Definitely need to let Mado win once Glen, just to keep the tranquility !
I'm waiting new zealand visa. as soon as possible I'll be in new zealand 🇳🇿
Thank you for all these videos, I am moving to NZ in July on the new 3 year visa for brits and basically winging it. Nice to see what I am getting myself into!
an early welcome to you .. Nau Mai..... keep in mind July is Mid winter ...... i hope its a positive 3 years for you here..
You both kiwis now that's why you feel so great going around showing off our beautiful country
The Red Barn was the Glenorchy railway station. The line ran from it to the end of the wharf. We tramped (hiked/walked) the Rees Dart track Easter 1968. There was nothing at Glenorchy. The road from Glenorchy up the east side of the Dart River crossed a stream called the Jordan River and ended at a place called Paradise.
Paradise was originally called Paradise Duck Flat. The Duke of York (later George VI of England) stayed at an old mansion nearby called Arcadia and said - this is Paradise - and the name stuck.
Hi, I did the Rees Dart in the 70s and there was practically nothing at Glenorchy then either. A pub, a school and a few houses from memory.
We were there in December time. Road trips crossover and around the South Island.
Sure, it looks like paradise.
We only had 10 days to view as much as we could.
Thanks for sharing and remembering the places.
Regards South Africa 🇿🇦.
Mado and an ice cream store is like a magnet and a jar of nuts and bolts! Enjoy it while you can!! 🍦
Such beauty, you had a perfect day for filming, loving your videos, your joy at the beauty of it all makes me feel happy
Ah Mado and her ice cream :) Hope you have a good time
You Guys just get better and better. Nice town & glad you found your razor Glen !
2.20 in we usually charge for the clouds to look xtra cute, free to you. just kidding, enjoy the beauty.😄
The possible reason the water is a little cloady at the top of the lake is because the water coming into the lake is snow melt .
your trip in New zealand looks great ...love every video u and mado posting enjoy..
its even better in winter/spring when mountains have lots of snow on it
Wow first to comment!! Isn't that area just amazing? I'm really enjoying your videos :)
My son was a hiking guide on the Routeburn Track before Covid
Looks like you didn't quite get to Paradise, but you got close! Paradise is an actual place just over the other side of Mt Arthur near Diamond Lake. It was where some of the Lothlórien scenes were filmed for Lord of the Rings. It's only about 6 km north east of where you camped by the bridge.
Your'e videos are great, you show so much of every place you visit., we love you guys, so natural and funny. Enjoy the rest of your time in New Zealand.
Deb and Wal from a little town called Eketahuna in the Lower North Island.
Seen a number of your videos and food plays a major role (pies, ice cream, bagels etc 😊) Have you tried Whittaker's chocolate yet? My wife loved it when we visited NZ and is gutted we can't get it in the UK.
Haha I eat it everyday actually! Basically we eat the 95% cocoa one. On special occasions we would have some of the dairy milk one too. I mean it’s just like the dairy milk in the uk but dairy milk is horrible in Nz 😂
Wow! Great vlog! Such a peaceful place!
Wow, how beautiful is aotearoa nz
Great mountain views
Outstanding Glenn & mado
Always enjoy yr content
We're in NZ from December to January. It's a very nice country. We love it.
Another place we're going to visit now...thanks.
My husband and l are planning a south island trip .
Were from Christchurch and freedom camping.
You ve both given us great ideas of where to go
Thank you
Looking forward to your next hike video, esp if its like your last 😅
But please be careful, mado nearly slipping over the side of that hill 😰
We were there a week ago, although sunny it was really windy. You should have gone for a walk to the lagoon, it’s beautiful and such an easy walk
sssoooooooo many videos
Can I ask where the SC site was by the river bed near Glenorchy? Fantastic video of our gorgeous country. Thank you. Lord of the Rings was filmed in many places throughout the country, as were many other movies. The Last Samurai amongst them with Tom Cruise. Xena Warrior Princess also. Scenes for Avatar. So many.
Aotearoa New Zealand has the happiest cows, their milk makes the best ice cream and cheese. The only thing that beats NZ scenery is all people who appreciate being here. That includes you two, keep having a great time.
Its NEW ZEALAND! NOT aeoteroa!!!
@@Samantha-xr4mx It is Aotearoa and was 500 years before some Dutch tosser named it after part of Holland.
@@parkiwi4787 Ummm hate to burst your bubble,, the name Aotearoa is relatively new in Te Reo... it is most definitely not 900 years old.... Te Reo as they say is an organic living language and has and is being added to every year..
@@vsksf It's believed Kupe named Aotearoa after his canoe. No written language simply known by.
@@parkiwi4787 “it’s believed” is a rather casual endorsement and from what I have read and studied has little ( if no) substance
This place in incredible :)
Lol mado whining while playing connect 4 ... you two never fall to entertain me
Your German girlfriend is quite correct Glen , the river can come up quite quickly . 😊😊
Yeah I’m with you Mado, I’d enjoy this sort of place more than Queenstown 👌 Queenstown is good in short doses 🙂 Looking forward to the next hiking video!
love you guys
Mado, connect 4 is both offence and defence at the same time.. hehe! and sometimes it depends on who starts first.
Hope you found the place called Paradise in the Glenorchy area
Are u going to Central.otago? Cromwell Clyde
Alexandra great spot esp Clyde
not sure about riverbed danger but walking on wet rocks can be - recently slipped and put my hand out to break the fall - broken wrist, aah! Was told afterwards to not put hand out but to break a fall with the arm fleshy part = wish I had known b4.
You missed the Glenorchy lagoons which are even more beautiful
Those mountains just don't look real. They are such a stunning backdrop, over the aquamarine water.
Hope the weather has remained fine and not too much rain around the place.
Is the South Islands' weather similar to Germany and Ireland in their summer?
South Island av temp would be around 22-23 degrees. This year however there has been dozens of days above 30 degrees and with a very thin ozone layer above you get fried very quick😂
Glen ' did you try out your gold panning while in that area ? apparently the Dart river has gold
One more OMG down 100 to go
Yes Mado you are right, it might be sunny where
You are but raining 50 miles away at the head if the river.
Glen would save you ,so not to worry 😂
We say kilometres not miles
for some reason the connect 4 just makes more sense to the male brain haha
the best wine region. Kawarau is around there somewhere you can visit the AJ Hackett original bungee jump Yes invented by a kiwi
Notice how European New Zealand sounds? And we live along way from Europe 😅
New Zealand got it's name from Able Tasman from the Netherlands and as you may have noticed it even looks a lot like Europe I mean a lot of the trees are of European origin good examples can be found in our city parks where you'll find the majority of trees are oak trees sad to say any local trees were ripped out completely. However just recently the original flora and fauna is finally being reintroduced.
Sad that thousands of NZrs are financially unable to see their own country.
Pfft! Name for us the country where every citizen has the financial means to travel about their own country? Monaco, perhaps??
Help me medam please 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
