THIS PLACE WILL SURPRISE YOU! Our New Favorite City? First Impression Nelson | New Zealand 🇳🇿

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.

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 .

It’s lovely to see my home town through fresh eyes - it’s easy to take for granted when you’re so used to it - but Nelson is really special ❤

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.

My favourite YouTubers Galen and mado keep it up

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.

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.

Tahunanui beach is the best. I used to live in Nelson and it is my favorite place to go. Different vide is right :)

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.

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

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.
