Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Coast Breakfast Bonus Podcast with Tony Jason.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
Sam, Hi, thanks for listening to our Breakfast Bonus podcast.
Today we're talking about summer, but not just any summer,
the perfect summer. What does that plan look like to you?

Speaker 3 (00:12):
Yeah, we need to talk about what you do with
your precious leave and how you break it up and
whether it involves the beach, does it involve going back
to perhaps where you grew up or in some cases
people go overseas And Sam, you did this And I
don't understand personally, because I feel like New Zealand is
at its best between sort of December too, probably March,

(00:34):
and I just wouldn't go away in that time.

Speaker 4 (00:36):
I don't know what was your thinking.

Speaker 5 (00:38):
Then let me explain. We went to Fiji because we
got free accommodation.

Speaker 4 (00:43):
Well, well that explains it. That's a good reason.

Speaker 6 (00:49):
But no, I do agree though, this is New Zealand
at its best. And I wow people who decide to
go for a white Christmas. I know it's beautiful, but
you know you're stuck inside. Get to go outside and
make a snow man. That's about it. The rest of
the time time you're in cold weather summer in New
Zealand is an absolute gift.

Speaker 4 (01:07):
May want to try a white Christmas, though, wouldn't you.

Speaker 2 (01:10):
If you want to try it? If you want to
try it one time? But I'm one of those kids
who I kind of grew up being around the beach
in the US. I'd rather feel the feeling of sand
between my toes than the snow.

Speaker 5 (01:19):
Do you know what I mean?

Speaker 3 (01:21):
If we went to a white risis, we'd been putting
our beer feet on snow through.

Speaker 6 (01:26):
Your gloves and I don't know the way you said
to know, like you made it sound like a dirty
words snow look.

Speaker 2 (01:36):
But no, no, I don't want to hang out on it.
I think the perfect summer though you mentioned a couple
of things there before Tony getting back to your hometown.
I always try and do that at least once or
twice a summer. But the beach for me, my sister
does it really well.

Speaker 3 (01:47):
Though.

Speaker 2 (01:47):
What she does is she'll work across the feest of
season because everyone else is away, easy to get car parks,
no one's in the office, who's car on? Do your thing?

Speaker 5 (01:54):
Knock off early, but.

Speaker 4 (01:56):
Then she's basically not working. No one is really Then.

Speaker 2 (02:00):
Then you take your leave kind of like late January
when everyone else is back to work and now you're
on holiday and there's.

Speaker 3 (02:04):
Nowhere around, but having no one around, I reckon, that sucks,
Like don't you want people around to give you that
feast of vibe? I like a summer on my own
sounds present.

Speaker 2 (02:14):
She goes with her family and stuff. Obviously everything then,
like everyone else's back works, So the beaches aren't. The
holiday hotspots an't as busy anymore.

Speaker 6 (02:21):
I get the things take the holiday hot spots a
little bit later than you know, having to pay ten
thousand dollars for a batch.

Speaker 2 (02:27):
That's exactly what even some camping grounds is, know, you guys.

Speaker 5 (02:31):
You can't even get into a camping ground.

Speaker 2 (02:32):
That's right. But later in January there they start free
up a little bit and there's lest people around there.

Speaker 5 (02:36):
Man, if you notice camping grounds, they've changed.

Speaker 6 (02:38):
I mean, there's some wonderful examples, but they have become
a lucrative business.

Speaker 5 (02:44):
The infrastructure and the existing campgrounds are unbelievable.

Speaker 6 (02:47):
Now there's pools and there's jumping castles, and there's hydrous
slide in his And that is because they are such
a limited thing. Now they've all but the real estate
on a lot of the campgrounds are sold, so the
ones that have survived are lucra and they're pouring resource
into it. But what that means they're expensive and they're
impossible to get into.

Speaker 2 (03:05):
You're so right.

Speaker 3 (03:06):
I love how you talked about hotspots and avoiding, you know,
peak times. I feel like I'm ramming myself into possibly
the peakest of all. I'm going to Fungminda on New
Year's this year.

Speaker 4 (03:17):
Oh what am I doing?

Speaker 5 (03:20):
Voka Cruises?

Speaker 3 (03:21):
Yeah, but do you know what? So we're going after Christmas, right,
a couple of days after.

Speaker 4 (03:26):
Every year I.

Speaker 3 (03:26):
Consider this and then I never do it, but I
consider is it like, would you have Christmas away from
your house and go and you know, rent to Airbnb
or a batch somewhere where you actually took Christmas on
the road or is that just a logistical name?

Speaker 2 (03:40):
I made him way did this last year. So him
and his wife and their kids went to Kinlock, just
out of Topol. And so they were there and his
sister and their kids were there, and his wife's family
were there as well, and they all got this big
place in Kinlock and they had Christmas there. Everyone just
brought the presents that if the tree they didn't put
a tree up as such.

Speaker 3 (03:56):
Oh see sounds good, but no logistical And I feel
like that would all on the person that buys the presence,
and you've got to wrap them way ahead of time.
There's no mad wrapping on Christmas Eve for that family
in the car.

Speaker 6 (04:08):
You're missing the obvious advantage of this location. Christmas means
you can avoid the relatives that you don't want to
see at Christmas time.

Speaker 2 (04:16):
No one's dropping in.

Speaker 4 (04:17):
Yeah you know what I mean, that's coming with you, Sam,
and you make it it.

Speaker 5 (04:22):
You just make it too hard for them. This year
we're doing it in Nepal.

Speaker 4 (04:27):
You know, won't last for that.

Speaker 2 (04:31):
One's got a combination of things, a lot of gathering.
For me, I'm quite social that a few gatherings, a
lot of barbecue. Most most meals on the barbecue, and
hopefully some warm, fine weather with no wind. A couple
of years ago, in a beautiful fine summer, but it
was windy and even at the beach, all the seam
was blowing around. It was annoying.

Speaker 6 (04:49):
Yeah, well that is let's talk about weather, because let
me explain exactly.

Speaker 5 (04:54):
What happens when we get centralized high pressure, which is
exactly what we want.

Speaker 6 (04:57):
Think of a wheel place direct New Zealand worth the
center point, the hub being Wellington.

Speaker 5 (05:04):
So the center of the high pressure is going to
get the stillest weather. And you know we can't say
that about Wellington a lot. But what that means is
the rotation of.

Speaker 6 (05:12):
The system is going to be because it's a high
pressure anti cyclonic, so it's going to be anti clockwise,
which means over the top of the country and the bottots,
the top of the country is going to get the
northeast and the bottom of the country is going to
get a.

Speaker 5 (05:23):
Swing south west or westerly.

Speaker 6 (05:25):
And you know that is the implications of a perfectly
placed high pressure.

Speaker 5 (05:29):
So the vast majority.

Speaker 6 (05:30):
Of us will have beautiful weather, but you do have
that rotation around the outside of the system which is
very nigly for those particular places.

Speaker 5 (05:38):
Was that interesting?

Speaker 4 (05:39):
I hate rotations in my summer.

Speaker 6 (05:42):
Well, well, then you have to selfishly ask for this
of the high pressure to be more placed higher over
the country.

Speaker 5 (05:48):
So if the center of the high pressure is.

Speaker 6 (05:50):
More kind of through the Waikatu or Auckland, then yes,
we will be fantastic, But then it will mean the
South Island is getting all the debrisms are kind of
pushing over the world in the South.

Speaker 4 (06:02):
But whoever's been nicest stand to will deliver forward and we.

Speaker 5 (06:05):
Get a bigger wheel.

Speaker 2 (06:06):
Can we get a biger wheel to rotate?

Speaker 5 (06:07):
And that happens? Okay, it happens.

Speaker 6 (06:08):
The biggest of the high pressures, you know those because
we were Jim Hockey always told me that a big
summer high pressure and remember summer high pressures read lower
sits around ten twenty five, one twenty five Hector pascals,
some of the biggest systems we've ever had up around
ten thirty five will cover the entire country.

Speaker 5 (06:25):
And we're all, we're all, we're all gravy.

Speaker 4 (06:29):
Yeah, bring us, bring us the wheel, Bring us the wheel.
