      😂 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 😂

      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.

    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.

      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 😜.
