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. 😊
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 .🍦
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! 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! :)
Was going to say that the drive up is amazing And on sun rise or sunset at the top is amazing as well
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... ;)
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 guys just get better & better. Remember 1 x sheep & 2 x sheepettes, 1 x Duck & 2 x Duckettes Easy Peasy!! hehe
Glad you enjoyed it here. Chch is such a great place to live ❤
Gotta love them goggley hills
Glen mado
...im kiwi but you 2 showed me other side of nz I never seen..thank u
So glad you love our beautiful city. Happy Birthday Glen. X
Mado I love that you call them sheeps! ❤ I love that you've had such a lovely time here. X
Haha at least someone agrees with us 😂😅😂 highly appreciate the special words ❤️
I live here … it is so encouraging to see it through your eyes
She’s a beauty my friend
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!
Good stuff guys.
Always great to have visitors… and see different perspectives on what we take as normal!
Enjoy!
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.
Just love to watch your films guys. Brings back good memories. I visited Christchurch in 2019, and had a great time there :)
Hahaha bohemian bakery is a top one. Their mushroom roll i always get it then hike up and eat them there somehow they're always still warm
😍 another enjoyable video. Thanks Glen and Mado 🙂
Sheepy is a cute alternative! In Māori sheep are called hipi (pronounced heepy)
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 ❤
Mediterranean with a sprinkle of 12.9 degrees currently 😂 and the sheeps are nervous
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 .👍
your lovely people
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 :-)
Hey if u love caves in beach go to Waverley West Coast North Island Waverley beach
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 👍
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.
Oh next episode cool: Mado, Glen watch Living Big in a Tiny House when Brice did a episode on it. Very cool.
Welcome to Christchurch guys
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.
You could have a look at armageddon if you are in Christchurch still it's on this weekend 13th and 14th
Sheep’s is the best 👍😂♥️♥️🌹
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.
🙏🇩🇪🇳🇿🇮🇪
Sheeps better
Back to Gran Canaria in about 10 days, for another 3 months.
Ha! I grew up in Heathcote/Sumner
It’s a little paradise on a sunny day 🙂
To be honest I lived in sumner for years and I’ve never seen it so quiet lol
That cave was almost as big as big boi head!😂
my neighbours kid owns the Bohemian Bakery.
Mado "Oooh a cave, Glen loves caves""
Glen "I love caves!!"
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 understand what you mean my friend! Thanks for the comment! Will be getting onto the pacific islands and Asia after New Zealand!

Probably favourite city! Definitely.
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
