This is the Big Finale of my Ultimate New Zealand Road trip
In this vlog Ill be starting my day in Rotorua
first up is the Zorb, I love the Zorb, Ive seen it hundreds of times and never been, so this was my first go, and Im fairly sure ill HAVE to go back again.
the team at Zorb Rotorua were all super friendly and this was one of the only locations in all of New Zealand that I was actually allowed to Fly my Drone!

I definatley recommend adding this to your next trip!
next up is the Skyline Luge and Zipline, now this one was incredible, though the Matariki long weekend made it super busy, It is a lot more fun when you go with friends to race against

I never get bored of the Luge!
although after the Bungy, the Ziplines just feel a little too tame to me
after that I go to the Kuirau Park and Mud pools, this one was pretty lucky that I put in free option since in this episode I am surely in danger of Blowing my budget

After that I travel to a farm Just outside Matamata and only 3 minutes away from Hobbiton.

This was an awesome little affordable campsite that made getting to Hobbiton for the earlier tours (the quieter tours) a lot easier.
and the OFC I went to Hobbiton. I cant tell you how much Ive always wanted to got to Hobbiton, and While I was there I was an irritating NERD! the poor tour guide could barely ask a question without me giving an over elaborate answer! still I was in Hobbiton Living the DREAM!
I didn't want to leave from here, I could have happily lived in a hobbit hole and spent my days going on adventures and chilling at the green dragon!
even if youre not a fan of lord of the rings and hobbit movies, this is an awesome tour
the level of detail and dedication that went into every little set and ornament was so impressive (I bet they get stuff nicked all the time!)

then finally I made my way to Auckland and the end of the line, after visiting the always impressive Skytower

I had to get the van ready for return
now this was a bit tricky since I had to Get the van washed, refill the LPG, empty the grey water and fill the clean water at a Dump station. and clean and tidy the van ready to have it returned
if you have any questions about all that stuff drop a comment and ill respond with more detail. or ill try and make a video on vanlife at some point.
This Journey has been very dear to me, ive spent more time planning, filming and editing this trip more than any other project to date, and the fact that its be INCREDIBLY unpopular has been hard for me to bear, but ive put in all my dedication and effort to make sure that it still went off with the highest level of skill and effort I can so that even if its not appreciated. hopefully for the few of you who do watch these vlogs. that youll enjoy them to the max!
