    Guys awww I laughed out loud at that footage of us running into each other! How funny was it that we just kept running into each other ... it's like the universe wanted us to finally meet. Sad we couldn't hang out today, but can't wait to see your episode from St.Bathans.
    P.S. to anyone reading this comment - Glen and Mado are even cooler in person!
    Catch you down the road. x

    When I lived in Germany I made pies for a few friends, they loved them. I often thought it would be a great business in Germany to make pies, once people got to try them they would go really well. I know two people who started making pies in the US, and they just went crazy for them. So there's a business idea for you Mado, when you return to Europe..

    Sangas Pies especially the holy smoke was our favourite, closely followed by fat bastards in Invercargill… whilst your in st bathens you should head over to Waipiata and check out Waipiata Country Hotel - Waipiata Pies they are #1 plus they do Guiness (bonus) 👍

    Yea sangas pies was actually started by the builders in front of the shop - Sangster construction 😂 - originally just for the local tradies … now it’s a bit of an institution!
    Kiwis love a good pie
    If you guys are going past again, Jackson’s orchard is where the locals usually go, not tourist prices - just along from webbs 👌✌️

    Lots of nice fruit, the seconds can be great buying. Cromwell is famous for strong winds over the summer, it sure can blow. It is nice they were able to preserve some of the old town before the lake was filled up.

    Cromwell has some excellent vineyards with tasting rooms and cafes. Also there is Highlands Motorsport Park, with Museum, go karts, cafe and track laps, well worth going to if you have time.

    I envy you both so much. I have been a full time nomad in NZ for 6 yrs now and so much of my day is spent trying to find places to stay that I miss all of the wonderful things that you discover. It makes so much difference when you can travel with someone else. One drives while the other searches out things to do, places to see etc. Finding good sites to stay in the tourism areas gets so hard. Would love for you to be able to note where you stay, but can understand if you would rather keep some secrets.😊 Travel safe. 🙋‍♀️🚐

    New Zealand still had a number of manual telephone exchanges, like the ones you played with, up until about 1990. Queenstown still had a manual telephone system in 1988, serving 2400 customers with 64 operators manning the boards in rostered hours.

    Forest Lodge cherry orchard in Cromwell is probably the world’s first 100 per cent electric, zero fossil fuel orchard. They have a electric tractor that can autonomously follow you or do work by itself. Cromwell is the future... the future is very pretty.

I would like to mention, I have been watching you both since u started these blogs. Mado, u look like u aren’t enjoying yourself, Glen laughs and jokes which gives a happy vibe. Mado u can be a bit grumpy which is starting to make me feel like I don’t want to watch. Bring back the fun….

      Not true at all, what a rude comment. Mado is just a bit more serious than Glen, and probably English is her second language so it's harder to express yourself. I think they compliment each other perfectly.
