You are bloody legends, all 3 of you! None of you should feel bad for helping each other. Don't be afraid to reach out if you get stuck, kiwis are always keen to help people in need. Glen and Mado, you've got a captive audience here in NZ. Us kiwis have a fascination with knowing what people think of us. I think it's because we are such a small remote country we get excited when we hear our country mentioned overseas, especially in the media or movies etc. 😂

[@donaldduck2139]

good on you Flynn

[@Andy_M986]

Onya Flynn,legend mate.

[@carolinethompson6592]

You are well received because you both are so nice. I'm so proud and grateful for the people that have helped yous on your exploration of this country. It's not just beautiful because of the scenery here. Maori have a phrase "he tangta, he tangata, he tangata", It is the people, it is the people, it is the people ❤

[@GlenAndMado]

Thanks for your nice words, means a lot🥰

[@trohlfs01]

I am absolutely loving your video's. Flynn is such a good Kiwi bloke.

[@jaredford8440]

Nice work Flynn 👍👍 🇳🇿

[@Dave_Kennett]

Big ups to Flynn. 👌What a nice guy! Have been following you two since day 1 in NZ and am really enjoying your travels thru' the country. You really are experiencing all of the country and will be adopted Kiwi's soon enough. Looking forward to your South Island travels and if you're ever back in Tauranga and in need of any help, let me know. All the best guys

[@GlenAndMado]

Thanks so much for watching and following our journey! Means a lot🤗

[@richardcaldwell9160]

Nice one Flynn. Hope all goes well in the Sth Island. Like Coronation Street you are addictive viewing !!

[@GlenAndMado]

true legend he is! Thank you, South Island has been great so far!

[@CapitalVideo]

Linden is a nice suburb that I spent the first 10 years of my life at until we spited up to the Kapiti Coast, although the place has changed a lot in the past 60 years since I lived there in the 1950's.

[@tristanuaceithearnaigh7660]

Flynn is a cool guy. A real Kiwi bloke.

[@Shibby3k]

I'm happy you got to see Titahi Bay. It was the best beach when growing up in Porirua. It would be full of cars and people in the summer. Looks a bit more stony since I was last there, I wonder if the sand is slowly being removed by the waves or if the tide was just in. Still a beautiful spot, and there are other cool little beaches around the coast you can walk to if you're feeling adventurous.

[@02petal]

Such a lovely vlog. Made me get teary eyed xx. Love you guys. Best videos out there. Thanks for showing me my country. ❤

[@ChristoKiwi]

You guys literally came to my township! Tawa/Linden is my home. Wish I had run into you two!

[@mikem922]

You guys really have learned with travel you just have to go with the flow and sometimes seamless and sometimes disruption and delays. Such a wonderful random act of kindness and glad this got you both another adventure in Tawa. Glen I have to compliment you on the drone footage such as Castlepoint and Castle Rock and here above Tawa and Titahi Bay beach. This really adds another perspective to have an aerial view!

[@GlenAndMado]

That's very true, unexpected things happen all the time when you're travelling😀Thank you, really appreciate it, we put a lot of effort in our videos🤗

[@maltnz]

16:52 That would be Mana Island (pronounced MarNar).

[@tiarakahui8166]

Have you guys been to Palmerston North? If not you should do a video on It 😊

[@GlenAndMado]

We actually went and stayed there 2 nights but we never made a video as I was very sick that time and the weather wasn't great😕

[@mattieclan8957]

When you are in Christchurch go to the Eco shop in Blenheim Road. You might be able to find your picnic table there.

[@GlenAndMado]

Thanks for the recommendation! We might check it out🙂

[@mazza-2023]

You well always cherish those memories. It is those days that count. Enjoy your time to the fullest.

[@GlenAndMado]

really makes you appreciate all these special moments :)

[@johanmeischke9189]

Yeah it's partly geography. NZ is a bloody long way from anywhere so in many respects we have to rely on each other. So when someone is in trouble our prepogrammed societal mores kick in. Also we are a nation of immigrants and world travellers. The kiwi diaspora is huge. Many nzers are familiar with the challenges of exploring other countries

[@GlenAndMado]

yeah, such an interesting fact which makes sense! NZ is very community oriented which is so nice helping each outer out!

[@margandjimdietrich9598]

So glad you came to the beach at Tītahi Bay, my home town, best beach in Wellington.enjoy the south, I am sure you will love it

[@GlenAndMado]

It was indeed a beautiful beach!😀

[@MO.143]

Great to watch ur videos guys🎉 example for good relationship 🤵👰

[@florence2720]

We both know that it's not fashionable to love me But you don't go 'cause truly there's nobody for you but me We could cruise to the blues Wilshire Boulevard if we choose Or whatever you want to do We make the rules Our honeymoon Our honeymoon Our honeymoon Say you want me too Say you want me too Dark blue Dark blue We both know the history of violence that surrounds you But I'm not scared, there's nothing to lose now that I've found you And we could cruise to the news Pico Boulevard in your used Little bullet car if we choose Mr. born to lose Our honeymoon Our honeymoon Our honeymoon Say you want me too Say you want me too Dark blue Dark blue There are violets in your eyes There are guns that blaze around you There are roses in between my thighs And a fire that surrounds you It's no wonder every man in town Had neither fought nor found you Everything you do is elusive To even your honey dew Our honeymoon Our honeymoon Our honeymoon Dreaming away your life Dreaming away your life Dreaming away your life Dreaming away your life Dreaming away your life Dreaming away your life

[@GlenAndMado]

Thanks so much for watching🤗

[@gregorylongmuir4036]

Make shore when you get to the south island you go have a look at Whites bay it's amazing you will love it and camping is cheap so spend a night and explore and take in the amazing sunset

[@GlenAndMado]

oh wow, the Whites Bay looks amazing on the pictures! We actually went straight to Blenheim and never went there. We need to make sure to put it on the to do list on our way back! Thanks for the recommendation🤗

[@gregorylongmuir4036]

@GlenAndMado it's only a 25min drive from there as that's where I went every morning to get a coffee when I stayed at Whites bay for a week haha 😄

[@02petal]

And the wee walk to the glow worms. It's back towards the entrance. Or ask. I've stayed there a couple of times.

[@user-jz6nn6hl3u]

those ferries are a disaster bro been trouble for years one lost its propeller at sea one engine broke down started racing to shore had to drop anchor to stop it built in spain called el lemons the saying goes

[@GlenAndMado]

oh wow🙈 I mean the sea is quite rough at this point, so probably not an easy one to cross

[@tracyhutchison2160]

Hey guys. So glad you are enjoying yourselves in New Zealand. We would love you to stay with us if are going through Hamilton anytime. We are right on the river and plenty of room. X😊😊

[@cookeingwithme]

I use to live in wellington for years now I'm in Melbourne It is real fool seen your videos When you comming to melbourne australia I think you like it here

[@Cruzader80]

How long are you planning on staying in the top of the south island? Nelson is my home town and of course my favourite place in NZ. Looking forward to getting back there over the Xmas holidays. Let me know if you need some ideas. Woukd be happy to show you around if you are still there!

[@GlenAndMado]

We actually haven't been to Nelson yet! We will travel down the East coast and back on the West, so we will visit Nelson in March😀

[@tapin36]

Shout to you Flynn ❤

[@Antony-qq1ob3bz3g]

Top man Flinn, good people are Glen and Mado...south island....

[@RM-ti8nf]

Nice one Flynn

[@angelinaandzue1068]

Churr tu much flynn

[@KeetahHudson]

Tawa is a suburb of Wellington

[@SohailKhan-uh7od]

Nice

[@footballfraud23]

if only i'd found you erlier i live in tawa

[@GlenAndMado]

Oh no we missed out, we love catching up with the locals it’s alof of fun and keeps our journey interesting! We’re currently down in omaru at the moment on the South Island

[@kimkyle6921]

Mountains have white stuff on top.

[@GlenAndMado]

very true 😂

[@greggiles7309]

Our New Govt doesnt want to Fund the Ferries, i have regrets voting for Jacinda, Gold panning video next,

[@joedehoe]

Don't come to the South Island if you are not planning to spend money, and are abusing your tourist visa's for cash in hand work. I hope the toyota wish that you have been freedom camping in at least has self contained waste-toilet facilities.

[@jackl4739]

this rich couple spending lots money on travelling , eating ……

[@GlenAndMado]

Wouldn’t say rich we had to a lot of labour work on the side, we spend very little actually 😂 we live in the car most of the time. We’re living the bare minimum haha

[@shelleynightingale9409]

Really sad to see this unkind comment based on assumptions you created in your mind. I'm sure they put a lot of blood sweat and tears to not only bring others joy through their content but also to be in a position to enjoy our beautiful country. Please be kind, they didn't deserve your ill informed rude comment. I hope you can find some love within yourself ❤️

[@johnallsopp6324]

Not nice at all and a completely uncalled for comment. It must be so sad to be so suspicious and negative. You know nothing of their backgrounds. I travelled extensively for years when much younger, working hard in different places to afford the next step of the journey and was never rich (still not) but the places I went to and the people I met enriched my life.

[@joedehoe]

Which Visa are they on, is it acceptable to be accepting cash in hand for work on a tourist Visa, and freedom camping on top of it all. @@johnallsopp6324

[@lockedloaded1669]

Hi guys!!! Did you find time to check out Naenae?? Its a great centre place and Naenae hasnt been documented before, so thought it might be a great chance to cruise by. Safe travels. Cheers

[@GlenAndMado]

I think we drove through Naenae but never made a video in this area😀
