Just let Cody know that tyre is spelt correctly! When he tires, it's time for bed, when he gets a flat, he needs a tyre! hahahaha

But it's well known that the US has totally massacred the original spelling and pronunciation of much too many words. Every time I hear the acclimate and aluminum, I just have to shake my head and that's only two!! 🤔🕊

I was nearly in one of the Lord of the Rings movies. I was sitting on a rock behind my house having a cuppa, watching a helicopter with this massive camera fly above the Waiau River across the road from my place. If only they had turned the camera slightly to the right, the movie scene would have changed from remote wilderness, to a highway and me on a rock. Fame is so intangible and fleeting, it passed me by, literally.
Mount Cook is also called Aoraki. The south island is the most beautiful place I have ever visited
A car full of nerds sounds pretty good to me 😊. An in-law’s brother lost his life to an avalanche on Mt Cook 26 years ago. 23 years later his camera was discovered after snow had melted, and the photos developed. Very emotional for his family.
I did the exact route 4 yrs ago and stayed in the same air bnb in twizel. One of those trips where you think you've seen it all, yet each days scenery just keeps getting better and better .
I was disappointed Cody didn't describe the Fairlie Bakehouse pie as "fairly good".
It’s “Good” to have Cody back! Such a fun group. Glad you’re able to share the experience with each other.
NZ is just gorgeous 😍 Our 'cousins' across the Tasman are very lucky to live there.
New Zealand is awesome. Our family recently did a similar journey from Christchurch to Twizel, Mount Cook, Wanaka, then Queenstown and Glenorchy. The scenery is breathtaking. You think that you have witnessed the best of it, then you come around around corner, and get blown away again.
A quick tip for the future: try to hike the Hooker Valley Trail past 16:30. It is a little bit windy, but it's genuinely so much better without the crowds.
Did you LotR fans hear about the new attraction at Hobbiton? They've now got two fully decorated Hobbit Holes that you can walk through. They look just like in the movies. There's quite a few clips on YT about them.
Thanks for giving me a good laugh when you squealed as the Bumblebee took off! 6:50
I love Cody's comedic timing! (it's all about the pause)

Majestic vistas captured beautifully on a perfect NZ day - 10 out of 10! The mansplaining of Ruby’s weight distribution by Cheveyo, amusing! Tia, ‘yarn’ is just ‘wool’ in NZ and Aus since a yarn to us means ‘a story’, usually a tall one as in ‘to spin a yarn’. Have a ‘good’ happy birthday Cody!
Wow, I was blown away by this video. New Zealand looked so surreal; the scenery was incredible. I love watching your videos. The videography and photography are great - well done, truly exceptional!
Tia needs to see LOTR if only for that scene where they light the first beacon fire atop the mountain, and you see the beacons leap from one mountaintop to the next. It's pretty speccy.
great to see the one pack channel chemistry with the added camera subjects. tv soap.operas constantly introduce new characters to keep their audience interested, but the shows do change over many years. here, we're all.aboard on the one pack vibe. it's just great to see you are able to maintain it.
Happy birthday to Cody, hope he had a "good" day 😊🎉
Cody needs his own food review show! haha.... it'd be good.

Thanks for another great video. We had a similar packing experience on a road trip from Atlanta to Houston, Texas. 5 of us managed to get the boot packed and so I took a photo, te make sure we knew how to unpack and repack during our trip 😀
I think this is the first time in over 1.5 years that I have had more than one episode to watch at a time. Life has been busy and a bit of an emotional ride, but good. It's always nice to see your family and friends. As always, thank you for taking us along for the ride! 💚😃
Great to see the four of you having fun together again! (Loved your Japanese vlogs too.) Watching the scenery reminded me of the trip I took with my family to the South Island about 15 years ago. Literally at every bend in the road was another spectacular vista. Thank you for sharing. Take care and keep safe. x
Wow. This is your best video yet cinematography-wise. They keep getting better.
You guys had the All Day Breakfast which is quite common in NZ eateries
Another excellent video. Cody cracks me up as i like his dry sense of humour. My only complaint is the video isn't long enough as there is so much to take in. Perhaps for this south island trip stretch them out to 30mins as i am sure other viewers would be thinking the same as me. Having been there some 20yrs ago & literally blown away & wishing we could have spent more time down there & slowed the pace down & ventured to more locations (travelled in hired Winnebago). I reckon you should make the pie shop sampling/rating as one of your must do in every vlog
The quality of this edit and the music accompaniment is sensational! Amazing work and progress over the years

I’ve been waiting for you to get to my cook! We did it at the end of September - mind blown! Amazing to see how much it has changed as it was all snow, no grass anywhere. I’m surprised you didn’t stop at the clay cliffs in Omarama they’re also pretty amazing! So much to see in the South Island! Love following your travels through our country!
Happy Birthday Cody what an amazing birthday for you this year wonderful memories … enjoy everyone 🤜🤛
Happy Birthday Cody & that forest 🌳 is gorgeous so mystical & magical 💚
What a beautiful part of the world. Your filming is amazing. ❤
The camera work is getting so polished, really good!
I absolutely love the Hooker Valley Track. I've done it 4 times and it never ceases to amaze me.
Thanks for putting NZ's South Island on our must-do travel list. Looks amazing!
Thanks for the great video! Hope you're going to Doubtful and Milford Sounds! 😊
Mount Cook looks even more impressive from the West Coast side - especially reflected in Lake Moeraki (near Fox Glacier).

10:46 Cody....the correct answer would be "Yup, everyday." *save it for the next time
Enjoy guys, it's a beautiful place.
Your blog is awesome , the scenery is awesome
Funny thing was, after viewing this, I wandered out to my letter box, passing a bunch of lovely scented lupins along my drive. And when I saw two fat bumble bees on the flowers, I thought "hey Tia, two more fluffy friends for you!"
We need a full on video of just “It’s good” compilation. We also need a “Tia for scale” compilation video.
We were at Rakaia Gorge 10 days back and lot of people swimming, was nice sunny day.
Spectacular. scenery. Beautiful filming. 😮
you should come back to the north island with Cody and do the Tongariro crossing to see mount doom
Loving the music 🎶 and scenery ❤
Those little leaves look like the Southern Beech leaves, the remnants of decidious trees of Pangea, the landmass that contains South America, Australia and Antarctica. We in the land across the Ditch have very small pockets of those trees in Victoria and southern parts of NSW. These were nearly destroyed by 2019 Christmas fires. If it happens these trees are replaced by dry country trees ie eucalyptus.
Another great presentation guys! The Fab Four in the BMW for a fortnight! Now this I'm looking forward to..lol Fabulous scenery and thanks for bringing it to us :)
Happy Birthday Cody :)

Milford Track generally you have to book way ahead, but you never know. As long as they make it to Milford Sound and/or Doubtful Sound and take a boat trip. You are right about Lake Marian (on the way to Milford Sound), it is definitely a hidden secret, worth the steep walk for sure, walked up there three times now, love it. It was weird, the last time was just after a major earthquake years back, and the water level had dropped dramatically - always wondered if the rocks had shifted and opened up a plug hole, wonder if Lake Marian is back up to normal levels? I was so hot I took a dip, water was ice cold, I was out in ten seconds!

@@yootoobnz8109 Yeah....am aware of the need to book , so hopefully that was done before their trip. Lake Marian is definitely worth the climb...including a much deserved dip as well....a very special place.

Happy birthday Cody.
Beautiful video guys the weather and scenery is really turning it on for you in the south….shame it didn’t do that in the north but maybe next time.
Just a little bit further up the road from the forest is Paradise - good for a photo by the Paradise road sign.
That was just ..BEAUTIFUL .. and GLORIOUS .. and just WOW 🙏🥰😍😍❤️❤️
Great vlog , great scenery . It's a shame the glazier is no longer around . Looking forward to more great views :-)
Cody is a crackup. You four are obviously great friends. Thanks for sharing some amazing scenery. You are in a fab part of the world. Looking forward to your review of the Arrowtown meat pies once you hit Queenstown.
I would hazard a guess that some of the trees in the Lothlorien forest are beech, native NZ trees
Getting toward 100 k , as the numbers creep up it will start to become easier attracting ppl , just needs that momentum - push push
There's a world class sailplane base in Omarama. Catch a glider ride up and maybe around/near Mt. Cook
Welcome to New Zealand Moki and Cody.....it's good 👌😊
Damn you guys lucked out with the weather! Every time I’ve driven past Mt Cook it’s been covered in clouds.
The state flower of Texas is the Bluebonnet, which is a variety of lupine. Lupine like what you saw grow prolifically in Northern California and throughout the Rockies.
stunning video
Keep an eye out for Bluff oysters in the fish and chip shops as you head south , as Cody would say , they're good !
