Our Big Travel Plans Are Finally Revealed! South Africa and Beyond
A few years back, a private helicopter crashed in the forest. After years of fruitless searching, they gave up. Finally, some workers came across it, all covered in branches - which is why they never found it. The occupants were skeletons by then, still wearing their jewelry. Turned out the elephants covered it as if to make a funeral pyre for the humans.
Shew that is incredible 👍👌
George Rex bragged about being such an accomplished hunter, that he would sneak up to his hundredth elephant, and pluck a tail hair. Didn't end well. He got slammed into a few trees then got squashed.😂 😂😂 (I love that story.)
That's hectic 😂😂😂
How did Knysna get it's name? George Rex and his lady were admiring the view at the Heads, and he leaned over to her and said, "Naaice, na?"
😂😂😂😂
Swim at Leisure isle at your own risk. Ecoli overkill. (Watch Carte Blanche.)
O wow didn't know that 🤔
Useless info. All the shipwrecks at the heads were insurance scams. When steamers replaced the big sails, and noone could sell them, they arranged skeleton crews to wait for stormy weather, then enter the heads at low tide, hit the underwater stone bar, swim ashore, then claim insurance. However, maritime law dictates that when a ship is in distress, it must drop anchor. None of them did, so none got paid out. (From an ex- Satour guide.)
Thanks for the information 👍😊
Great stuff the two of you! The boertjie from Velddrif, West Coast! I have subscribed.
Thank you, much appreciated. Welcome to the channel 😊😊👍
Lovely ❤Robertson Town …will visit one day
You must it is a great experience 👍👍
Lucky you , what a wonderful experience
It was totally amazing 😊😊
Let us know what your favourite place in Robertson is 👍😊
The Grand Hotel 😊😊
😊👍
is it possible to purchase these wines online as well from these vineyards?
Yes I'm sure it is 👍👍
Well done! New bucket list when next I'm in hermanus 😁
Thanks so much 👍😊
Nice hike from McGregor to Greyton, or vice versa, with halfway sleepover.
O wow thanks for that 😊👍
dont tell where the rhinos are there are siff scum putrid things that go after them im on their trail they just dont know it
Awesome Guys. Love it.
Thanks so much 😊👍
How beautiful and delicious is this place. Thanks for posting. Have to visit soon.
Our pleasure, hope you get there 👍😊
Perhaps named Onrus because the natives were getting restless. There was once a Minister of Finance, Barend du Plessis, with no financial education. The media called it onrusbarend 😄.
Maybe 😂😂
Onrus is actually called Onrus River and it is named after the river that flows into the sea here. If you can steer clear of some of the local ‘tannies’ that just love complaining, you will have a rustige time😀
@claudetteduplessis4345 thanks for the info 👍😊
You can park right above Breakfast Bay and just walk down the dunes.
Thanks so much for that, much easier 😊👍
Love it !
Thanks so much 👍😊
Great videos, you have given me some ideas for stops on our upcoming trip from the US to SA. Keep them coming! Anything in the works on Prince Albert, Franschhoek, or Graaf-Reinet?
th-cam.com/video/oNm-H96icu8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=UcbMEzjFw3hc1mzb
Thanks so much, here is the link to our Franschhoek video. We still have to get to the others 😊👍
No longer a secret then, hey....?
Not a chance, the holiday traffic jam is a giveaway 😊😂👍
I live in Cape Town, and I always say that there is so much in South Africa that we have not seen. When i Have the opportunity, I would first explore our country before thinking of going overseas. Thanks for the info on some of the hidden gems in our beautiful country.
Yes there is so much to see and do in South Africa! 👍😊
@@MidlifeTravelTales So true. Have a blessed Christmas and happy travels.
Thanks so much, you too 😊👍
@@MidlifeTravelTales thank you.
guys are there any wines that you don't enjoy?
😂😂😂 Yes there are but we don't show those ones 😂👍😊
Please tell us what the costs are
Yes sorry we weren't to clear on that 👍
Thanks for posting these beautiful video's 😍
Thank you, our pleasure 🙏😊
Nothing like a South African coastal town in December! Even though I went to school in Hermanus, I'm not that familiar with Onrus. This video increased my understanding and knowledge of the area. Thanks for posting this!
Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed it 😊👍
Lovely ❤Onrus..will visit one day
You must definitely 👍💯
At time 3:55 on the video did you drive through a STOP 🛑 sign???
I don't think so, hopefully not 👍👍
Hahahaha busted. Great video guys!
😂😂😂 Thanks so much 👍😊
I love Onrus, such a great vibe
Yes it does, feels like a happy town 👍👍
home town
Awesome, hope you enjoyed the video 😊👍
What places did we miss out in Onrus?
Moltenos restaurant great hang out place for the locals.
You missed the best bakery in Onrus and also in the whole of the Overberg. It's BROOD bakery in Molteno Rd, same road as Molteno's restaurant. Best breads of all kinds, made from only sourdough. The Vermont, Onrus, Sandbaai (VOS) cliff path is 9km, with only the Onrus beach that breaks the path before you get to the Sandbaai area😊
We went there but sadly it was closed 😊👍
Aagh so sorry we missed it, but next time 👍👍
Keep doing what you're doing. You are a lovely and very real, down to earth couple. I share your videos with my friends abroad to show them our beautiful country 🤗@MidlifeTravelTales
Durban is so beautiful. It's always been so close to my heart.
Yes we love Durbs 👍😊
Good wine, happy wife 😂
@@PromenadeinFrance absolutely 💯😂
More garden tour of Van loveren when you are back please
Okay we will do our best 👍😊
Just a little stream hey... You should have seen in Sep '23... Buried my SUV and washed away half the farm... White flowers are carrots, grown for seed... We have 2 doctors here believe it or not... Unfortunately that pink house has been on the market for years. Possibly one of the unsafest houses around due to location next to the 'location' aka White City. Bylaws prevent building high enough walls to prevent breakins. That poor house gets so vandalised. Old Post Office Whiskey Bar has now reopened for the season. Thanks for visiting and enjoying our little village in the road to nowhere.
Thanks so much for all the information it really is amazing to hear, we love your town and will definitely be back 👍😊😊
The western Cape ❤is a class on its own..Very different from any part of Africa…it’s fascinating 🤨
Yes it is totally different I agree 😊😊👍
Just a request please...when you visit for instance Van Loverin Est...please tell us that it is on the Bonnievale road, or on the Ashton/ Monteque road, and we can orientate ourselves so much better?
We will try remember, thanks for the feedback 😊👍
Osteria Allegra is a rare gem that is close to Hermanus (15 min drive) and offers excellent food in a beautiful setting, and gets you out of the tourist madness!
We will definitely check it out 👍👍
@MidlifeTravelTales Yes do! It is in Botrivier by the way!
@Willwesthouse thank you so much 👍👍
Amazing 🤩 setting in this coffee shop ❤
Yes it was 😊👍
Love your videos.
Much appreciated, thank you 😊😊

Awesome thank you, no we originally from Umhlanga
What a lovely area, great wine farms!😀
Yes it's an excellent area for wine lovers 😊👍
Never realized how much the Robertson area had to offer
Neither did I, it's amazing 👌👍
Cape Town just gets better and better
There really is so much to do in the area 😊👍
What is your favourite town in South Africa?
Clarens😊
@@Openupthegates1 love Clarens, we still need to film there 👌
Lenticular clouds.
Thanks so much 😊👍
You should never ever pick up a tortoise.
It was stuck
Leave the place. It's a georgous little town. Just leave it alone.
🤣🤣 Okay

Yes we are just starting to learn about them 👌
Montagu lovely 😻 ❤town
