Gorgeous views! I felt those same good vibes when I visited San Francisco for the first time last year. If you don't get sea sick often, working on a boat would be a blast I'm assuming, from my experiences taking a number of cruises and speaking with the workers on them 😊
You're lucky you're not at Taupo at the moment, Mari, as it's in the middle of winter and there is a rather chilly cold-snap hovering over the North Island (It currently has a low of -1 degrees celsius and a high of 8 degrees celsius) at the moment.
Omg you're here for a year? Or around abouts omg enjoy your time here!!! Skiing would be fun on Mt Ruapehu and the hike will be fun!! I'm from NZ and it would be awesome to meet you!
We drive 90 minutes to go to Taupo. Summer is good but really there's nothing there. Only KFC, Burger King and fast food outlets lol. My family have lived on this lake for centuries.
Hey Mari, found your channel relatively recently and I'm really enjoying your vlogs. The views from the boat ride look amazing and $40 is a steal. Do you know what company it was with? I'm planning a trip and will be in New Zealand around New Year so Taupo is definitely a place I want to check out. Happy travels, Emma xx
+Diane in CA good investigating work! Yeah I originally wanted to go on a sailboat but I just hopped on the last boat of the day, and it turned out great!

+Selena Thinking Out Loud haha yeah it would be bad if I got sea sick! And glad you liked SF! Though of course I'm biased. ;)
Great sunset. Glad you were able to get back on a boat, Captain Mari. :) And those carvings at 0:37 were incredible! So cool.
such a beautiful place , the rupeatres scriptures are incredible
love your vlogs!
+Luisa May thanks Luisa!
I hope the winter clothes weren't too expensive 😕
+The NYC Couple luckily there were a lot of sales!
I am shocked the Captain is considering working on a boat ! I figured that or a librarian. Looking forward to more NZ videos !
+K Mac haha so many career options to choose from!

+Legacy Smith I'm actually leaving for winter, but I might be back in spring!
You should definitely buy a boat someday :) and a library. Maybe you can create a library on a boat and travel the world!
+Rafal Glaz whoa!! Mind blown. Now you're talking!!!
+Mari Johnson Hahaha :) glad you like it. Keep on smiling and being silly! :-)

+The City Scrounger hey Emma! The company was called Ernest Kemp I believe. Definitely check it out!
Prices will probably go up @ New years (summer).
What kind of camera do you use for you regular videos. Meaning non GoPro😅
Also which backpack is your bigger one, and small enough for carry on?
Wait...you didn't drop the Captain title no? Peaceful place.
Cool! What was the corporations name you went with on the boat?
Why don't you mention the boat you were on? Seems like $40NZD is a fantastic deal with free beer/wine/pizza!
+Diane in CA I think it was Ernest something?? I forget!
Found it - it's Ernest Kemp Steamboat - thanks! The sailboats are sexier, but for the same price wine and pizza sounds great. The sailboats are BYO.
