    Love how visitors call them mountains. To Kiwis they are hills. 🙂

    These are the ordinary Kiwi places (small towns) that most tourists never really see. They're not glamorous but it's fun to watch you exploring them.

    Eltham is pronounced Al-tham. Glad you enjoyed Taranaki. The next place you stopped at is called Hawera. Pronounced Har- where-ra (roll the R). Now you know you can also get milk from Bulls. That plane area is called Ohakia (pronounced O-Har-Key-Ah) which was a military air base but is now for commercial flights

    Kia ora guys, definitely love your version of travelling aotearoa (nz) above all others, it surely must come with its up and downs but hey live it and own it i say, as for infrastructure, theres nothing worst than travelling a country with pot holes everywhere...hehe! Take care mado and glen and enjoy wellywood❤ PS, the labour are definitely not celebrating now they lost and the Nats are in...god save nz...lol

    • @GlenAndMado

      Damn Aotearoa is beautiful! loving the layout, the coast and the houses along the mountain. To be honest this has been the handiest gig so far while travelling as were just looking after animals and at the moment asking around the area for little jobs here and there to pay for food and fuel. don't get me started with the potholes they seem to be everywhere 😭 the car feels like a rollercoaster sometimes 😂🙈 haven't been following the politics. and its the first we heard of it!

Next time you’re going through bulls you’ll have to spot all the ridiculous bull related signs they have up around the town

      Motorways are only near the major cities. Bulls, for instance, is on the main road, State Highway 1.

    • @GlenAndMado
      @GlenAndMado  Před 10 měsíci +1

      Thats the cheapest I've seen around that time of travelling but I've found some around the same price just outside wellington now actually! We took the main roads, basically following Google maps, @cnm757 exactly what you mentioned theres only motorways near the big cities 😂 In fairness I prefer it this way as I like driving through little towns on our travels, I feel that it creates a more authentic experience :)

    • @PaulG.x
      @PaulG.x Před 10 měsíci

      No refinery in NZ - we had one but it closed because it was not economic to upgrade it.
      There is a related reason for the fuel to be lower the closer you are to a port that has fuel storage facilities. In this case Wellington and possibly Wanganui
