@@roberthall7117 Tēnā koe 😊 We are back home in Taranaki now but send lots of love to the South Island and hope everyone is staying safe and well. Have a great week Robert, Liz and Bri 😊
@@ItsaDrama ❤️❤️❤️ Ngā mihi Liz 🙂... Awesome. i bet you loved the places you visited. You and Brian enjoy the rest of the week and weekend. 🙂🙂👍👍 Arohanui Robbie 🙂
Cooped up for too long? That would be me! ;) I have to say this video gave me some VERY positive vibes! Hope to see the Dunner gang in the next episode.
@@berttroubleyn3475 especially for you my friend 😘 We made a seperate podcast episode with the Zoomies where we chatted to them about settling into their new life in Dunedin, I think you will love it! Hopefully our in the new year ❤️😁
I’m bloody addicted to this channel ever since I can’t across it only a few days ago. Ex pat living abroad since 2008, making me home sick... You both have a great Aura! Much love... Jonny.
I was born in 69 rural Nelson, grew up on a huge farm with streams running through it and rivers nearby and waitbaited as children. Mom's Waitbait Fritters were so good! Dad would go down to Kaikoura in 70s with friends for a long weekend or week and return and fill the bathtub up with a dozen or more huge red crayfish hahaha. Feast time.
Just want to say a massive thank you for the smiles and POSITIVITY you bring to every video. From a kiwi across the world, I love the radiant energy you both bring to your art (video creation is absolutely an art), and are always able to provide me a little bit of warmth even when I'm having a less than perfect day :) Please keep it up!
Oh...Thank you so much for this lovely, kind comment, it means such a lot to us. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Have a wonderful week, sending you lots of smiles and kiwi warmth ❤️🇳🇿 Liz and Bri xx
Sorry but the main reason for me commenting was that we were browsing around a flea shop in our village and I came across a framed black and white print of the Maoraki Bolders which ist now hanging in our holiday house in Portugal.
How bizarre is that? You don't say where you are in the world but I'm guessing it isbn't NZ? I am so glad that you did stop and comment Peter, it was nice to hear from you, thank you 😊
Glad I found your channel! My father was born and breed in New Plymouth but Ive been living for 45 years in Europe. Five years ago we bought a.house on the silver coast of Portugal. It has 1000s of Pohutukawa trees which of course flower in June. I planted one in our small garden along with a Punga and and Feijoa
Welcome aboard Peter, we are so glad to have you with us 😊We have never been to Portugal but it sounds divine. I bet those Pohutukawa trees give you a real feel of New Zealand. 😊 Have a wonderful weekend and thank you once again for watching and for taking the time to say hi!
We house sat on the island of Faial for 3 months, part of Portugal, and we’re amazed to see all the pohutakawa’s, cabbage tree, flaxes, tamarillos, because Faial had a port, we were told the whalers from NZ bought them to the area.
Thank you for not only watching but for taking the time to leave such a lovely comment, we work as hard as we can on our videos and we really appreciate your support Taylor! 😘 Thank you again, have a great weekend, Liz and Bri
What what?? Hello lovely you xx Kiwi dip is a tin of condensed cream mixed with Maggi onion soup powder! It sounds a bit yuk but is absolutely divine!!
The Fries with Gravy and cheese is a CANADIAN FOOD! It's called Poutine! I wonder if the chef or owner there is Canadian! SO COOL Have a BEAUTIFUL DAY! ~Jj
We did! That's in one of our earlier travel vlogs Jane incase you haven't seen it here is the link 😁 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-EArMsXXHPeo.html
Love your video's Liz & Brian, we are so glad we found you two! My wife paid you the best compliment while watching your video she said you have really grew on her, you feel like watching family!
Thank you so much for sharing this with us Randy, we really appreciate your kindness. Please give your wife a big hug from us and thank her for sticking around, we are very grateful to you both! 😘 Liz and Brian x
Rest assured we are very clunk, click every trip conscious. We always wear seatbelts Abby (I may have taken it off when we stopped to take photos, but never any other time). Thank you for watching, stay safe and have a lovely week! 😊
Missed out on Fish wife being closed. My god that cod and chips from there is amazing! I only live half an hour down the road so get to enjoy it quite often!
Next time Shane! Even now my mouth is watering thinking of those fish and chips 😂Thank you so much for watching and for taking the time to say hi! Have a lovely weekend 😊
What a lovely vlog! I work on Thursday morning and look forward to getting home at lunch, and sitting down in my sunny kitchen with a cuppa or two, some toast and you two lovelies! That street in Oamaru was really unusual for New Zealand, it actually looks like a lot of the little streets in Malta too! Also those beaches! ... Wow! Gorgeous place! 💕💕💕💕
Thank you so much for this lovely comment, it means such a lot to us to know that we are there with you in your kitchen! How cool is that?! Have a wonderful Christmas my friend and see you next week Ps: I'll have a piece of vogels...put it in the toaster now and it should be done by next Thursday...😉Liz and Bri x
@@ItsaDrama 🤣🤣, my hubby works at waitrose and I told him to buy me a loaf of Vogel coz they sell it there! I'm intrigued since your video about it! Xxx
A fabulous video. I love Dunedin, and looking forward to your next video, The Catlins is probably my most favorite place in NZ - if the weather's good!
Thank you so muchJenny! We really appreciate your kind words. The weather was outstanding when we visited the Catlins so hopefully you will love the next video too! 🥰 Have a lovely weekend and thank you again 😊
Wow what a beautiful Sunset, that was awesome you both made me lol with your walk back, well worth a beersie 🍻 wishing you and Bri a very merry funtastic Christmas 🎄🎁🥂🍾
Crikey Meg...It was only the thought of that beer that was keeping me going ...😂 Have a funtastic Christmas too my friend, lots of love, Liz and Bri 🥰🎄
What a 'gorgeous' episode! :) its good to see you Liz and Brian our exploring and satisfying your curiosities whilst bringing us on your journey...I agree with Hooch Hilly you both have this radiant energy which sets 'yall' apart from the rest!
Thank you so much, that really means a lot to us 😊So glad that you could join us for the ride! Same time next week and we'll go on another adventure 😁Have a lovely week, Liz and Brian 😊
@@ItsaDrama Thanks for caring about my comment lol. you give a fresh take on our beautiful home. a nice cuppa is great to sit and watch you both, appreciate you both. I also loved your reaction to oamaru, England has such beautiful history im sure it did feel like home away from home
Great video Liz. They do a steam punk festival there too with lots of people in steampunk costumes...crazy. oamaru stone was used to build the old parliament buildings i believe. A beautiful colour stone.
We are so glad that you enjoyed it Eileen 😊 Yes, that colour stone is so calming, and pretty, absolutely love it! Have a great weekend my friend and as always thank you for joining us, Liz and Bri 😊x
Another great NZ video Liz & Brian, those whitebait fritters had my mouth watering. One thing I miss about Home. I have been all over NZ except for Dunedin so something to put on my bucket list next time I’m over there. Can’t wait for part 2 enjoy your holiday.
Thank you so much for this lovely comment Brent, it means such a lot to us 😊. And yes...those fritters were every bit as good as they looked! Have a wonderful week and we'll see you in part 2 😁Liz and Bri
I enjoy your videos so much. So beautifully done. And just your lovely, positive personality brings joy watching these videos. I love how real you two are.
Thank you so much for this lovely, kind comment, it means such a lot to us to know that you are here with us. Have a wonderful Christmas and we hope to see you in part 2 (later on today! 😁) Liz and Brian x
Awesome episode 👌, looking forward to part 2. I'm so glad you got to experience a bit of the real Dunedin and Otago lifestyle. I knew you'd love it down here except for the steep bits😂🤣 . Weather's not too bad either aye??
Lucky to live in Dunedin and think it's a great small city - lots of lovely outdoors things to do even if the water is a bit cold. Glad you're having a fab time 😁
You really do live in a gorgeous part of New Zealand Tania! There was nothing we didn't love about it...Thank you for watching and for being with us, have a great weekend! 😊
You came to Oamaru and didn't pop in to say hi, I'm feeling a tad rejected :) I used to work at Harbour St bakery some years back under a different owner.. Those round pastries are called Gevulde Koek and the square biscuits are Speculaas, took me and my kiwi accent a fair old while to get the pronunciation of those right.. Otago is a wonderful slice of paradise, I can't imagine living anywhere else, glad you enjoyed our part of the world..
Next time for sure! 😁Crikey, I'd be the size of a house if I worked in that bakery, such delicious stuff! Thank you so much for watching and for taking the time to say hi Eric, we really appreciate it. Have a lovely weekend 😊
@@ItsaDrama ha ha ha I deliberately said this because ha. I served in Singapore and Malaysia in the 70s and we had a NAFFI in camp, or a cup of char was even better, 😆😆.
Ours too now! The best thing is when you don't know what to expect. They are craft the Dunners lot...keeping that place a secret from us all 🤣Have a great weekend! 😊
Now I'm not sure about this but I (think) that that is what it was called in Dunedin. too. 🤔 Whatever it was called it was lovely! Have a great weekend David and thank you for wacthing 😊
Oooh I loved watching this! I felt the same with Oamaru... how I long to go back! Having grown up just outside of Bath, it was a wonderful discovery - all that gorgeous architecture etc. And I am very interested in the biscuits etc you eat hehe. It all looks delicious!
Thank you so much for this lovely comment Hayley, it means such a lot to us to know that you are here with us (and you grew up just outside Bath! What a coincidence!) Have a wonderful week and we look forward to taking you on our next trip 😁 Liz and Bri x
Great to see my hometown through someone else's eyes. The videography was fantastic. Glad you got some nice weather while hear and got to see a variety of what makes this a special place to live. I agree with you on the Moeraki boulders. There is something special about them, but not quite as amazing as some of the photos would have you believe.Already looking forward to the next episode.
Glad you enjoyed it Craig and thank you for not only watching but for taking the time to leave such a lovely comment, we really appreciate you being here with us. Have a great Weekend! 😊
Have just came across your channel and must say we all love it. Welcome to Dunedin we live about 2 minutes walk from a place called speights ale house its a buitiful place to live and lots and lots to see
Thank you so much for your kind comment, it means a lot to us, thank you. We loved Dunedin, the nature the people (the food!! 😂) It certainly is a lovely place! Thank you again, have a great week and a Happy Christmas 😊
Wow! Now that was a busy day! Something l love about your channel is your honest take on things. You don't make things more glamourous for "like" clicks! So great to see you've come for a look at the Mainland as well and if l had my way, we wouldn't let you go back to the other island.😄. PS: It's v hard to diet in Dunedin!
Thank you so much for your lovely comment, that means such a lot to us 😊I tried to look glamorous with my whitebait fritter but I couldn't stop from ramming it into my mouth 😂Thanks again for being here with us 😘Liz and Bri
Try Bluff oysters, North Otago Jersey Benne new season potatoes, don't try the cheese rolls haha. Do any of the bush walks around Dunedin. Go down the high road of the peninsula - check out Sand Fly Bay & Sandymount Viewpoint on your way to the Royal Albatross Centre. Take a launch trip from Portobello out the heads of the harbour. Scenic helicopter ride from Dunedin is very good as well.
@@ItsaDrama 😊 Have been enjoying and laughing for your experiences - "how do those odd people from over there interpret all things NZ?" Dunedin is my home town. My grandparents house was 100 yards from the Steam Punk thingy, under the bridge (house no longer there). Those buildings, rail yard and harbour were my childhood playground. I have lived in Auckland and Wellington - Melbourne has been home far longer than my life in NZ. I visit often. The big round stones of Moeraki Boulders are substantially better than the onsite lunch rooms - of NZ wonders neither are awe inspiring. 😄 For the suggested peninsula high road journey - first stop at Rotary Park for wonderful views over the city and harbour. If you have time for a day trip - head south for Brighton & Taieri Mouth - beautiful beach there and you can buy fresh fish from the boats.
I loved watching your day in my hometown of Dunedin. I’m embarrassed to say I’ve never been to Tunnel Beach but will check it out on my next visit home. I do recall sliding down the massive sand dunes at Aramoana, and roaming around the Moeraki Boulders. Oamaru will be another ‘must visit’ as it’s changed so much since the days of my childhood. The cheese factory will be first on my list. Hope you get to visit the Farmers Market.
We are so glad that you enjoyed it Sharon and glad that it brought back some happy memories 😊 Otago...wow...what a stunning place, absolutely love it! Have a great Weekend, Liz and Bri 😊
So happy to see you got down to my hometown,I mentioned tunnel beach ages ago,its a place I've always loved going to and I can't really explain why it's just got something about it. When I was a kid we had our summer holidays in Moeraki,I got absolutely fried on the beach there but it holds so many great memories. Did you see the memorial at Aramoana? I remember that day very well,I was at my girlfriends place across the harbour,we could hear the shots,then a line of cop cars going up the road and the police chopper overhead. Of course we didn't know what was happening at the time,but everyone knew someone that lost their life that day. Looking forward to part two,merry Xmas to you both!
Yes!! It WAS you! Thank you so much it was such a wonderful tip (and I'm glad you failed to mention that I'd almost die walking back up, otherwise I might have given it a miss) 😂 Have a lovely week my friend and as always thank you so much for being here with us 😊Liz and Bri x
@@ItsaDrama you don't know how easy you've got it! that track down to the beach was a muddy slippery nightmare back in the 80s,it looks like they've put a proper path in now,but yeah it's steep🥵
Brian mentioned being at Steampunk HQ is like being in Metropolis. Fun fact: I live just 10 minutes south of Metropolis, Illinois. And I can assure you that Steampunk HQ is way cooler. ;) Thank you both for documenting your trip. I don't know what my favorite part was, but between the food, scenery, architecture, and wildlife, New Zealand sure seems like a magical place!
Haha! Well the name Metropolis certainly sounds cool 😂Thank you for watching Warren, we are glad that the beauty of New Zealand wove the magic spell around you! Have a lovely week and we hope to see you in part 2! 😊Liz and Brian
I thought the same about Port Chalmers but I never saw anything come up for sale so forgot about it. There must be one agent in Dunners that covers all of Port Chalmers. You could get a crib and spend a couple months there every year. Love the South Island. You must do a trip to the other side some time. Glenorchy, Franz-Joseph etc. English and Scots settled the South Island thats why bldgs in Oamaru look like that and theyre made from the white stone from that area hence Whitestone Cheese. I can picture the big old sailing ships pulling into Port Chalmers with my great grandparents Farquharson-Jones and McPherson-Proctor to settle Otago. My Dad remembers visiting his grandfather who was sitting in a green tin tub up in Castle Larnach having a bath, thats pretty much all he remembers is the green tin tub
I thought of you Monique as I looked at the port in Port Chalmers...I know that you had mentioned your ancestors. I hope this video brought you some happy memories 🥰 Have a wonderful week my friend, Liz x PS: We went to the castle and there was a big old copper (or something) bath tub there. I wonder if that is the same one? Such a cool memory 😊
@@ItsaDrama that may have been the tub, maybe it was green and just needed polishing lol. Yes awesome video, I may actually attempt to eat whitebait when I get back next year!
Mint sauce on the pattie, is the best way to eat them. We go every year to south Westland an catch our own. We had a great year this year. Hard work though. You two are so positive about our country . I really enjoy watching your videos.keep up the good work
Agreed! That mint sauce was delicious! Thank you so much for watching Hetty and for taking the time to say hi! We really appreciate you being here with us! 😊Have a lovely week!
Hope your trip is going well. You've visited quite a few of the places we recently went on our trip on Labour weekend. Those boulders are quite interesting. Really loved those buildings in Oamaru. I took so many photos to send to my English penpal. We thought the Steam punk museum was also pretty strange but worth a visit. Happy travelling! 🙂
Thank you Susan! We were pretty exhausted after that day I can tell you 😂We loved every single minute of the South Island...how can a place be sooo beautiful?! Have a lovely week my friend! 😁
Probably the greatest far south travel clip ever,it even made me want to go there for the first time and my mum came from there,haha,the feeling will wear off by winter 😉, excellent video indeed 🤙
So cool you enjoyed my home town of Dunners aka Dunedin. Awesome you found out about tunnel beach there are lots of special little hidden away places like this. Aramoana is lovely i spent summer holidays at the crib/ bach when a child.. we call it a crib. when the tide is out you can walk through to rocks to a massive sand dune we would spend ages on that just had to keep track of tides. So wouldn't get stuck. I remember seeing penguins there. It might be penguin nesting area now ?? Did you walk out on the spit at aramoana? penguins /seals commen there. Across the other side of spit is where the albatross coloney is and lanarch castle. Can't wait to see nugget point lighthouse and catlins.
Hi Mel, we did walk out onto the spit and it was just gorgeous. That whole area is simply stunning, it was like being on a film set! ❤️ The only reason we found out about tunnel beach was from someone in this community, so we feel super lucky about that. Enjoy your week in Dunners, you might have us for neighbour's some time soon! 😁
Port Chalmers... I ride out that way regularly as I go for a hoon out to Aramoana (I use to live out there) There is a nice we lookout just above the town and looks out over the harbour... Moeraki boulders. They are interesting and there are few different theories on how they are formed... Moeraki is nice small settlement... stayed at the camp ground a few times... and done a few boat fishing trips from there... Fresh Whitebait isn't bad... But I grew up on it so is ok for a treat... Steampunk... I do a lot of steam punk.... have a full costume and all made my own props etc... (that's all on my other making woodworking channel) Queens birthday weekend they have steampunk parade and steampunk stalls and all etc... I have been it in the parade once or twice in full costume... (My avatar is one of my older costumes) I would show pics... but this is your video ... lol White Stone cheese... yum... that is all I have to say on that, every time we are in the area we stop and get some... lol I haven't been to "Tunnel beach" for a while... but then again I live here, and can go any time... However you fellas must be unfit... LOL (ok yes it is pretty step I will give you that one) Glad you will be going to the Catlins... there is heaps of things to see if you love nature... (and yes I ride that road many many... many many times... because twisties corners... lol) There use to be a Bike Rally Called "The Pissed Penguin" in the Catlins... you would have drove past the spot where it was held going to the Nuggets... them were the days...
Just absolutely loved everything about the place ❤️You are right! you live in a gorgeous part of the country! That Whitestone cheese was delish, Bri didn't get to try too much of it but never mind that now... 😂 I thought Port Chalmers was so beautiful...and the people...the people of Dunedin were very lovely and down to earth. Especially that bloke who rides really fast around the country lanes...hahaha 🤣😉 We hope to catch ya next time we are down in your neck of the woods, have a great weekend (pouring down here in the Naki) Liz and Bri x
That is good to know seeing as you have travelled all over the world Vik! 😁New Zealand seafood is the absolute best, there is no doubt about it. (My second favourite seafood was eaten in Spain....that too was divine 🥰) Hope you are having a great week my friend, stay safe and well, Liz x
Haha you're too kind.Just 43 stamps on my passport though. Travellers click instantly and I guess so we did?The fishing scene in New Zealand is something worth exploring for eons. My mate Craig took me around Stead Street Warf and we saw some fishers harvesting oysters too, turned out one was just a passionate marine biologist who loved being a fisher on weekends. Dying to come back! Leif said Hamilton has some amazing diners in the waikato region. And we love eating around like mice. 😂😉
@@ItsaDrama Spain would top my chart for cocktails! Especially when you put in your 4 years of study into the language, order fluently and a handsome, brunette Spaniard comes serving! Oops that went a bit far😆. Much love ❤
You looked like a proper Kiwi famer with that black singlet, Brian. I've almost gone to Dunedin a couple of times, but it wasn't meant to be. I might change that next time, when I come back
Hahah, Nakiite comes to Dunedin 😂! You didn't see his gum boots did you James?! If you get chance, go and check Dunedin out, it is honestly and truly gorgeous. have a lovely weekend 😊
Grew up in Oamaru currently in Dunedin. Emerson's is pretty good beer. Where you bought thst Whitebait patty from in Hampton I think there's a fish and chip shop over the road. The guy who runs the fishwife in Moeraki used to own it and they're some of the best fish and chips I've found. Oamaru punches above it's weight in bakeries and for it's size restaurants/cafes as well.
I couldn't agree more! We LOVED Oamaru so much (we are intent on returning to the fish wife, we heard great things about it). Thank you so much for watching Rory and for taking the time to say hi! We really appreciate you being here with us. Have a lovely weekend. 😁
We visited the Steampunk museum a few years ago. Loved it, but the flashing room freaked me out, I am scared of heights and it really felt like I has vertigo. Moreraki bolders is a blah
You are making me home sick as a former resident of Dunedin and I have tried twice to come over from Melbourne Australia but alas COVID has stopped that. Thanks for the wonderful videos Merry Xmas to you both
Merry Christmas to you too, Thomas and thank you for watching. Let's hope that you can come back over soon. Sending lots of love over to Australia 🇦🇺❤️
I will tell you a story about my wife, Alison, and Dunedin. We went there on a miserable rainy day and decided to go go to their excellent museum. I have always liked museums although she was not so keen although she was born there. After a while she was missing and I started a search. My suspicions were aroused when I saw a nineteenth century replica of a horse drawn carriage with three well dressed dummies inside which we had seen earlier. I stepped over the do not cross red rope barriers and saw there were four! My wife was in the corner fast asleep. I showed quite a few people who couldn't stop laughing.
I really loved this video! - it was nice to see you out and about. Your positivity and humour is so charismatic 🙂. Its lovely to see NZ through your eyes ...I'm wondering if you've become NZ Citizens?
Thank you so much Lyn, we really appreciate you you being with us and your lovely comment. Yes, we became citizens of New Zealand in 2017 (there's no getting rid of us now... 😂) Have a lovely week! Liz and Bri 😘
Well there you go then! 😂If we'd known about that little secret we might not have been so hasty to give it a bad wrap...😂Thanks for watching, have a lovely weekend 😊
I love Oamaru! The Grainstore Gallery is one of my favourite shops in the country! The first time I ever went in the Vortex at the Steampunk Museum, I was standing in there with my partner, back to the door (as it says on the outside not to open the door while the red light is on), trying to film it and these two old ladies just barged on in, slammed the door into my back and then stood there holding the door open yelling across to another friend of theirs outside. I was sooooo annoyed haha. Went back in and got video of it later, but man talk about frustrating hahaha.
Yes...I imagine that would have been a bit frustrating 😂Oamaru felt so lovely, the people, the coffee, the biscuits (Bri's broken biscuit...😂) all lovely... Have a great weekend Lisa and thank you as always for being here with us 😊Liz and Bri
Oh no...I think it was worth every penny! (My only regret is that i din't get to eat all of Brian's too while he was doing the filming...😉) Sending lots of love up to Auckland, have a great weekend! Liz and Bri 😊
I went to Dunedin in 2019, when my oldest daughter ended up in hospital there, did not really get to look around, but may well go back. We might even get a holiday next year. I would def try those whitebait fritters, they looked amazing. You should def do a trip north at some point. :)
Would love to Anna! And yes, please go and see that lovely man in the caravan, he was by far the nicest whitebait fritter seller in the world 🥰 Hope your week is going well and you are not too busy with work, sending you lotsa x Liz and Bri
Hmm sorry to have to say, that's not how you say Oamaru. It's how most white south islanders say it but the proper Maori pronunciation is a bit different. Still a wonderful video and I'm so glad you had a great time :)
Yes, a friend of ours has since advised us, he said: "Oamaru ...oar-ahh-ma-roo ...don't pronounce the r in boat oar- just run it straight into the ahh- and roll the r in kangaroo if you can- just run it all together" It will take some practice but we will get there! 😁 Thank you for watching and thank you for your kind words (and patience!!) Have a lovely weekend 😊
@@ItsaDrama Glad someone pointed that out. It is great you are making the effort. Keep at it Liz.👍 When you said Moeraki you pronounced 'raki' like 'wracky'. It might be helpful if you treat the A sound like an Ah and not the nasal way it is used in 'wrack', rack,back etc.
great vid once again ,fun/sad fact : on 13 November 1990 Aramoana had a bad day when a lone gunman went on a shooting spree and killed 13 people ,there is a move out about it called out of the blue based on the true event that day ,anyhow another great vid by you guys 👍
Hey Liz and B man, that was really cool, totally enjoyed that leg of your journey, I love Dunners, it's like stepping back in time as far as architecture goes, in most nz cities you see architecture fashions all mixed together as the cities grow, but in dunners it's almost as if they all went up at the same time, maybe they did I don't know. Aramoana is lovely little town but a shameful part of our history, its was our first real massacre, my uncle was a Vietnam vet, he brought back an ak47, but after Aramoana all automatic weapons were banned, so he handed it in to the police, he could have had it changed so he could keep it, but I think time had changed his feelings about the Vietnam War, as boy I tried to get to tell some war stories once- ONCE! ...I asked him what it was like being in a fire fight? ... he looked at me insulted for a moment, I thought he might even slap me, then he just said "I pisd my pants the first time" and looked away, he didn't seem mad, but it was obvious- even to a silly boy, that he didn't want to talk about it. Oamaru ...oar-ahh-ma-roo ...don't pronounce the r in boat oar- just run it straight into the ahh- and roll the r in kangaroo if you can- just run it all together Moeraki ...moy-ra-key moy like toy Hope you guy's are having a great time, safe travels
Hi Sam!, I'm sitting here saying: "oar...no...or..no... ar" 😁 Ok. I've got the Moeraki one down (would never have guessed that Moe is pronounced moy) but I'll have to practice saying the oar without pronouncing the r...thats' the tricky part! Thank you so much for the story and for the lesson in pronunciation, I really appreciate it 😘Stay safe and well Sam, Liz and B Man x
There is no denying that down South is absolutly gorgeous but ey ey...come on now, we've got to love our Ucklanders 🥰After what those guys have been through they deserve a medal. Sending big loves to you Auckland! 😘
Kiaora korua. Tbh, the pronunciation of Oamaru is contentious. The proper Maori way to say it is not as you were told in that deli. Yet, the white people from there insist that their Pakeha way of saying it is proper. Maori disagree. It should be said more like aw-ah-mah-roo.
Thank you for this, we discovered afterwards that we were saying it wrong so will have a good practice for the next time that we visit! Have a great week and thank you for taking the time to help us with our pronunciation! ☺️
