- Welcome to Nelson, a beautiful, vibrant town in the centre of New Zealand. We started by hitting the famous Saturday farmers market, then explored the central commercial area, which was absolutely beautiful, and then Queens Park. Then, we finished the day by visiting Tahunanui Beach.

Thanks for visiting our Cafe! Glad you enjoyed it and had a great coffee! ☕️
But guys, dental costs in NZ are expensive and out of reach for many NZers, and studies show there are no adverse problems with fluoride in public water. I know its not for everyone and lots of people don't like it but It's essential for many.
Well said, I totally agree. My ex mother-in-law from CHC always made such a big thing of how bad our water tastes in Dunedin, but I'd rather have the fluoride, thank you. It tastes just fine.
We all need a Glen in our life, just the most endearing personality ❤
Lived in Nelson. for twenty years , the hike up to the geographical centre of New Zealand is worthwhile , the city of Nelson , you need to have a cathedral before you can be classed as a " City " , mostly is associated with Lord Admiral Horatio Nelson , and the battle of Trafalgar , against the Spanish in 1805 or thereabouts , Haulashore Island is part of the Boulder Bank , a cut was made through the bank to give easier access to the Port of Nelson , the island is called Fifeshire Rock , and the locals call Tahunanui Beach , Tahuna , a trip to Takaka over the infamous Takaka Hill is a full days exploring , including Pupu Springs and Collingwood , Harwoods Hole is worth the trek in . The Abel Tasman track is so beautiful , I see from a future vlog that you made it there , Kaiterteri , Kaiteri , and the Split Apple Rock are worth visiting too , enjoy " Top of the South , a very vibrant area filled with wonderful and talented artisans , potters and the like , glad you enjoyed the visit .
Thanks for the free advertising during your visit!
We hope your next adventure is amazing!
You mean Nelson for a whole or an individual place? 😅👀
New Zealand as a whole
The top part of Tahuna beach is where you are supposed to take your dogs, but people break the rules there and take them further down the beach.
my home town...go to Kaiteriteri beach....really really nice
you walked past & missed the german meat caravan ,demerit points for that you could have got some bratwurst to go with the bread ,they also sell them single cooked on the grill in a bun with mustard sauce they are delicious .They are German folk themselves & all their products are from old school German recipes seriously good . Highly recommended .
That cheese sandwich looks good, strawberries for dessert
what an absolute beauty of a sandwich, was lovely!
I love the sound of cicadas. The first cicada of summer always brings a smile to my face. There's a stretch of road on the Kapiti coast that's lined with poplar and willow trees. And every summer those trees become cicada hook-up central. The noise is incredible... they drown out nearly everything else.
Nelson and the Tasman area is lovely. I was surprised you’d jump from the west coast up to the Tasman region so quickly.Did you not make it up the great coastal Road on the coast? It’s amazing. The Pancake Rock, Cape Fowlwind to the seal colonies. The Rain Forest is quite different up there. Lots of Nekau Palms. It more tropical looking. Also a trip up Denniston Hills.The mining history is very interesting and the views are incredible. Back in the eighteen hundreds the miner went up the hill in the coal truck, as the road wasn’t there until the twenties. The woman found the trip so horrific that they stayed up there all their lives only to come down to be laid to rest in the cemetery at the bottom of the hill. Also Karamere is worth a trip.. The start of the Heafy Track starts from there. Maybe at a later date. It’s well worth a trip. If you back around Hokitika, go for a drive around Lake Kaniere. Lots of nice walk around the lake and in the bush. They have an ancient Mattai tree there. It’s around 2000 years old. Drive in to Lake Kaniere and around the back of the lake. The tree is in there somewhere. Then back through Kokatahi lovely area. Think you can freedom camp there. A trip through the Buller George is also lovely.
My favourite TH-camrs Galen and mado keep it up
your very good my friend :)
Nelson: Sure is a nice town. Thank you for sharing and showing us around. Was fantastic. Regards 🇿🇦.
So glad you enjoyed my hometown. I haven't lived there since 1994, but my family is still there and it's always great to go back.
Yes well, when the dentists come out of Otago University; a town that has fluoridated water and little decay, they are shocked and horrified at the dental decay in Christchurch, where there is not fluoridated drinking water.
True, the fluoride is good. But when the dentists come out of Otago and find other parts of NZ not so hopelessly woke and constrained by their indoctrination do they likewise roll their eyes? I hope they do. Perhaps they don't.
@@rosselliot8971 👈has to be at least one.
They call these conspiracy theorists though Glen.
Mass medaction sucks fluoride is toxic stays in your bones for ever.
Only idiots think fluoride is a negative in the drinking water.
@@lesleyhughes3174 Can I ask you to define a conspiracy theorist. Do you believe that conspiracies exist? or that people can conspire? You can be charged with conspiracy so the legal system recognises it. So why is it bad to have a theory about certain conspiracies? why are you saying "has to be at least one" to the other person, what were you implying precisely? You have been told by the TV that "conspiracy theory" equates to "nutta". Maybe you need to expand your consciousness, what if all the things you believe to be true were actually false, you might want to meditate on that very idea.
Glen & Mado, another brilliant presentation this time in Nelson "WOW" thank you so much for you enjoyable walk about totally uplifting & informative, looking forward to part 2/ loving it...
Tahunanui beach is the best. I used to live in Nelson and it is my favorite place to go. Different vide is right :)
Awesome! Thank you!💫💫🙋♀️
Cicadas is what they are..... Sick -a -das ... I love their input to the evening environment- the background choir of nature.... they calm me.. its my childhood summers......
thats the one hahah!
Starts with "s". 😅😅😅
I spent 25 years growing up in Nelson before moving back down south. Its a stunning region and extremely beautiful although its very expensive now and the traffic around Richmond is nuts. I suggest checking out Wakefield bakery, sublime coffee and of your into the suter art gallery, red art gallery and cafe, the the isle park night market which is in stoke at isle park on a Thursday night during the summer months. Normally from labour weekend until the end of summer and yes the region can get very hot and dry over the summer months.
Beautiful scenery and you seem to like visiting countries with beautiful
mountains .
Mado would have definitely felt at home in Nelson. Some of the first German settlers settled in Nelson. I'm a descendant of one. He was called Fedor Kelling. There's a Wikipedia page that will tell you about him.
🇩🇪 ⛵️ 🇳🇿
Hi Glen and Mado thanks for coming to Nelson you Too are Awesome Cheers!
Thanks James for your special words! It was a lot of fun! We loved it 😄
Just love your enthusiasm - it so infectious hehe
haha love you buddy ❤️
Hi guys and loved your Nelson presentation. Have lived here all my life. So much have enjoyed your You Tube channel. Just come back from Cromwell and looked up Sanga Pies that you visited. The Holy Smoke was awesome and thanks for the recommendation. Safe travels.
I met you in Palmerston north new Zealand at the Esplanade
Awh was such a pleasure!
Looks like one of the best markets in nz
Would love to live in Nelson
I have been following you since you arived in NZ, As we have been busy with immigration. We finally landed 21 March and live close to Nelson, will be visiting Nelson tomorrow(Sunday)
Hey guy's still enjoying your amazing videos. You both look great, I suppose you picked up a few mementoes of NZ.....👍we watched your video from Nelson, one of our top 10 places in NZ! If we were back there, you both be surely welcomed in our home, keep having fun, keep recording those amazing videos they will always be memories of a lifetime 😊Love the vibe ❤️
Great place that I lived in for eleven years from 1979 when I was working from there as a pilot, although it has changed quite a bit since then, however the climate is still the same and the best in New Zealand. I used to live at Tahunanui and it is a big summer holiday area and Nelson is an area that is a good place for boating and yachting.
its honestly a great place to go! hope you had some fantastic memories back then :)
Well done guys, I'm planning a big trip to NZ at the end of the year (just six weeks not 10 months!) and ive been watching your videos and im totally addicted. After each video I'm deciding whether i should add it to my list of places to visit. I know youre trip isn't finished yet but id love to see a "best way to spend 4/6 weeks" video! Thanks guys! Youre alot of fun to watch
Awesome! I’m a South Island kiwi, I hope your trip is incredible! Six weeks will go quick, there is just so much to see here. If I can give you some advice, South Island is more spectacular than the north, people are more friendly too lol. Plan more time for the South Island than the north. It is expensive, but you will never see anything like this place anywhere else in the world, it’s incredibly unique and the scenery changes every corner you turn. Roads are pretty full on and it takes longer than you think to get from one place to the next. Plus you want to stop all the time and just soak in the scenery. A lot of people miss the really good parts, as they go to the “touristy spots” go off the beaten track as much as possible. Weather can be changeable here, so bring a warm jacket even if you are coming in the summer. If I can recommend one place you have to see, please visit Able Tasman National Park - it’s not too far from Nelson. You can take a boat and get dropped off on some of the beaches, then you can walk part of the walk. It’s incredibly beautiful. ❤ hope you have a blast!
Get yourself to Kaiteriteri and Mapua! ❤
Finally made it to my home town.make sure u visit golden bay
your a lucky person!
@@GlenAndMado but i been living in perth western Australia. Coming back soon
German bread is the BEST!
Don't forget the center of nz walk

A great cave in takaka
You just walked past gear shop where my son works

Nope will be soon in another episode 🙂
Lovely place; have you been to Napier though?
We have check out our Napier video 🙂
Tou you could had walked through the shop's to get too the other side too the market s
Cicadas (sick- kay- duhs)
Cicadas
Fun fact: Nelson gets the most sun of any NZ city or town.
And thats why its so expensive to live there plus the wages are crap aswell because of this.
@@steventhomas9461 True bro, thats why I moved to Aus
cicadas
thanks Marias!
Farside joke I wish thoughs cicadas would shut up.
I went to nelson markets in primary school . Dad owned a civil construction company so was working 80 hrs a week so only mum could sell fruit ! Apples " gratefruit oranges & peaches we grew . We had a 5 acre farm in the 90s in redwood valley .You would have driven passed it when you drove to able tasman
Paella is Spanish.
i told him😅
Nice videos guys. Glen you drive well but move your car seat back a few clicks. I feel cramped just watching you. 😉
"They live on bread in Germany" - Glen
"Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God." - Matthew 4:4
Amen
true fact only bread in the morning! haha
😅😅😅😅😅
They are not crickets they are cicadas
What happened to your Toyota Wish?
we got it, just on this trip for 2 weeks we had a rental
I m from INDIA
okay? nobody asked
We do want flouride in the water
Speak for yourself. I don't want it which is why I also don't drink tap water anymore. If you want to take fluoride then the government can give out free fluoride tablets, but mass medication of the drinking supply is a breach of the bill of rights, but I suspect you care little for the rights of others. Let me ask you a hypothetical question, "how would you feel if you didn't eat breakfast"?
What you don't seem aware of is that Europe is ahead of sleepy old NZ when it comes to the harm caused by various chemicals and minerals. Europe knows Fluoride added to drinking water lowers the IQ of children by up 20 IQ points, along with a host of other negatives. Having you dentist apply it directly to the teeth is one thing, drinking it is another thing.
@@elfodd35No it doesn't.
Glen, probably not African community. Likely from the islands, Figi, Vanuatu etc. They come for the grape harvest.
@elfodd35 The Dunedin study showed thar fluoride had NO effect on IQ! I tend to believe that.
😅 next video title. We found New Zealands best beach!
kaiteriteri !
Guys where is your friend?
she went for a hike as she wanted some time to her self
not hipster vibe more hippy and also richn white ppl lol but they are hippies and love organic etc too
We like fluoride in the water...it's saving children's teeth from rotting away. A vast proportion of the population can't afford to go to the dentist, it's a national disgrace. Anyway thanks to your video Nelson is now on our list of places to visit next time we head down south...thanks.
The people who want fluoride can buy it themselves.
It should be personal choice like the covid jab
@@Kiwiboy1929 100%
thanks for chees
Not much dress sense in Nelson it would seem - good grief, they dress like Americans! LOL😁
🙄
About the same everywhere lol. I've seen people show up to job interviews in their PJs lol
@@thekiwinomad usually only a certain persuasion who would even try. They watch too many Walmart videos from the US and copy!
OMG haha 😆
Wasn’t paying attention but I see shorts t shirts etc , was that triggering
who tf goes to a foreign market to buy strawberry's and cheese...i mean come on at least buy something different
calm down big man
No such thing as free speach
Nelson has one of the best peanut butter producers in the world ..the macs factory in stoke
Not African but Pacific Islanders my guess ni van
I was thinking Vanuatu, too (love that place, especially Espirito Santo and their water dancing is beautiful ❤)
Thanks for the video. Always well filmed! Absolutely agree regarding fluoride. I am not keen on fluoride and I avoid it as much as possible!!! 🙌😊
you sound like a dangerous conspiracy theorist. And why wouldn't you want your IQ lowered from brain damage caused fluoride.?
