Love how visitors call them mountains. To Kiwis they are hills. 🙂

[@Devilofdoom]

Huh? That is the Tararua range. They're definitely mountains.

[@modfus]

These are the ordinary Kiwi places (small towns) that most tourists never really see. They're not glamorous but it's fun to watch you exploring them.

[@GlenAndMado]

There cool little towns though, has a nice vibe to them! :)

[@alexandersunter4899]

Enjoying your trip here comes Wellington.

[@GlenAndMado]

Thanks Alex! Loving it here so far its a really nice place :)

[@jackyhudson7009]

You really should have turned off the highwsy into whanganui! So much history, and the most beautiful place. Voted best nz city 2 yrs in a row.

[@mrpachino6014]

I LOVE your videos guys. Lots of good content to watch and a real adventure. Keep up the good work.

[@PaulG.x]

Well, England has a town called Cowes

[@GlenAndMado]

Blo-carts started up in Tauranga I think. They are everywhere now.

[@lesleyhughes3174]

Gull is cheaper in the North Island normally. Mckeown and Gull in Sth Island

[@Andy_M986]

Those little land yachts are called Blow karts,Kiwi invention,they go quite fast.

[@GlenAndMado]

We discover new things everyday here in New Zealand its great haha :) Maybe we could get a go sometime if we come across them again

Thank you! Cheers!

[@DandyLion2024]

Eltham is pronounced Al-tham. Glad you enjoyed Taranaki. The next place you stopped at is called Hawera. Pronounced Har- where-ra (roll the R). Now you know you can also get milk from Bulls. That plane area is called Ohakia (pronounced O-Har-Key-Ah) which was a military air base but is now for commercial flights

[@cjiwo]

We also have a Windsurfing park in Christchurch

[@scottlewisparsons9551]

Thank you for another great video. From Sydney Australia 🇦🇺

[@GlenAndMado]

Thank you my good friend 🙂

[@chrishirini5414]

Yeah you should do a couple days here in Wanganui it’s a great little town

[@kwerk2011]

Haha, the "stunt planes" are the Royal New Zealand Air Force! You were right next to our largest airbase.

[@johnpaki1534]

Kia ora guys, definitely love your version of travelling aotearoa (nz) above all others, it surely must come with its up and downs but hey live it and own it i say, as for infrastructure, theres nothing worst than travelling a country with pot holes everywhere...hehe! Take care mado and glen and enjoy wellywood❤ PS, the labour are definitely not celebrating now they lost and the Nats are in...god save nz...lol

[@GlenAndMado]

Damn Aotearoa is beautiful! loving the layout, the coast and the houses along the mountain. To be honest this has been the handiest gig so far while travelling as were just looking after animals and at the moment asking around the area for little jobs here and there to pay for food and fuel. don't get me started with the potholes they seem to be everywhere 😭 the car feels like a rollercoaster sometimes 😂🙈 haven't been following the politics. and its the first we heard of it!

[@richardcaldwell9160]

Hey M & G, your banter is so infectious . keep up the good work - I am still catching up. Rich

[@christafaithb]

It’s so fun watching you guys explore all these small towns around where I live 😂 Waireka honey is so good, if you go there in the middle of the day it actually gets so busy with everyone getting their honey ice cream fix. Next time you’re going through bulls you’ll have to spot all the ridiculous bull related signs they have up around the town

[@GlenAndMado]

we totally wished we seen more the famous bull town 😂 found it quite entertaining haha. By the way the honey ice cream was delicious! Hope your enjoying our journey! The support means alot to us 🙂 hope your having a great day Christa!

[@shanedigby]

Welly rocks!

[@GlenAndMado]

It really does! what a place :)

[@MAte925]

I remember wellington had a lot of nice colonial buildings!

[@Tamaragreenway]

When everything is shut threw a small town we just go a gas station or McDonald’s to get hot drink

[@jonathanjohannis6035]

LOVE you guys. subd

[@meezemusic]

Omg you're so close to my hometown! Whanganui (Waitotara)

[@GlenAndMado]

Damn that's a shame we really want to meet some people as we get lonely sometimes haha

[@Andy_M986]

Did you dip your tasting spoon into another jar after using it in the other jar?.

[@GlenAndMado]

Oh no of course not that would ruin it haha, used a new one everytime don't worry 😉

[@Andy_M986]

[@lesleyhughes3174]

Too many heavy trucks and trailers and bad repairs. Mix has changed I'm sure. Downers watering it down ?

[@michaelyoung323]

Are you guys traveling to the South Island?

[@GlenAndMado]

Yup! This week 😎☺️

[@plasticscouser3791]

Probably the fuel prices are lower is ur close to the refinery . How come u seem 2 b driving the back roads rather than the motorway ? Christy 🇮🇪/🇵🇹 👍

[@johnpaki1534]

Kia ora christy, I think I heard glen say never trust your GPS in others words took them the long way...lol.

[@cnm757]

Motorways are only near the major cities. Bulls, for instance, is on the main road, State Highway 1.

[@GlenAndMado]

Thats the cheapest I've seen around that time of travelling but I've found some around the same price just outside wellington now actually! We took the main roads, basically following Google maps, @cnm757 exactly what you mentioned theres only motorways near the big cities 😂 In fairness I prefer it this way as I like driving through little towns on our travels, I feel that it creates a more authentic experience :)

[@PaulG.x]

No refinery in NZ - we had one but it closed because it was not economic to upgrade it. There is a related reason for the fuel to be lower the closer you are to a port that has fuel storage facilities. In this case Wellington and possibly Wanganui

[@mattieclan8957]

Get on the internet about NZ's manuka honey health benefits

[@GlenAndMado]

We’re all over it now! Got many people telling us all about them! Insane benefits 🔥

[@ontheroad_again]

Learn the CAA 101 Drone laws guys because it's treated extremely seriously in NZ with Police attending if someone calls them. Also the CAA do troll youtube looking for offenders. Take care 👍🤙
