Final Episode: Stranded in Paradise | 8th Continent Series 🌏
Join us in the breathtaking conclusion of our "8th Continent" adventure as we explore the untamed beauty of New Zealand's South Island in March 2020. From the world-renowned vineyards of Marlborough to the surreal landscapes of Fiordland National Park, every moment is a step into the pages of a visual diary.
In this episode, we dive into the heart of New Zealand's wine country, savoring the crisp Sauvignon Blancs and exploring vineyards that paint a lush picture of the region's agrarian lifestyle. Unexpected geological wonders await at Ward Beach with its mystifying Moeraki Boulders, and the adorable fur seals of the Oahu overlook provide an unexpected twist to our journey.
As we venture further, the serene yet rugged terrains of the Southern Alps beckon, leading us to hidden trails and secluded lakes that are straight out of a fairytale. But as the global backdrop shifts with the COVID-19 pandemic, our journey takes a dramatic turn. Stranded far from home, we face closures and travel restrictions, turning our adventure into a race against time to return safely.
Experience the climax of our series where stunning natural beauty meets unforeseen challenges. Watch as we navigate the complexities of a world in flux, all while capturing moments of pure wonder and raw emotion. Don't miss out on the powerful finale that reminds us why we travel: to explore, to discover, and to connect.

All natural scenery and backdrops. Film producers love it.

No exceptions....what a professional footage and real story dated back to the COVID period we all familiar with .... Love to hear from Tom and Caitlin story of adventures and looking forward for your next episode ❤

@MortonsontheMove Месяц назад

We are so glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the kind words.

What a time. What a place. Thanks for sharing the journey.

You guys make the absolute best rv travel videos. Also Cait in yoga pants.... Wow

I've thoroughly enjoyed watching these videos, as I have your others, although certainly felt your anxiety towards the end. I'm a NZ'er who was travelling in a Wilderness motorhome when we were locked down. Like you I stayed in freedom camping sites with little or no cell service and was almost oblivious to the situation until I checked in at a campground in Picton. Oops! The drive back to Christchurch seemed endless the next day but Wilderness and the motel I managed to book for 2 nights before flying home to the North Island were wonderfully helpful. I was able to carry on with my journey while our borders were still closed and the quiet roads and campsites were blissful! Thank you for all the adventures you've been sharing.

@Wandering_Kerrs Месяц назад

You always have the most stunning photography! And very good story telling too. Thanks. I am glad that you finally were able to get your story out.

@olebloom1641 Месяц назад

I did not expect to enjoy this series as much as I have. Brings back the C19 memories. Glad y'all were able to get back with a modicum of trouble.

@rjenkins133 11 дней назад

Amazing - We were also on the south island during the start of the covid lockdown.

@jimngina720 Месяц назад

Thanks so much for sharing your journey to New Zealand! What an epic adventure in spite of Covid, which as we know changed all our lives. Keep exploring!! We love watching both your channels!

@calledtojourney Месяц назад

So glad that you still had a great time in NZ, but what a bummer to have your trip cut short PLUS all that anxiety of getting back to the north island, then getting back to LA, and finally back home! NZ certainly had among, if not THE, most stringent restrictions back then of any place in the world. It's definitely still on our bucket list to visit though! 🏞🚐

@MortonsontheMove Месяц назад

Well it made sense since they are an island nation, but we loved it overall and hope to go back someday.

@danpedraza9586 17 дней назад

I would love to head to New Zealand one day.

@placesonthelist Месяц назад

We just finished our month long tour of New Zealand. 23 days in a campervan,

@MortonsontheMove Месяц назад

amazing! Were jealous :)

@KeetahHudson Месяц назад

It may be an island but it definitely feels bigger when your actually driving in it

@jayt2387 Месяц назад

That is sooo cool! I have heard all kinds of things about Australia's Outback as a special place. I hear about New Zealand less so. You guys sold me! One day I'll get to the country too. I don't think I've seen such beautiful footage of mountains and lakes. You got good filming weather. I think glacier swimming has got to be one of those once-in-a-lifetime things to do! And that freedom camping site! Adding New Zealand road travel to my bucket list! Lovely video, Mortons!

If you think walking up those steps was hard work, imagine the work it took to build each and every step...

@jamiewalters4 Месяц назад

Another delightful episode. NZ definitely has some stunning scenery. Also very interesting to look back at that time with the benefit of hindsight and knowledge we have now and didn't then. Must have been very unsettling, not knowing when/if you could get home, and what we were facing. Hopefully if we ever face something similar, people, leaders and governments will have learned from this experience and not make the many same mistakes. Sadly, I have serious doubts if that would be the case. Did I mention how gorgeous the landscapes are? We can't wait to make a trip ourselves! Is there another NZ episode, or is that it? How much of your trip was cut short? Plans to go back? And... Cait plays piano?!? Missed that until now somehow!

@MortonsontheMove Месяц назад

We only lost about a 10 days, but yes we would love to go back someday! Prob wont happen, but thinking it would be fun to ship out truck camper down there someday, then over to Australia!

@joyeyoder4783 Месяц назад

I am so sad that your trip got cut short and hope you are able to go back and complete it someday. NZ is so beautiful and a country I hope to go back to someday.

@MortonsontheMove Месяц назад

Thanks! We did love it and hope to go back too!

Those spheres were soo different than anything I've ever seen! Fun 360 "tiny world" camera work. 😍 Stunning views, beautiful video. Great capture of the rainbow. Stunning waterfall. What a striking tree, truly a photographers favorite. It's fascinating to me that you are just releasing a video that the content was from 4 years ago. - Michelle

@MortonsontheMove Месяц назад

Thanks! It is such a stunning place. The first episode explains why

@airstreamer Месяц назад

@@MortonsontheMove Ok, we will have to check that out. Thanks!

You should lookup Colin on Parley Revival while you’re there. They are doing New Zealand as well

I too was on vacation in oregon when covid hit, I had to cancel the rest of it as Oregon and California were shutting down and so I drove from Bend Oregon to San Francisco and next day drove non stop to Tucson, AZ, of course not as bad as your situation being thousands of miles further, since then I bought a Honda Goldwing and have traveled through 45 of the 48 lower states in the last 3 years, hoping to finish them this summer, so happy travels to you as well.....Javi G.

Such a strange time to live through. There is still much we have to learn about the Covid 19 response (including the vaccines) - I fear we are not prepared for another outbreak event.

@bmwbob51 Месяц назад

You're probably aware that New Zealand is also famous for trout fishing. trout are not native and were transplanted from the McCloud River near Mount Shasta California.

No way!
