We are moving from South-Africa to NZ in Jan (South Island - Blenheim) I have been following you since you landed in NZ Love your channel!!!, Cant wait for you to go to the South Island! So happy that you healed from that nasty Virus Mado😷
Hey hope your having a lovely day! you'll love it here! we actually madre a video in Blenheim already but it will take abit to be uploaded as we have a little backlog. Blenheim is so nice and has really cool vibes to it :) Mado is fresh out of the packet, shes brand new these days 😂
Loved the concept of $100 guys across so many foodie locations. Thanks for featuring Wellington in so much detail and the famous wind finally bit you guys. Looking forward to see the South Island through your lens.
Yeah really gives you a brief idea on how far it can get you in town basically! we have some more content from the north island though as our ferry got cancelled and had to stay 3 more days actually 😂
Nice video guys. I am enjoying catching up on your back catalog of videos too. Just watched your one in Stuttgart and had to look up Aalen. It looks very pretty Mado :-)
I keep willing you to go to Customs coffee shop for a real coffee but you pick random ones I’d never go to instead hahaha! Love the content, I’m glad you are enjoying Welly, it’s fun to watch people explore my city
Was really random to see you guys at Pak n Save Rangiora on Friday 😂 I saw Glen and thought how do I know that guy?? Am looking forward to seeing your South Island videos in the near future.
Like with most things new Zealand is an expensive country. Partly it is because of the location being an island in the middle of the ocean at the bottom of the world. But it's also because of the new Zealand labour laws (yes I'm a Kiwi) and partly because of the taxes, acc fees etc... this is just some of the factors. Great video though. Also check out best ugly bagels if you get a chance
When you get over to the south island you must go have a look at Whites bay it's an amazing beach not far south from the ferry have a Google and have a look at sum of the photos
I moved from Wellington NZ to Puebla MX . I invite you to my new home . The food/value is unbelievable for this Kiwi . Id be happy to show you where to eat .
Free room in Tawa up the train line from Wellington if you guys want to check this area, Unfortunately my wife is back in England for a few weeks, but as I said, You're welcome to free accommodation if you want :D
There are a couple of places you could have got the bagels cheaper I think, ie Wholly Bagels. Maybe not the salmon one specifically, but pretty much any of all the other bagel options. You're trying out a couple of the slightly more expensive places... KC is great though, go there a lot - really good food and still really quite cheap. Must try out Pizza Pomodoro now... (Btw, it's Courtenay Place, not Courtenay Street)
Very true! Mado was definitely craving some salmon though haha. we wanted to show more of an insight as if you were a tourist coming to town for a few days.
Glen & Maddo , Got 2 see the windy city and heard Glen mentioned his last name " Courtney " sorry 4 being nosey but are u related the fashion designer Brendan ? by any chance I think he's from D24 himself . Keep up ur good vlogs can't wait 2 see the south island . Christy 🇮🇪/🇵🇹 👍
That pizza didn't have much topping on it what a rip off that's the type of pizza you get in Europe. Next time go to dominos you get a pizza half the price but with a lot more topping.
I understand your frustration but you pay for quality haha 😂 if I ate dominoes I'd feel really heavy and bad after it but with this Pizza we felt great. Domino’s is really bad quality pizza thats why its cheaper😅
@@evitasdad I disagree I have eaten pizza different countries in Europe and its rubbish compared to Dominos because its thin crust not thick base and 2nd it don't have much topping its just bread with a slight bit of cheese nothing else. Least with Dominos they give thick bread you get big chunks of cheese melting of the bread and anchovies capsicums and meats are big toppings
@@G7FX_REVIEWS Your description has….. proved my point!!! The pizza they ordered does not traditionally have heaps of toppings!!! And is supposed to be thin crust.
@@evitasdad Well i never get full stomach eating a thin slice of bread with hardly any topping on it and they charge the earth I will feel ripped off id rather just go to supermarket buy a $2 bread and some cheese, tomatoes then get my monies worth.
Not much, as a New Zealander who left nz over 20 years ago, you couldn’t buy much then for $100 so I’m sure a lot worse now, every 2 years I travel home to see family I say to myself it can’t get anymore expensive and every time it just keeps going up, the consumer is just getting bent over year after year in every way food just being a small part, I feel ashamed what’s happening to my country and the government over the past few years have shown their true colours and have totally sold the country to china and the US puppet masters.I definitely won’t be returning anytime soon once you get past the beauty there’s not much left anymore I like you’re enthusiasm but you are just travelling the country as a young couple for the first time, everything is new for you but there’s nothing you have shown that I don’t know and some.I remember them days I have travelled all over the world many many times over.P.s try and see what 100€ gets you in you’re country especially Dublin I’d say a lot less next time you are home do a blog on that 😉. Good luck 🤞
What's happening in NZ regarding cost of living and rising prices is happening all over the world. Geographically NZ is more disadvantaged and with its small economy it does struggle to keep pace with the rest of the world. But, I think you're wrong with your assessment re, the country's beauty is the only thing going for it. These guys and other RUclipsr's have highlighted through their travels and blogs what everyday Kiwis living in cities and small towns do on a daily basis, they're living normal lives and there seem to be a lot to do where ever they go. They haven't shyed away about how costly things can be on their travels either, which is great for any potential visitors to the country. The average Kiwi may not take home as much as others living in other countries, but they're a lot better off in other ways. Judging from their comments, they've travelled extensively and they maybe a young couple traveling NZ, but they are on a working holiday (for about a year) which is totally different from someone whose just visiting for a couple of weeks, so they'll have a good feel on how the country works by the time they're ready to go home.

I live in Blenheim, its quite a nice place.

Finished the challenge strongly looking at that Pomodoro pizza!!! Yum🤤😋
I love it when you guys clown around (Mado in the wind made me laugh)🙂
Can’t beat the fresh air in Wellington!
Shes a beauty!
That wind (if from the south it comes from Antarctica) makes Wellington's air the cleanest to breathe in the world...
I'm going to try that pizza place. Great video.
Nice video guys. I am enjoying catching up on your back catalog of videos too. Just watched your one in Stuttgart and had to look up Aalen. It looks very pretty Mado :-)
KC is my favourite Asian restaurant. Especially their crispy pork on rice! 🤙🏽
I keep willing you to go to Customs coffee shop for a real coffee but you pick random ones I’d never go to instead hahaha! Love the content, I’m glad you are enjoying Welly, it’s fun to watch people explore my city
oh that coffee place looks lovely, I actually think we walked past there but a shame we never went😅 Thanks so much for watching our videos🤗
Was really random to see you guys at Pak n Save Rangiora on Friday 😂 I saw Glen and thought how do I know that guy?? Am looking forward to seeing your South Island videos in the near future.
Was so nice meeting you and thanks for following the journey😅
My opinion of Wellington, is that is sux, yet there is such a vibe, which at the right time, it is best city ever 🤷♂️🤷♂️
I hate it, yet I can't wait to go back there 😊

Gotta try that pizza place if I can find it. ❤Good stuff Glen and mado. Hope the south is treating you well.
South of the North.
When you get over to the south island you must go have a look at Whites bay it's an amazing beach not far south from the ferry have a Google and have a look at sum of the photos
We actually went straight to Blenheim and never went there. We have to make sure to go there on our way back!😀
Thanks for visiting my home city. Been here my whole life. I don't like it. But is what it is.
Kc’s mee goreng ( fried noodles) is fantastic.
You chose my favourite little coffee cafe, great coffee there!
Well done!
If your still around head down to the rsa in eastbourne or spices indian in the village cant go wrong !,
Definitely due for a Welly food tour myself I think 👌
I moved from Wellington NZ to Puebla MX .
I invite you to my new home .
The food/value is unbelievable for this Kiwi .
Id be happy to show you where to eat .
Free room in Tawa up the train line from Wellington if you guys want to check this area, Unfortunately my wife is back in England for a few weeks, but as I said, You're welcome to free accommodation if you want :D

Glen & Maddo , Got 2 see the windy city and heard Glen mentioned his last name " Courtney " sorry 4 being nosey but are u related the fashion designer Brendan ?
by any chance
I think he's from D24 himself .
Keep up ur good vlogs can't wait 2 see the south island .
Christy 🇮🇪/🇵🇹 👍
Hey buddy hope your well! cant recal the famous designer unfortunately and I'm from D24 myself! thats insane Christy 😂
Amazing how you guessed that was her own business
Really didn't guess on purpose hahha
20 dollar note is my most hated note….For obvious reasons
Park away from the downtown area and catch a bus as this is much cheaper.
True! we would try to avoid this cost but just wanted to implement it for the video haha
next time you gotta trry souvlaki
we tried the real stuff in Greece, even made a video about it hahah
@@GlenAndMadotrue but the Greek food truck (name of the business) is pretty nice 😅 can always try it if you have time
Rich man

I understand your frustration but you pay for quality haha 😂 if I ate dominoes I'd feel really heavy and bad after it but with this Pizza we felt great. Domino’s is really bad quality pizza thats why its cheaper😅
It’s not the amount if topping, it is the texture and flavour.
Dominos is standard fast food stuff.
@@evitasdad I disagree I have eaten pizza different countries in Europe and its rubbish compared to Dominos because its thin crust not thick base and 2nd it don't have much topping its just bread with a slight bit of cheese nothing else.

very true its waterproof too!

Wherever you are, please stay there! Don't need your upstart one sided negativity thank you!
@@lesleyhughes3174 one sided 😂😂😂😂stay asleep, don’t you need another booster, jabsinder would approve 🖕
$14.50 for a bagel?? What a Joke 🤦
hahahah 30 dollars for two bagels you got scammed
Haha yeah very expensive! 15 dollar each as it was packed with smoked salmon
