NZ summers are so hot so can definitely understand that waterfall being a popular local spot 🙂👍
Cheers guys! We've made a few videos from Wellington before but definitely keen to go back again 🙂 please do let us know if there's any awesome hidden gems in the area that are must sees! 😉
I was rooting for you Peter to find some gold💰💰💰! Looked like a fun fun day...man, NZ is like one giant scenic national park. Thanks for taking us to another awesome place! Always looking forward to where you guys go next! Awesome you guys got to see glow worms😁😁😁
😂 that's such a good way to put it.. you're totally right though New Zealand really is one gigantic national park. If you like glow worms there's an entire region called waitomo which has tons of them in underground limestone caverns. Really amazing place yen's been once and I've been quite a few times. Never looked so hard at rocks in my life was really wanting to find that hidden nugget 😂
@@PeterandYen oh man, glow worms are so dang fascinating... they’re both creepy and mesmerizing (at least from the videos I watched - Waitomo would probably be my top destination choice for NZ)... tuataras and glow worms would take up a big portion of any trip we take to NZ... I would have laughed so hard (out of being ecstatic) if you found some gold... would have been awesome😁 Have a good week guys!
Thank you Peter and Yen! What a coincidence! I was doing my researchers yesterday because we want to do the Hauraki Rail Trail bike ride and found your video today!
O my gosh the food really blew us away on this one. It was absolutely delicious. We'll be going back to eat sometime soon I hope 😁 take care have a great weekend
Peter's face when getting on the wagon thingy 🤣🤣🤣🤣 WoW! That is a fantastic view from up there, I can imagine how cool it would be to have a coffee or something up there while enjoying those views. Yes please go back to the window, it is giving me anxiety just by looking at you in that dark cave!! 😬😬😬
Hahaha we weren't too keen on getting deeper into the tunnels especially given our track record with directions and getting lost 😂😂😂 the moment we saw that trolley though I just knew he was gonna climb in 🤣🤣
The cool tunnel is such a cool place to chill away from the hot sun! I (Hyekyong) would enjoying the walking to "the window". Thanks for sharing, guys!
gold mining in New Zealand never knew that suppose logical as New Zealand used to be part of the Australia land mass long ago seems unused now then interesting history nice waterfall at the Gorge there your food there looks nice fun views and a tunnel on your walk *left a big like👍Au😀full view from us*
Oh man.. I was really hoping you guys would find some gold while you were there! 😆💰💰 But those were some good facts, Peter! That’s the real gold, you should be proud. 👍🏼😆👍🏼
I hear you on reapplying the SPF, it is a must for me too, especially on hot days. Peter, your reactions are making me want to find this dish somewhere! That mals looks phenomenal and for a great price!
Good job with the facts, Peter. It's crazy how similar this area is to Durango in Colorado. We also visited a mining area and it was so much fun. Really enjoy towns like this, especially if they have great spots to eat. Maria is eyeing Peter's tuna plate. I want that pizza! Peter is having too much fun with that mining cart. Haha 😂 I can relate!
Colorado totally sounds like an awesome place to visit! Yea that Falls Retreat was a hidden gem 👌 The tuna was incredible 🤤🐟 hahaha Nabol you would've climbed into the cart too ay 😆👍
Waihi and Karangahake look like a great reason to travel to NZ guys! So cool we get to see it through you, who knows when we would make it there 😁😁 not this year for sure. Wow 5 million NZ dollars!! Yen, this time Peter got the facts, hahaha wondering if Yen will be giving us the facts later on this video or Peter is taking the highlight hahaha
Thanks guys! Hopefully you can make it here eventually but yea don't think it'll be this year unfortunately.. Yes! Crazy expensive to move the structure 300m ay 😮 haha Peter did great with those facts huh 😁🙌🙌
Awesome exploration of places with gold mining history guys! Too bad Peter didn't find any gold haha The Owharoa Falls looks like an oasis! I bet it must be really good to have a dip in the water. Never saw glow worms before, that must be fascinating to see 😍
Yea too bad no luck finding gold 😂 it was too dark for our camera to capture the glow worms unfortunately.. literally looked like little blue/green dots on the cave's ceiling but when you see them en masse in other parts of NZ (like in Waitomo) they're really incredible! 😮 Google some pics guys, you'll love it 😁👌
Hello guys from ... cold and snowy Moscow) Several years ago I lived and worked in NZ) It was the best time in my life. I fell in love with this wonderful country and "extremely friendly" kiwi people" .... I really miss New Zealand. You have excellent vlogs, I sit, watch and remember! Thank you! Good luck to you!)
O wow Moscow! Would love to visit one day. Maybe in summer don't think we can handle the winter 😅 hope you get a chance to come back and visit sometime 🤙
"I want to try to find some gold" says Peter while Yen being a realist haha! I did not expect Peter to get into that gold barrel too lol, then again, it's Peter, he's full of surprises :P The gold mine/tunnel is super cool, so interesting to see one!
Hahaha the moment I saw the barrel and Peter looking all excitedly at it I was like.. uh huh.. he's definitely gonna climb into it 😂😂😅 does Malaysia have gold mines?
Oh no... I joked earlier that we should make pizza for dinner, but now I’m REALLY hungry for pizza. Maybe no gold nuggets, but many nuggets of wisdom! 😳 I really thought you were going to tip over, Peter, whew, glad the cart stayed upright! Also, cinematic note: loved the b-roll shot where you zoomed up and did a slo-mo of the water dropping. Great effect and very cinematic. The quality of y’all’s videos is always 👌🏼
Hope you guys ended up having some delicious 🍕😁 hahaha I was shocked that the cart tipped ay 😂 thanks for noticing that slow mo our Fuji XT4 makes it nice and easy to capture 👍
Hi Peter and Yen, we’ve only discovered your videos tonight after going through others and thoroughly enjoyed watching it, so looked up ones you have done in the past. Love the Great humour and hope you did find bit of gold in. Waihi as well. I too didnt not of thse others places there in Waihi even though we used to stop off occasionally. Look fwd to more you plan too do too. Cheers Kevin/Sandra of Pukekohe NZ
Hiya Sandra and Kevin 🙂👋 Aw thank you guys! Glad you discovered our channel and you're enjoying our videos! We've made quite a few from NZ now 🙂👍 Sadly no gold found in Waihi for us hahaha but that tuna was incredible and an excellent hidden gem! 🤤 Take care you two ✌️🙂
@@PeterandYen hi kevin and Sandra of Pukekohe again. Have to say loved your one Peter riding to Tamaki Drive - and falling off was a worry to watch too 🤣😅😂as after riding motorbikes for 16yrs we’ve just bought eBIKES too and worry doing what you did when you fell. You made it look so easy when you recovers too. Lol. We were worried about your GoPro being damaged. Also Kevins thought that Japanese soupy dish was his kinda food too as looked similar to our Chinese soupy dishes as well. We are going to go back to watch all your other videos to catchup what you’ve seen. Enjoy your trips and keep safe too guys. Keep up the great humour too. Cheers Kevin & Sandra Pukekohe NZ
Thank you both for watching our videos hope you're enjoying them. Hahahaha I fall quite often so I'm used to recovering or taking the hit. Yen unfortunately fell in the milford sound vlog 😅 that was such a worry!
That's quite a deep dig from the mining site. I wonder during the rainy season whether all water would go & accumulated there or absorb all into the ground, just my thought hahaa😅
Really does ay! We have barely scratched the surface too I reckon. Still got plenty to explore and especially more in the South Island 👍🙂 Hope you and the fam are all well Tony!
Never knew NZ had a gold mining history! very interesting lol yup that is a bit steep for the real thing haha. whoooooa so much to move it. Peter's new segment, Mr Facts time lol. OMG that back slap hahah ouch! That dish is looking very gourmet! Pizza is fresh as! hahaha pete is determined for that gold. LOLLLL that pose in the barrel! The look says "Yen cmon in" hahahha. So awesome the cave and capturing Yen on the other end.
Yea! There's more of it in the South Island but Waihi is famous for it in the North Island 🙂👍 must be tons of gold mines in Australia ay? Lolol Peter is a man child for sure 😂 tried to push the trolley too hoping I could pull him along in it but it was (thankfully) chained 🤣🤣
The waterfall looks so much fun, nice and chilly! OMG that tuna dish and pizza look amazing!! I'd trade those dishes with my Malaysian dishes with you guys haha!!
That thumbnail made me thought of Taylor Swift.. 😄.. (gold rush song) We would always pass by waihi but i had no idea a falls exist in there 😬 thanks to you guys hehe
Hahaha 🤣 ooo maybe you can check out the falls next time and also the bistro near it. Really amazing that tuna! 🤤🐟 So glad we got recommended that place ☺️
It'll be interesting to see what's in the gold mine! Good job Peter with the facts! 😁 I feel related when you guys say you're sweating and complaining about the heat haha! I thought you guys never sweat in NZ :P
Yea! The tours can bring you inside the gold mine pit and the other experience teaches you about how it's done 👍 hahaha oh if we're out in the sun long enough and walking about etc def sweat but it's worse here coz you can also easily get sun burnt! It's not just humid heat sorta thing 🥵
hi guys. called there on my way to whitianga didnt stop for long as i was limited for time but thanks as i now have seen the bits that i missed , must say i am not a great pizza lover but that pizza yen had looked delish, .the waterfall looked much like one of the two waterfalls at mclaren falls. oh guys i do so look forward to your videos so nice to take my mind of covid but so jealous of you all in N Z. haha, stil whooopee should get my vaccination jab within the next 2 or 3 weeks time so with some luck travel will be soon on the horizon, stay safe both and happy travels
Hiya Barry 👋🙂 ooo that's good you're able to get the vaccination soon ❤️ Yes! Hopefully international travel will be in the cards again soon and you'll be able to return to NZ and check out all the places you wanted to see 🙂🤞 Take good care and keep us updated on how things are with you ❤️
@@PeterandYen it was awesome, with lots of sun and not too crowded. I went with 2 good friends and it was a fun challenge but not as difficult as I expected. I'd definitely do it again!
That's so awesome congrats and well done! 😁🙌🙌 Hope the lakes were looking extra blue and green 💙💚 We just got back from our trip too and passed Tongariro on the way 🙂
It's an incredible place ay! Glad you got to visit it when it wasn't so crowded too.. when we went felt a bit like lemmings at one point lol. But that moment when you get to see the lakes from the top and the steam just rising from the ground.. amazing 👌🙂 Have you got another adventure lined up next? 😁
I love this! I always thought of Waihi more as a stop of over on my road trips and not really a place to sightsee. Pretty interesting facts 😄 Your guys food looks so good! Awesome tunnels! Haha that bird at the end, hope your heads alright Peter 😂
Hahaha Peter 😅😅 such a drama queen 😆 but yea it was cool visiting these places (again it was thanks to some viewers!) Btw thanks heaps for binging our videos hahaha 😁❤️❤️ hope you guys are well!
Looks like a wonderful day out! I love some good, succulent tuna meat! It clashes with my striving to eat as little long distance imported food as possible (no tuna in the North Sea) so I very rarely eat it, but that makes it all the more delicious when I do cave in.
It was a great day, this summer has been awesome so far. Arr I see is that to be more conscious of the environment? Or is it cause it loses some of the freshness?
Another great video guys ❤️ I thought Peter was going to end up doing the mine chase from Indiana Jones lol Great to see some of the more unusual places too - more to add to my list!
@@PeterandYen if you enjoyed that place, then you'd love Denniston Mine north of Westport on the South Island. I went 3 years ago and absolutely loved it! www.denniston.co.nz/ Whilst you're there you should check out the Oprarara Arches - www.westcoast.co.nz/plan-your-trip/oparara-arches/
@@rob1971 Yea! We were thinking of visiting Denniston Mine and/or Millerton Incline, both look really awesome. Didn't know about Oprarara Arches though, thanks for the recommendation 😁👍
@@PeterandYen I was blown away by the mine! I visited with a German I traveled with for a few days in 2018 and we both found it fascinating. Be sure to take warm clothes though, as it's pretty exposed and a steep drive to get to it. I've not made it as far as the arches yet, but hope to on my next visit...
@@PeterandYen and if you're looking for somewhere reasonably local to stay I can recommend Beaconstone Eco Lodge. I stayed on my first visit to NZ a decade ago and have been back every visit since. beaconstoneecolodge.com/
Arrrh...missed you guys again...was there 3 weeks ago. Blueberry farm in Ngatea is a must stop (sneaky icecreams 🍦 😋). Was that a DJI man bag you were wearing near the open cast mine Peter ?...lol...its the only bag my wife has ever seen me wear...she hates carrying my keys, wallet etc etc. Check out my deep south video if you have time ...and stay AWESOME out there. Much luv your easty beachlands neighbours.
Yoo bro hahaha always love a good blueberry ice cream and blueberries in general. It's the bag for our main camera 😁 the camera and mic fit in just nice 👌 yeah dude definitely will check your deep south videos it out sounds awesome!
Hey guys 👦 !....if thats the first beach pics it is Wharariki Beach...near farewell spit at the top of the South Island. There are famous arch rock islands that used to be a windows homescreen pic. Its an epic location...bit of mission to get there as over the Takaka hill...but truly inspiring scenery...low tide is best but what out for the sealions...especially when exploring caves !....wifey almost had a heart attack!...traumatized for life 😜.
Hahahaha awesome sounds like an epic trip! Gonna write both those places down for when we visit again. Might head over in Feb we will see how things go 😁
I love how they still give you the option to buy a fake gold bar 😂😂 in Poland there was a mine that had a challenge that if you can hold up a real gold bar with just two fingers for 1 minute you get to take it home but I don't think anyone ever managed to do it
Oh my goodness that sounds like such an awesome challenge!!! We would both definitely try.. and I can picture Peter training for it too just to try win that gold bar! 😆👍
Olá Lucelia 🙂👋 I actually talk faster in real life usually (Yen here) but I have to remember to try slow down when we make our videos 😅 I probably forget a bit sometimes still though sorry 😅😅 hope you can understand us regardless! 😁
