    Tia's joy at the big things and Cheveyo's obvious disdain for them are both hilarious 😂

    My, how far (most literally) the two former baristas have come... how wonderful their travels have been, and so beautifully documented for us to witness!

    Maybe Tia should start a Big Things postcard series! She gets so tickled, which makes me laugh. (But I love the nature ones - gorgeous.)

    Hobbiton is the first time Tia was larger than the "Tia for Scale" object! Lol. Such a fun tour! Love the Japan postcard also! ❤

    Love that you stopped at the ‘big’ sheepdog & ram in Tirau… there’s heaps more to find as you travel around - the carrot, the gumboot, the L&P bottle, the crayfish, the salmon… the ‘Simpson’s’ donut (Springfield) to name a few 😅

    Its 3.28am here in Far Nth NSW. You 2 getting up at "midnight" to go to a beach with hot springs. 👏👏ALL your Vids are uplifting and positive. 💯💕💕 Very much look fwd to seeing you two next Sunday. Safe travels Tia and Cheveyo. ps As an Aussie, I "hate" Vegemite but LOVE Promite.😊

    As usual great video. Another thing with Vegemite, is Vegemite and tomato slices. Have fun guys.

  • @joshhayes2169
    @joshhayes2169 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    There's a fairly subtle difference between Marmite and Vegemite. My preference is Vegemite. Several years ago there was an earthquake that damaged the manufacturing plant that made Marmite, resulting in a shortage of Marmite known as Marmageddon. I just watched Josh and Lisa's vid on NZ, and finally learned the origin story of the car plant!

    • @CheekyKoala

    I went to Lord of the Rings sites at Arrowtown (ford of Bruinen) where Arwon says " if you want him, come and claim him." and Glenorchy ( the scene where Gandalf rides to Isengard) near Queenstown on the South Island.

    I'm so thrilled to have you here in New Zealand. I wish I could make the weather improve, we have had what feels like a year of rain and it still hasn't let up... Every time Tia showcases another fabulous postcard I always feel I really really would like this one - what amazing talent. I really really hope the computer random thingy pulls out my name!

    Another wonderfully beautiful and funny vlog. Am so enjoying watching you both travel the world - it brings back many memories of when our kids were young and we travelled also. The memories will be priceless for you as well, I’m sure! Looking forward to next Saturday night and your next vlog! Take care and stay safe.

  • @iannicholls2790
    @iannicholls2790 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

    My guess is the town you're in that smells of eggs, is one or near one of the volcanic townships (e.g. Rotarura). Their power stations use the heat of the earth to make sustainable electricity!
    Loving the series.

    "smells like eggs" thats the high sulphur content in the atmosphere. Many natural volcanic geothermal springs in the area that you may discover...

  • @gregrtodd
    @gregrtodd 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

    For Vegemite you have to have HOT buttered toast -with the butter actually melted through. Then the thinest smear of vegemite -never thick like peanut butter. Cover the toast, but only a few molecules thick. Best late night snack in the world! Love that you visited the dog and sheep at Tirau. Tia for scale!

    We spent 3 weeks in NZ in May of this year and has the most amazing holiday ever. If you think the north island is beautiful, the south is somehow even better! Also jealous you were at Hobbiton, I’m a massive Tolkien fan and that place was like Disneyland for me. Keep up the great videos :)

  • @jurrassitol15
    @jurrassitol15 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Way back in the early 2000s when i went to NZ and wanted to go to Matamata to visit the hobbiton set, the original set was basically only holes…the farm owner didnt want the film set keep and wanted to have the farm returned to its original state. Obviously realised a film set attraction is a better investment 😂 but very impressed with the attention to detail…also agree with the person that mentioned the Vegemite to butter ratio…if you’ve never had Vegemite before, you need more butter than vegemite. Also i find that marmite is a lot more “runnier” than vegemite…and vegemite is superior 😊

  • @linhofmann4913
    @linhofmann4913 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Melted cheese on your toast with a thin layer of Vegemite is the bomb!

  • @barbjim01
    @barbjim01 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I love the quirky roadside attractions that Tia finds! I seek that kind of things out too. A more recent one was an old Shell gas station that is shaped like an actual shell and painted bright yellow. It's in Winston-Salem, NC.

  • @daveamies5031
    @daveamies5031 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I knew Tia was in for trouble when she said the Vegemite looked like Nuttella, Vegemite is a salty umami flavour. if that's what your expecting when you first try it you'll enjoy it more.

  • @pinkskyfinch
    @pinkskyfinch 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    @missyleaf9778 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Marmite is New Zealand made and our only home made yeast spread .. There's very few cupboards/pantries in nz that doesn't have a jar or two of Marmite..
    Marmite has barley, oat and rye whereas Vegimite has wheat and barley.
    Hence that bite you taste only in Marmite. There's so many uses besides just on toast\bread\butter.

    If you smear peanut butter over the light smear of vegemite, it might be more palatable to you. My sister just introduced me to that concoction and it was quite nice :)

    Good on you for at least trying Vegemite in New Zealand 😂
    As others have said start with a thin spread, only experienced Vegemite eaters slap it on. I’ve worked up to be one of those. Love it with avocado or cheese or all 3 🥰
    Tracking you on your tour of NZ as it’s on our trip list after maybe a month or so touring Tassie.
    Safe travels. 😊

    • @jamesrobinson4429
      @jamesrobinson4429 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Unfortunately that's what Americans do when trying Vegemite for the first time thinking more is better but when they get it right they quite like it

    • @gingerdrake9158
      @gingerdrake9158 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

      For a first timer it really does have to be the skimpiest amount possible with lots of butter 95% butter with 5% vegemite. It really would taste horrible when your brain is thinking it's going to be sweet.

  • @Andy_M986
    @Andy_M986 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    You need a better butter to Marmite ratio, smother the toast with Butter,so it softens,and then spread a bit of Marmite over it, so much better.

    I know someone is going to be disappointed by Vegemite/ Marmite when they start by thinking it's like Nutella.
    It would be like saying "This reminds me of a Marshmallow" and then popping an oyster in your mouth.

    Love you visiting the BIG THINGS just as you did in Australia 🎉 also the Vegemite! Toast the bread spread butter and small amount of Vegemite delicious. You can also add cheese or avocado also delicious. I’m an Aussie and been eating it’s since a baby. You are both wonderful. 🥰🇦🇺

  • @stevemurrell6167
    @stevemurrell6167 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

    It has to be said, you spread your Vegemite too thick. On toast, you need lots of butter with a very thin spread of Vegemite. Yum!
    It also has to be said, The Hobbiton tour was beyond expensive! Much cheaper just watching the movies.
    Nearly wet myself when I heard Cheveyo's reaction when he saw the big dog.....'oh, this is happening again!'.🤣

  • @carolcarol3938
