THEY TOLD US TO COME HERE! Bay of Island - From Paihia To Kerikeri And Kawakawa | New Zealand 🇳🇿

We continue to explore the northern point of New Zealand, giving our first impression of Kerikeri and Kawakawa and fully absorbing as much of the area has to offer. We are here to enjoy the local and authentic lifestyles and always give you our honest thoughts on areas we explore.
We also tried fried Oysters for the first time!

I love Mado attitude she doesn’t hold back on her emotions she’s a force of nature and her distain for certain things makes her more adorable the two of them have a very refreshing personalities and vibrant energy of remarkable optimism and enthusiasm for life of a visiting tourist

[@charged2times542]

Never make Mado MAD! aye glenn haha

[@charged2times542]

I laughed to myself about this when i first started watching them! When Glenn used to keep cutting Mado off mid conversation to get that "cam time" haha both characters. 100% genuine people.

[@modfus]

I think she's terrific. She keeps Glen under control😆😉

[@user-ik5dd6eq4k]

I'm so sad your nz adventure is nearly at an end have loved every km and do hope you can come back can't wait to see were your new adventures take you.

[@modfus]

🤣😂Glen and the seaweed. You know how to tease Mado Glen😉

[@KarloHiriwa-oz9id]

Kia Ora for your positive wairua .. you make also make me more appreciative

[@TomJonesisback]

Bay of islands beautiful even in winter ❤

[@user-fg9fe2by4j]

The kawakawa with more wholes is more therapeutically potent because as caterpillars eat the plant it releases chemicals to repel them, its those chemicals you want :)

[@andrewnimarota753]

You guys are fantastic, my wife and I watch all the time ,

[@gissyb1]

Hunderwasser lived in Kawakawa.. the toilets were his original work. Theyre amazing. the others are replicas.

[@helenlizzystewart4908]

You guys rock

[@yvonnerahui8729]

So enjoyed seeing this video of places so familiar to me & show cased so well by you both. I love butchers like you do..nice clean fresh good meat! Loved the way Glen called on Jesus when he tripped at big rock in Kerikeri near the Park. Remember that name Glen! Hope someone has told you about the toilets at Kawakawa..how Whangarei turned down the offer from the man himself in 1993 so he went to Kawakawa where the people embraced him & accepted gladly the toilets-the locals helped him with the build. Plus he ended up living in the area & where he was welcomed so warmly. Years later after he had passed, Whangarei decided they wanted one of his buildings after all.& the story began. Probably because of the limelight Kawakawa was getting & they wanted it too..but not a true Hundertwasser to me without his actual input..but no one will know so that's just my personal gripe. Alot of Whangarei was against having the build go ahead..'let Kawakawa have their fame' alot said..but also the financial burden many could see that was to come at the rate payers cost..and just not everyone loved the idea of this structure. Ps-you could have gone up to the Cafe free of charge..I saw that video too. Hundertwassers home there in the north is to be soon opened to the public. That will be good for the area..& the newish Hundertwasser Memorial building & park (behind the toilests) is a credit to the councel there. Hehe..saw my cousin walking by (in Kawak) at 29 mins)😊

[@typeOhh]

11:45 Had me in stitches laughing 😂

[@marias8007]

Spot on Mado, koha is donation or gift

[@joethistlethwaite3130]

I made it to the video!! Great to meet you guys!

[@jaredford8440]

Mado flirting with those pastries 😂 Adorable 👌so glad you made it a proper butchers shop💯

[@karinkereama]

I love it when you both bring out your research and compare research. Whaea Mado chose a good cafe in Keri Keri. $22 seems expensive for that Kai. Awww so sad you’ll be leaving Aotearoa NZ but it’s been rad!

[@richardcaldwell9160]

Hey G & M, I do salute you, because after 10 months of travelling & climbing mountains, all I would want to do is put my feet up & watch a bit of tele & eat unhealthy food for a change. So congrats xx

[@braxtonmathews6434]

Fun fact... Kawakawa is the only place in the country where a train goes in the middle of a state highway

[@anneleahy9010]

Hundervassser lived in Kawakawa, he offered plans to Whangarei Council unnthe 1980s, the council said no thanks so her built the toilets in Kawakawa, then years later Whangarei council decoded to build the one we have now, hoping loads of tourists will come, cost us ratepayers quite a bit, then COVID came, then the cyclones and the Brynderwyns closing, yay not, Te Tai Tokerau cut off from the rest of the country Northland Te Tai Tokerau, is split into, Northland, Mid North, and the Far North.

[@johnmcnulty1129]

☀️ 🌴 🦖 🦕 🌴 Awesome "Tropical" vlog guys Love the market stall vibe around 🇳🇿 ❤ These big conglomerate "Shopping Malls", personally ? Give them a wide berth 🦅

[@jasonballard5115]

great video enjoy new Zealand

[@leeseet2336]

It's confirmed u 2 have been to more of NZ than kiwis themselves

[@anneleahy9010]

I have so much to say...

[@jaxonbingley]

You should come to friendly feliding

[@MothershipVideos]

They couldn't have been Bluff Oysters, because they are absolutely gorgeous. Well that's from memory...no one can afford them now.😥

[@amerkiwi]

Oh I missed this one, did you go to Russell

[@GlenAndMado]

We got to the boat place but never bothered in the end as we got very tired haha.

[@user-gslt]

amazing place, I love it

[@libbysevicke-jones3160]

The fruit and vege guy you filmed is the best. The produce is always so fresh. He did a special order for us one day. The bakery there is not very good, the few times l have stopped in there, their food is always over cooked and the coffee yuck. The cars are an embarasment. We have a neighbour who has a collection of old cars. When he gets stoned he races them around the roads in the middle of the night. So dangerous. Hunderwasster lived just out of Kawakawa. His earth house is now open for tours. Everyone gets smashed car windows, its more to do with our gravel roads, not crime. Crime is everywhere, so it’s very judgemental to look at the cars and make assumptions.

[@allentewhare1102]

Oysters are an acquired taste Mado, to be honest I hate seafood... at least you tried it.

[@maganalia]

You guys should do a Worlds best public toilet tour. I'd watch that.

[@wimokaharawira8443]

Don't listen to them, don't come it's bad 🤫😉

[@exutiku]

Ya don't cook oysters guys, ya eat em raw, no salt, no pepper, just oyster, followed by the juice in the shell .... yummmmm

[@charlotterobinson1302]

We are silently STARVING.

[@jackl4739]

You are pretty poor

[@occiputslave2145]

Eat the oysters raw. Cooked ones not so good. Love your stories

[@AilsaPehi]

$22 for 6 oysters and chips? Oh naaaah. I'm in Auckland and pay that for a punnet.

[@jackl4739]

pretty fuckin expensive

[@darrenwareing5715]

Bro, kawakawa isn’t just a town to pass through. It’s where half the whanu in northland come from. I don’t think You understood the ground you were walking on. Go to waitangi treaty grounds. Po Marie.

[@incamoran9532]

So Glen gets a recommendation for coffee from a couple they've already met but, no, he has to walk to the shop Mado found because Mado found it. She doesn't want anything but if Glen's going to get coffee he's going to get it there because.... Mado. Thankfully he's a happy go lucky Irishman. The more I see, the more I like Glen. I'd have kicked her to the curb long ago. I hope they edited out the part where they warned possible users that they were coming into public toilets with a camera running :(

[@foxriverez7824]

Aww thats a bit harsh..love Mado shes awesome they make a great couple.❤

[@maganalia]

What do Kiwi's look like?

[@ianwilkinson3425]

We look like humans , just watch the video. 😂

[@kimkyle6921]

Did you know that NZ is the youngest country in the world 😮.

[@donaldduck2139]

Maori eat seaweed as well...can boil it with meat

[@Luke-pb9oz]

Never heard of maoris eating seaweed

[@ianwilkinson3425]

​@Luke-pb9oz there's no s in Maori. Karengo is a seaweed you'll find eaten at almost every marae in NZ when they have a hakare.

[@Luke-pb9oz]

@@ianwilkinson3425 maybe there is no is in maori language I am using English language ya mong, still don't believe maoris eat seaweed though.

[@ianwilkinson3425]

@Luke-pb9oz 😆 it's like saying sheep's, bro. You don't need the s. But you do, you buddy. My marae is Ngai te rangi. We eat it. Now you can say you know Maori that eat seaweed 🤝🏼🤜🏽🤛🏻

[@yvonnerahui8729]

Ive never known it in my 68 years..and my Nana came from Wainui/Matauri Bay, I lived in Te Kao in my high school years..never heard of or saw anyone cook it..spent much time at marae. Experienced 'rotten corn' which was quite a delicacy when I was young..not for me but the adults more & some young whe grew up on it. Also went to Poutu area in Dargaville, Northland-still didn't hear of.

[@charlotterobinson1302]

We have no food. We cant afford it after our house is paid for.

[@lesleyhughes3174]

That's called living beyond your means, right?

[@jackl4739]

You are very poor
