I grew up in Sumner then moved to the North Island. I enjoyed your stroll around my old childhood playground very much. I didn’t appreciate what I had. Thanks.
Hi Mado keep calling the sheep , sheeps I love it very unique to you guys. I've got used to it now. Keep up the icream reviews, I can see your pretty keen on it. Someone face lights up .🍦
Great video, as always! However this video doesn't show anything from Godley Head - looks like you went to Taylors Mistake and took a walking track that went towards Godley Head, but you didn't get there. I don't know if you're going to do that in an upcoming video. The road to Godley Head is different to the road to Taylors' Mistake. To get to Godley Head you continue around that big bend in Sumner where you parked your car (just past Hollywood Cinema) and staying on that main road (not turning off to the left as you did to go to Taylors Mistake) you end up climbing up the hill to Summit Road, and take a left turn out to Godley Head where there is a DOC campground and gun emplacements. That is a lot more scenic because it is higher and you can see across Christchurch on one side and into Lyttelton Harbour on the other. Anyway, great video - I live in Chch and always enjoy your NZ videos! :)
You have both become such brilliant "presenters', you have very much evolved in to true professionals but still keep your natural charm. As a kiwi I thank you for portraying our beautiful country so positively.... We need to start a campaign to get you Citizenship... ;)
Christchurch -Sumner girl here. Spent a few nights drunk on the big rock, fell off once lol! And don’t tell anyone but had a little fire up there one night, bit too many beers and left the petrol can a bit too close to the fire!!it blew out, being on top of the cave rock, it was like a sonic boom! lol 3 am ! We woke everyone in sumner up that night, never ran so quick in my life lol
Great video as always! Nice to see the Hollywood cinema, it was where I first saw Star Wars: A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back way back in the early '80s.. My maternal Grandmother served as a height-finder on an Anti Aircraft gun on Godley Head in WWII. Her crew once shot at an Australian plane mistaking it for Japanese. (Fortunately, they missed.) Have a great time!
These vlogs have been very helpful in planning our trip in October. Thank you - the bakeries and ice cream shops are of particular interest. Have you visited Akaroa, Little River, or any of the towns out on the peninsula? Would love to see a video covering those. Keep up the good work.
A week ago today we arrived in Chch on the Tranzalpine and booked the night at Sumner. Drove in the dark, got to Motel and unfortunately a live band playing next door. Too noisy for us so got in car and drove back to Chch city to find another Motel. I didn't see any of Sumner! So gutted now I've seen what we missed! Have you done the Tranzalpine? Aweinspiring ❤
I'm in chch. I metal detect sumner beach all the time. Found a few ring's there. Nice spot. If u guys like your markets, I think it's on every Sunday at the racecorse in town. Worth a wander if your about still. Enjoy your time here 👍
You would have loved the entire walk to Godley Head, it being at the entrance to Lyttelton Harbour and a view of the northern side of Banks Peninsula. Next time :-)
Hi Glenn and Maddo , love watching you on your adventures around my home New Zealand . I was wondering if your families watch all your videos ? They must miss you while you're away.
Maddy your English is very good. English is a pretty challenging language to learn. Yeah sheep is singular & plural like deer. Deer comes from the German 'tier', a beast, & there's no 's' for plural; just like German. 🙏🇩🇪🇳🇿🇮🇪
Love Sumner. I freedom camp there. Visit often when I visit family near Chch. Lovely to walk around the coast line. We used to be able to stay at Godley Heads also, until that got stopped due to certain visitors 😊 not playing to the rules. So sad so many homes were lost there during the earthquake.
Hey .hope you guys are having a blast . New Zealand isn't for me , but I haven't forgotten you .. just waiting for another destination. Keep well, stay safe
I grew up in Sumner then moved to the North Island. I enjoyed your stroll around my old childhood playground very much. I didn’t appreciate what I had. Thanks.
Every post on your trip has been a winner.Thanks so much guy's. 😊

Glad you enjoyed it here. Chch is such a great place to live ❤
Congratulations on your full license 🎉

Hi Glen, I’m Jonathan. We met at Raglan and played cricket. I look forward to seeing your Raglan video.
You have both become such brilliant "presenters', you have very much evolved in to true professionals but still keep your natural charm. As a kiwi I thank you for portraying our beautiful country so positively....
We need to start a campaign to get you Citizenship... ;)

Always great to have visitors… and see different perspectives on what we take as normal!
Enjoy!
Just love to watch your films guys. Brings back good memories. I visited Christchurch in 2019, and had a great time there :)
Sheepy is a cute alternative! In Māori sheep are called hipi (pronounced heepy)
You guys just get better & better. Remember 1 x sheep & 2 x sheepettes, 1 x Duck & 2 x Duckettes Easy Peasy!! hehe

We certainly do have a lot of sheeps in NewZealand 😅😅😅😅. Mado for someone who English is not their first language you speak it very well .👍
Welcome to Christchurch guys

Oh next episode cool: Mado, Glen watch Living Big in a Tiny House when Brice did a episode on it. Very cool.
You could have a look at armageddon if you are in Christchurch still it's on this weekend 13th and 14th
Maddy your English is very good. English is a pretty challenging language to learn. Yeah sheep is singular & plural like deer. Deer comes from the German 'tier', a beast, & there's no 's' for plural; just like German.

Back to Gran Canaria in about 10 days, for another 3 months.
so sounds like christchurch is your favourite place in NZ? As a resident here im a bit bias!
Probably favourite city! Definitely.
That cave was almost as big as big boi head!😂
Its good to take the lid off your coffee before you drink it to avoid microplastics. Also please do not use fly spray in the car that's a carcinogen
Ok karen
To be honest I lived in sumner for years and I’ve never seen it so quiet lol
my neighbours kid owns the Bohemian Bakery.
Hey .hope you guys are having a blast . New Zealand isn't for me , but I haven't forgotten you .. just waiting for another destination. Keep well, stay safe
