They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.

Remember today. Remember your ancestors, loved ones and where you are today. It is because of them.

... we love the whole Coromandel Peninsula, but here's a cool spot - Hot Water Beach 🔥🌊 Either side of low tide you can dig in a specific spot to bring up the natural thermal waters in the sand. Essentially digging your own hot tub in the sand 😎😍

back down in the South Island today, at Moeraki! Check out these boulders at sunrise 😍 Totally worth the 5.30am beach trip!

16/04/2021

...Next spot - Raglan! Surf's up 🤙 West coast of the North Island - and the sand is black 😎

15/04/2021

We're scoping out some of Cam's fav stops...first up - Kaikoura! Located on the East Coast of the South Island this location is well known for it's abundance in wildlife - daily Whale Watch tours run from here and if you want to see seals up close, this is the place to come. Like seafood? You'll LOVE this place!
And it's also just stunning 😍

that time the sun finally caught up with us...Tell me where you want to wander to once the international travel thing becomes a thing again...

11/04/2021

fancy a nice glass of wine? Some of our wines are the best in the world....and we make alot here (and consume a fair bit too 😅). When cruising with us through the Marlborough Region - top of the South Island - you will have seen countless vineyards...What was your fav wine while here? I do love myself a nice glass of sauvignon blanc 🥂

10/04/2021

Hot Chips! Very rarely will we call them or . And we call chips too - so 🔥HOT🔥Chips is what we say so we know what we're off to buy. We've got it sorted. Yup 👌😅

Our country may be beautiful, but like many others, there is a dark side that we’d like to bring out into the light. This is Amanda’s brother Shane. He’s running a 60km (37.2mi) Ultra Marathon in March to help raise awareness and funds for su***de awareness, after tragically experiencing this with a very close friend. If you can give, we appreciate it so much, if not, that’s ok, we just ask that you make sure you check in with your loved ones often and remind them that you are there for them. Always 💖

Shane Holmes' friend joined one of NZ's grimmest lists two years ago. Now he's lacing up to keep others off it.
