I said it was a bit of a trek to the top didn't I lol, good job you are fairly fit. We cheated and got taken most of the way up on the back of a tractor-trailer. the warden said his boots only lasted a few weeks because of the sharp volcanic rocks. Apparently, they spent years eradicating all the possums and rats from the island to protect the native species. We were told they intended over the years to remove all the baches as well. Thanks for taking me around the island it's been too long since I was back in Auckland but I get to see a lot of it again thanks to you.
@pillred5974 lol.....I wasn't that lucky to be taken by a tractor. I had to use my feet.....lol. Was a tough one, but awesome 👌. I enjoyed and loved every bit of it. Thanks for stopping by
@@davethedutchmansabventures Yes, I do. I used to come over to NZ on holiday in the 1990s and 2000s, as I had lived in Milford and Takapuna as a child in the 1960s and 1970s. I have not been back since 2006 for various reasons, so it's nice to watch your videos. Fingers crossed, if all goes well, I will be back in the not-too-distant future.
