VAN LIFE ROAD TRIP! // Northland, NZ

Hello everyone! Right now I'm in Auckland. I'm with Nick, and we just got something really exciting. Yeah. Yeah, it's a camper van. We just picked it up, and now we're gonna go on a little road trip. Look at the inside! That's supposed to go into a full bed, so hoping that works. But otherwise, I've never been, I've never stayed in a van like this before, so I'm super excited. Okay, I think we're gonna go get some dinner, and then we're gonna head up. Oh, it's an automatic. Yeah, it is, baby. Oh, it's an automatic. Someone's gonna be driving a van. Yeah, I'm gonna drive a van. Buckle up. Safety first. Good morning from the van! Last night we picked up the van kind of late, and then we went to dinner, and then it was dark, and we were tired, and then we just kind of stopped somewhere and slept. But I don't even really know where we were, um, and it really, we were just too tired to film anything, but there's the van, the girls, and then we'll see. So many adventures ahead. So exciting, but I really enjoyed it. Kind of just, like, want to make it our new home. How do you think? Yep, it'll be good. Sharing's a bit of an issue. Yeah, the only thing... We're at the Fungari Heads. Just stopped off for breakfast, and this view is just so good. Look. These mountains and stuff remind me kind of of, like, Thailand or something. It feels so tropical over here. It's really warm. Oh, happy days, happy days. January 3rd. Woohoo! 2007, off to a good start. We're gonna eat some brekkie. Time travelers. Magical band that time travels us back to 2007, like good old days. We time traveled. Got some muesli and some apples. Now we're just going for a walk to such a cool mountain. Should be good. It's a hot day. It says two to three hours return. Save the koi forest by cleaning your shoes. Whoa guys, the views are getting killer. What? Look at this. Hold on, hold on. This is such a cool walk. So happy. Hello. The views up here. So good. That's where we had breakfast. This was part of a volcano before, and the top actually used to be twice as high as it is today. Pretty cool. That was such a good walk. Highly recommend if you're in the area. Do it. Super sweaty. Now the air feels so good. We wanted to stop off at a cool place for lunch. And I just looked on the map and found this beach and we came here and it's super random. It's like everyone just drives up on it and then there's like quad bikes and stuff. I don't know. But oh well. Good good. Yummy. We're moving. Let's go. So how many times have you been in a van, Mary? A couple times. Only when I've been moving. Nice. Maybe trucks. Do you drive on all the way from California to New York? Oh no. And I take a rental car. Oh, nice. That's whack. Oh man. We stopped off at this overlook, but you can't even go outside. It doesn't smell very good. And it was kind of far out of the way. Oh, it's windy out there. We just stopped at Tane Mahuta. It's known as the god of the forest. It's the largest living kauri tree. 51.5 meters tall. 13.8 meters in trunk girth. It's known to be about 2,000 years old. I want to hug it. Hello everyone. Okay, so it's night time. As you might be able to tell, we got to the holiday park we're staying at tonight. It's like this huge place and it's like a lot of RVs, but also people camp and it's huge and there's kids running around everywhere. It's pretty cool. But I'll show you that tomorrow and we're in the van right now because there's a lot of mosquitoes outside, but we just took showers and we're doing laundry and now we're gonna eat some food. Oh, mosquito. Got him. Nick's gonna chef it up. Chefing it up. Oh, yeah. What are we having for dinner, mate? Uh, I don't know. Maybe something like wraps or something. Wraps? No way. We'd never have wraps. I know. It's so weird, huh? It's crazy. Yeah, we're out of control. Good morning from the van. So now it's daytime and I thought I could show you around this park. This is our spot. Clothes. We're going to the toilet to brush our teeth. And we're off. We are going to 90 Mile Beach. It's a very quick road trip we're doing so we have to make everything quick. We don't have time for hanging around. Uh, but... Stay tuned for next time where we actually drive on the beach, go to the most northern point of New Zealand, check out some really awesome sand dunes, and take a nice stroll on the beach.
