00:00So, I'm headed to New Zealand to go on a seven-week road trip around both the North and South
00:06Islands.
00:07We have been in town for five minutes and went straight to Burr Burger.
00:13When I think of New Zealand, I don't think of landscapes like this.
00:15You could be in Thailand or something.
00:16I knew it was going to be good.
00:17It didn't make me this good.
00:19Now, for the North Island, I'll be travelling with my Kiwi friend, Matt, who will firstly
00:23be taking us off the beaten track to show me how Kiwis enjoy their own country.
00:27Well, I want to show you parts of New Zealand that you wouldn't normally see if you were
00:31a tourist.
00:32Considering later on this whole day I'm going to be going to a place I know and love, it's
00:33nice to kick off with something that's so New Zealand.
00:39One thing that would be good for you to get is actually a sense of the Māori side of
00:43New Zealand.
00:44It's always a good start to the day when you wake up and do something you've never even
00:47done before.
00:48That's how you do crayfish.
00:49That's how you do crayfish?
00:51And then I'll be taking him on the classic backpacking trail, making him a tourist in
00:55his own country.
00:56I feel like I shouldn't be in Auckland, I should be in Europe somewhere.
01:00I shouldn't be in a hostel in my own country.
01:02I've never been here before, I've driven past it hundreds of times, I didn't even know it
01:09was here.
01:10True Zealand!
01:11I loved it.
01:12So we're just straight down under.
01:17Now for the South Island, I'll be driving around by myself, plus meeting up with a couple
01:22of friends along the way.
01:23Look who I've found, Andrea.
01:26What's that on your back there?
01:27Oh, camera experience.
01:28Still representing.
01:29How are you feeling now you're in Queenstown?
01:32Good.
01:33We've just booked the Canyon Swing for Sunday.
01:35You've never done anything like that before, have you?
01:37No, I haven't.
01:38So we're going to do a tandem.
01:39Oh, one of my dads is going to kill me.
01:43Or me.
01:44He's going to kill you.
01:45So I can give you a countdown or are we just going to do it?
01:57I got to go right up to the front of the boat and I was like Titanic-ing it and had the
02:00dolphins swimming underneath me at the back of the boat.
02:03We're just trying to get some supplies for the Tongariro Crossing tomorrow and, as you
02:06know, one does not simply just walk into Mordor.
02:14And you got anything else you want to say before we hop on the plane?
02:18I'll just see you on the other side.
02:43I'll see you on the other side.
