 talk. You're live. Am I live? You are. Oh, cool. What? We're just recording us having a coffee. Hello. Hello. Hello from. Where are we? Switzerland? Hello from Switzerland. Okay. Do I look tired or what? I've been traveling. Look at this. Look at this bag. Maybe it's just because I'm outside. Yeah, it's all good. We're enjoying a nice coffee. Oh, that's strong. Is it really? Yeah. So I've been in Switzerland a couple of days with the Growing Up Without Borders Chantel's family. It's been fantastic. We've had a lot done in a couple of days. They've been nice. Cheese. We've got cheese. We've got chocolate. We've got mountains. We've got biking, swimming, jazz festivals, castles. Yeah, it's been great. That's what you do when you're on a holiday in one day, two days in Switzerland. So we've only been here really two days and we're leaving going back to France. So if you don't know, I've been traveling around Europe for three weeks. We've got London. We've got Paris. We've got, oh, we also did the UK. We did the whole South of France. We did, what else do we do? Italy. We did Genoa or Genova. I don't know. They have like, okay, here's my question for you Chantel. In Italy, the names of these main cities like, so we're in Florence, Milan, whatever, but it's Firenze. Firenze. Firenze. I almost missed it. Why are we not calling it Firenze? Why are we calling it Florence? I don't know. I was, or Roma. I was on a train. Why aren't we calling it Roma? I know. I know. I was on an overnight train and then all of a sudden I hear Firenze and I'm like, that's not Florence. And I'm like, holy crap, wait, I think that's Florence. Like, why is it a different name? Why are we just calling it that as a whole name? Out there, Roma. Out there, Roma. New Zealand. That's true. Yeah. It is the same name, but yeah, yeah, yeah. Hello, guys. Tell us where you are. Nice to catch you live. Yes. I don't go live much, so yeah. We haven't gone live in forever. In forever. We've been so busy, so yeah. Yeah, it's just been. They've been traveling the world because that's what they do. And I guess so have I. So last night we drove up to these mountains. Maybe I can show you. Oh, okay. Can you see, can you see those? Wait, wait, let's get to where we were. Okay, so we're up there. We're up at the top. Like there. At this restaurant, at this restaurant with the sunset and the view. And it was like, what? It was so beautiful. Oh my goodness. I was at a lot of mountain tops on this trip, but that was the best one. There's mountains all around us, by the way. Let's just show you if you want to see the mountains. Show, show, show. So I'll go slow because the internet might cut. So you got mountains, you got Lake Geneva across the street, and you got more mountains. So it's pretty much mountains everywhere. It's beautiful. Yeah. So if you don't know Chantel and her family, they travel every country in the world with their three girls. And but this is where they call home. Like this is where the girls grew up 10 years off and on. Yeah. It's kind of like, yeah, the girls moved from Canada to Florida and then to Europe. And this is home for us. So yeah. I haven't tried that pretzel bread. Okay, let's talk about the food. Can we talk about the food? Everybody's always interested in food. And I have a lot to say about that. So we're going to do it. Did you guys know that there's like mayonnaise that you only buy in Switzerland? That is like the best. And it's so good. She tried it. And I got a big one and I'm taking it home with me. She tried it. And I told my mom and she's like, why are you bringing mayo? Like that seems weird. I go, I get, I agree it until you have this. Then you won't question it. And then grill cheese is like the authentic Grio cheese. You can buy Grio cheese anywhere in the world. But when you buy it from the town of Grio, it's like, it's the authentic Grio. True. It's amazing. And so they gave, I went to tour yesterday and they gave you a sample of like three months, six months, nine months. I like three months. Maybe I'm just a wimpy cheese eater, but it gets stronger, right? But here's the good news. Everybody in the US is their biggest export is the US 10% of the cheese goes to the US. No, there's chocolate in Switzerland that they don't export either. So they kind of like, it's kind of like their wine. Have you ever seen Swiss wine on any shelves in the world? You won't find it because they keep it all for themselves. Well, maybe from the valley they have some, but anyway, it's rare, right? Versus Kiwi wine gets like delivered all around the world. Anyway, so they're the same like their chocolate. There's a chocolate brand and they went to the chocolate factory yesterday called Kaya. And it's like, to me, it's the best chocolate. So good. It's really good. It's really good. And like this tour, you got to try all this chocolate. And it was so much chocolate by the end. I was like, I don't know how people buy it after that. Yeah. I was so like, it's like the sugar high, the chocolate it was, but the museum was amazing. I would highly recommend it because like I'm really interested in like where they get the chocolate. Like I've done a lot of work with the willing chocolate factory. And so I'm familiar with their bean to bar and where they source their stuff and how they work with the farmers. And so just you could taste all of the stuff and where they get it. I mean, they made a deal with Nestle in the 1930s because they had to because, you know, it's a depression. But so I'm not convinced that was a good idea, but you got to do what you got to do. Wellington. Hey, from Johnsonville. Johnsonville. Wellington. Cool. I don't even know where Johnsonville is. Johnsonville is just the suburb of Wellington. Like, you know, like it's on your way to Puerto Rua. Okay. Nice. So yeah. So okay. So the cheese and the wine, we had the wine last night. That was really good. Yeah. So, but I can get the chocolate in the States. Is that I could? Yeah. You're saying I can't? Maybe online you can, yeah. Oh, okay. I think you can get it online. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Because I was just like everything is melting in my car because it's, you know, so I'm like, I don't want to eat it. I know. So I bought some and I ate it. You want to know a sad story? We were like leaving on this big trip and we always usually bring a box like this size of chocolate. That's that way we have our stash and we have gifts to give away and stuff. Yes. We get on the first bus ride and then we go to the next like town to catch our train and we're like, where's the chocolate? And one of the girls left it on the bus. We left from the very, and we couldn't go back because we were like having to catch a flight and we were like, because we would have gone back for our chocolate for sure. So yeah, it was very sad. Lost all of our chocolate. Yeah. Well, you know how I do when I bring New Zealand chocolate to the USA and the eating it all. So you know, at New Zealand chocolate, you can find pretty much in every country as well. Like we keep finding it everywhere. We're like, they have Whittaker's chocolate here. I haven't found it in the US. Oh, maybe I haven't looked hard enough. Yeah, I don't know about the US. When are you heading back to New Zealand? They're wondering. Oh, happy Matriki. Nice. That's right. That was this. Was it just this weekend? I don't know. I'm always gone in July. So I miss it. When's growing up without borders coming back to New Zealand? Oh, you're going to think we're there because we're going to do this whole thing. We have so many videos. So we're going to be doing the Waikato area where we went like the black water rafting and stuff. We're launching all those videos soon, like soon ish, like in two months ish. So you're going to think we're there, but we're not coming back till maybe Christmas time ish around that time. Christmas time. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah. I mean, that would be the time. I'm going to go crash the party at Ruth Arula. Yes, yes, yes. I'm going to go crash the party like I do. Yes, it's great. Yeah. Anyway, do you guys have any questions about Switzerland? I have learned so much about Switzerland. It's so interesting. You have? Yes. Like it's so nice to go to a country where people live and know about it because I've been going to these countries that have no idea. Yeah. Yeah. Chloe was their tour guide yesterday. Yes. It was great and she can speak fluent French. So that helps because you should have seen me at the bike place. I went rode bikes this morning and then like Bonjour. And then that's about it. Do you speak French? Yeah. I mean, do you speak English? Well, the one guy did not who was getting my bike and he kept like, I'm like, I don't know what you're saying. Oh, no. And then the other guy was, then the other guy could be he and I get to him later. Yeah. Okay. But then he got all interested that I live in New Zealand and it was a whole thing. Oh, okay. It's my tricky today. Oh, that's cool. Oh, nice. Nice. I don't even know what day it is. I don't know what day of the week it is. I don't know the date. Robbie's asking what you're doing in Switzerland. So to back it up, Tara's been here for three weeks, not in Switzerland, grand tour of Europe. And she's been like going hardcore, like they've been going every single day and he's thought and this is like, you guys don't know my husband, but that's he doesn't stop. He's the energizer bunny. It's great. Like last night we drove up the mountain and we stopped at a church. He ran out of the car, took some photos. Okay. Now we're going and like, I thought Tyler was go, go, go. But he's another level of different level. And yeah, like literally to the point where like, so in London and Paris, I had some restaurants, you know, because we were traveling with my parents at that point and you know, he's like, Oh, we see time eating. We got stuff to see, you know, because we're like only have like two days in the city, like you want to see everything. And I'm like, so Tyler, he'd be like, just take a sandwich and just take a sandwich and keep going. Doesn't care. Just doesn't care about the meal usually. And we'll just eat dinner. Okay. Some people can go without food though. Like I need to eat food. We haven't been eating much. Like we basically eat a little bit in the morning and then somehow it's like a dinner and we haven't we like at the gas station, we get some chips and some that literally that's what I've been eating. I'm so sick of croissants. Okay, well, we fed them good. Well, they've been there. Oh, it was great. They've Oh, Chloe made Italian risotto last night and it was like so yum. It was so good. I don't know the bread here like we had we had those like turkey salami. Yeah. And then the beer, whatever cheese, cheese and the mayo and the mayo. Yeah, the food has been fantastic. But I say Italy with Vince. Sorry, France. Really? Sorry, France. But after a while, really, oh my gosh, like everything, even like the bakery, I thought was better. The gelato is out of this world. I had a lot of French bakery. I had Paris. I had all the way down. I had the south of France. I mean, it was good. I mean, I thought it was great, you know, until I had Italy when I was like, maybe that's just my taste. Oh, that's good. But that pizza, oh my gosh, I don't know what we're trying to make in New Zealand. But it's not that. Where are the Italians? Oh, I mean, the cheese. The cheese. Yeah. Everything is so good. I this is okay. I'm just going to say one thing about this is like I packed, I don't know, things because like your stomach gets upset when you eat different food, right? Anytime I've traveled, especially in the US, because for obvious reasons. But like all of Europe, I've had no stomach. Nothing. I think like everything is like homemade or something like everything is like there's no preservatives. The bread is made fresh in the morning, and then you don't eat it after that. And I got sick right at the end of it. So we've been this I just arrived a day before she came. Okay, you guys. So we've been away. Well, good thing we're like family. So it's like she doesn't need to stress with us. It's not like, you know, you're really hosting. No, I mean, it's all good. But I'm just saying like, I wasn't sick. Like this whole time. And like, maybe a week before I came home, I got sick. And I'm just getting over it. Yeah, well, you wouldn't even know it. That's what moms do. Yeah. We make it happen. No matter what we suck it up and keep going. We got guests. We got to move out today. We got new guests coming. We just got we just keep moving. And then we're like, okay. So y'all want to see what the chocolate looks like here? Yes, get that. Oh, yeah, get the chocolate and maybe the cheese. I got sugar for slice of bread in the you. Oh, wow. Oh, really? And I feel so good. The butter is different. The flour is different. There's no eating as much because it's so hot in the south of French was 98 degrees Fahrenheit 3837 38 Celsius. I was dying. It was hot. And now it's just really nice. So you can't eat when you're hot. Oh, yeah, yeah, go show, go show. I got to go soon. But I just thought I'd go live and say hi. This is really nice place. But you know what, guys, it looks like Queen's Town. So like, they're going to move to Queen's Town. And like, this looks just like it. So it's kind of funny. But the Swiss are are cranky. Let me just tell you, I would not do well in France. I thought I'd love Paris. I didn't love it as much as I thought I would. But because people are so like, I was calling to book some tickets and the lady I was like, can I get four tickets? Yeah, I already said yeah. And I was like, oh, this isn't going to go over well. I'm about to go down. And then like, I was at the store yesterday and the lady's like, no, you put the basket over here. And I was like, I'm about to lose it because it's not going to be pretty. But they don't speak English. So I'm okay. So kids here in Europe, when they, well, Europe, Switzerland, when you go to school, you literally order camp or whatever, they give you a branch chocolate. Oh, this has hazelnuts in it and a piece of bread. That's okay. So this is me going to chocolate factory. This was my favorite. So I bought it. You guys ready for it? Yeah. Oh my gosh. So this is what it looks like. And the inside, usually you don't really put it in the fridge, but we did. The inside's like this. So it's like soft. Oh yeah, because I was just going to travel with it. Creamy. And it's just like, which really good. And you put your bread warm croissants in the morning. You put that in a croissant. Yeah. You buy a croissant that's still warm. Can you agree? Stick this in? So many croissants. So much bread. I didn't eat so many carbs before I came and now it's just all carbs. But you don't like feel it, do you? You don't feel it. Like I don't feel yuck. I don't feel bloated. You don't feel anything. No. But it's been three weeks in all these countries. And their kids aren't homesick. I was surprised. I asked them. I was like, are you guys homesick? My kids? Yeah. Oh, really? Oh no, they're having a great time. Yeah. Because some kids, you know, they travel and they get homesick. Well, my kids are about done though. They're ready to go see grandma because we're going to the US after this. They're done with castles, churches. Yeah. My god. We're doing her side though, before we go. That'll be really nice. Have you guys been there? We were, our kids are like, because we've been traveling through certain like Muslim countries. And so it's kind of like the churches in Europe. After a while, the kids are like, I don't want to go see another mosque. We went to like one of the most beautiful mosques I've ever seen. And I've seen a bunch. Yeah. It was in Kuwait. And Chloe refused to go in. So I actually stayed outside with her. First of all, they didn't want to like wear the whole, you know, covering and everything. And they're like, mom, we're so done with this. And I went in and I was like, I wish they would have come in. It was like the most is like a piece of art. Like every single thing was just so beautiful. Yeah. Anyway, but when they're out there, when they're done, they're done. Well, I was in Florence and Italy to barely get the kids out of the hotel room. By the time we got there, they were like, I'm not a nook here. And I'm like, this is like your one day to see the city. Like, that's it. You know, so it was great. Me and Dan just went out. It was great. Kay's saying it's awesome that we're sharing your holiday. Oh, how nice. You've seen the Côte d'Azur in the marathon. I feel like when we, when I started our YouTube channel, us as a family, our videos are so bad. And I was like going to share one the other day with someone and then I watched it. And I was like, Oh my gosh, I feel like we should go re-film a lot of the places we did in Europe. Oh yeah, you could do that because they're so amazing. You could go and spend some time there. They're so beautiful, except for we are trying to get to the countries we've never visited. So unfortunately, it's going to be other places. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Well, anyway, you guys have to go. Guess where they're going? Dijon. Like Dijon mustard. Dijon mustard in France. Are you going to buy some? Like, are there different variations there, do you think? Or is it just one Dijon mustard? Girl, I haven't been there. I don't know. You have to tell me I've never been to Dijon, France. Then we're going to Versailles. Then we're flying out of Paris and I'm going to Chicago. So. Isn't it cool, like when you hear like all these like songs, like you guys know the French song, there's like an actual Avignon bridge. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Right. And like there's all these like, so a lot of these songs is like the the tale of that little place, which is cool. And then you go there and you're like, Oh, that's it. These songs are actually about something. Yeah. The London bridge actually What's the best chocolate in the U.S.? Nothing. I have a friend who brought, oh, get this. She came to visit me in Switzerland once. Now, okay, this goes back years, years. Like she was 16. Okay. She brought her, she's chocolate. And she fasted around to people and they were like disgusted. It's awful. Like, so yeah. Oh, it is. I think she was thinking like all her kisses, you know. Yeah. Don't bother. I'll get back to you on that. Let me think about that. I don't know that there is. Maybe like it would have to be like, like a chocolatier person, like who actually makes it, like, individual company. Yeah, there is. So yeah, that's true. We need Swiss weather in New Zealand. Yes. We'll send it over through the internet. We have to go though. You guys have a great Matariki day and we will see you later. Great to chat. Send us any questions or anything you want to see because I've taken lots of pictures. She'll post some. I'll send her some photos. Yeah. All right. See y'all. Bye.
