- Today we Tour Walvis Bay Namibia and Nancy and Mike take two very different tours. Nancy tours the cultural side of Walvis Bay Namibia seeing how the local people live, eat and communicate and Mike heads out to Sandwich Harbor on a dune ride adventure tour seeing where the dunes meet the seas. Two very different tours, but both had a great time!

Nancy, the cultural experience was amazing to see and kudos to you for eating the grub! Mike, the color of the water was stunning! Thank you both for continuing to share your experiences with us!
Thanks so much for your kind words and thank you for following along with us on our journey.
OMG, that is so special that you got to see a web-footed gecko!! I am a biologist and my hubby and I are going on an excursion in Namibia to see ancient Welwitschia plants. Hopefully we'll get lucky enough to see your little gecko. Thanks for your videos.
Thanks so much. And we hope you get to see One. It really was something. Mike knew it was really a special moment.
We are the same age. It’s been amazing watching you on this trip of a lifetime. What a wonderful opportunity! Thank you for sharing. I very much appreciate the detail. Bon voyage for the next 100 days!
Thanks so much. This trip has been a dream and a blessing!
Loved the 2 different perspectives of this stop. I would have probably done the cultural tour as well… but passed on eating the bug! 😂
Sometimes it's tough having only one day when I trip like this and having to choose
The acapella singers sounded amazing!
Favor very good. We were all impressed.
My wife, Wanda, and I really love watching your take and adventures on this cruise. Thank you for doing them. Watching your videos, and quite often the others that do them, helps us see a lot of the difference types of adventures all of you have been doing. Wanda and I joined the cruise ourselves in Amsterdam and hope to at least gate a chance to say hello and thank both of you in person
Oh wonderful. Please do stop us and say hello. We would love to chat with you.😀
I love the comment in beginning - cruising and experiencing cultural awareness - personally makes me more grateful for my life and less fussy about things that go wrong - such as when I am miserable when we loose power in August Deep South after I have my pity party I thank God this will pass and say 3 Hail Marys for folks that this is their daily life. Thank you for that statement and cruisers that always complain get a life you are blessed. To have these problems . Stepping down from my soapbox Thank you.❤
You can preach on your sit box and we’re here to listen. This cruise has given us so much to really think about.
That is a big part of what travel is about learning about everyone else in the world and then how our situations compare. It gives us perspective
I enjoyed both experiences. The dunes by the ocean were beautiful.
They look like a very joyful people.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for saying along with us
Sounds like an absolutely amazing tour!
It was very interesting.
So interesting to hear about your experience, Nancy.
Thanks so much!
Not only am I thoroughly entertained by your videos but I have learned so so much ! I really enjoyed learning about the language and dialects in this video !!!! Thanks again Mike and Nancy for sharing this adventure ❤
Thanks so much for your kind words and thank you for following along with us on our journey.
Good video as always! Congrats on eating a grub Nancy, but I bet you were starving when you got back to the ship! Mike's tour looked like a lot of fun. Gosh you'll be back home before you know it. I bet you're counting the days now!
I said I would try most anything on this trip, but I would not eat a scorpion and not a tarantula so grabs were not on my list. 19 days till we get home now.
Thank you very much- having seen Nancy's tour makes me want to know more, to experience more of that. So if I was going to travel this is what I would want to experience.
So glad this was inspiring here. It was very eye-opening.
Hello Mike and Nancy, I'm happy thatyouget to try " different " kinds of foods 😊😊 Mike i love your T-shirt it looks almost a 3D can't wait for the next video ❤❤❤❤
Thanks so much
Really enjoy watching your adventures! I can’t wait to retire (in 40 years) and live life to the fullest like you all are doing! 😂🥰
You can do it!
We have been following your journey, thx Nancy for sharing your culture tour , we think as you said it’s one of the best tours , that’s what travel is about, get to learn and experience the differences
Absolutely! Thanks so much for following along with us on our journey.
Great shirt Mike! Nancy you are so respectful and speak with such grace about other cultures and their lives. I personally loved your experience and it is important to showcase. I also admire your culinary bravery. Bravo. What I saw from your video were beautiful Namibian people and families. Any of us can try and make a difference to improve others lives, maybe you inspired some people to do just that ❤
Thank you so much for your kind words. This trip has given us so much to think about and ponder and to see the good all around the world. We hope we can bring some of this back home with us.
Congratulations 🎉30,000 !!!
Yes congratulation's on the 30,000, I have been watching for a while thinking you should reach this.
Thank you!!
Omg!!! You are brave brave for trying the grub...lol
Yes, I said I did it and was giving myself a little hi-five😉
Great footage Nancy!!
Thanks so much!
Mike that shot of the dunes above the ocean @16:33 is unreal! I have to see with my own eyes!
It was one of the most beautiful places in the world, and a lot of fun
Thank you again for a glimpse into parts of the world that we do not see and is so challenging to see life must be hard for so many people
It has been a real eye-opener for both Mike and I as well as many of the passengers on this cruise.
Love watching all of your adventures!!!!
Thanks for sailing along with us
Enjoyed this one but very interesting. Loved the sand dunes. I don't know about that food you ate Nancy. You were very very brave. I could not of ate that. Those little ones were adorable but so sad to see how they were living. Eye opening. We all should see some of this back here in America and be so thankful everyday for what we have. Thanks for sharing
It certainly gave us a lot to think about and much to feel thankful for.
Wow, makes me think of how I can click 1 time and get anything I want or need. I often think about my parents, grandparents, and how they lived a much simpler life. Perhaps wanting more, but very happy with what they had. Thank you for sharing. Makes me want to help others more. We are super spoiled. And Love me some Clarkson! Hope you watched Clarson's Farm. Should be very interesting how you live your life when your trip is complete. How your experiences will perhaps change your way of life. Just from watching your videos, learning to stop more and "smell the roses". Beauty is everywhere.
It certainly does give us a perspective how to help people around the world
Hi guys I just want to say thank you so much for filming your adventures around the world and sharing your stories with us . Thank you thank you Now when you get back don’t forget to VOTE…..wow it is getting interesting.Take care with the rest of your trip take care Sarah and Geoff
Thanks for sailing along with us and we had it planned that we would be back to vote
I enjoyed Nancy’s cultural tour and thought that is what I would choose to do until Mike said “champagne and canapés” on his tour……😂 great video….I’m gonna miss your videos 😢 when your cruise ends. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks so much. We are already planning our next adventures. We appreciate you following along with us.
Very interesting tour from Nancy .
Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks for the great content as always. Keep enjoying your last 100 days. Cheers from the stowaway Englishman 😏🍺
Thanks so much!
Nancy, thank you for taking this tour, even though it may not have been the cultural experience you expected. This was wonderful to see. Learning about their language, food, etc was eye opening. Thank you for keeping it real and inspiring❤️
Do you know why the tires were around their home?
Thank you so much for your kind words. I don’t know why the retires around other than they will just reuse anything and everything so I’m sure it had a purpose.
Nancy, thanks for introducing us to that low income area. Eye opening for sure
It really was eye-opening. It gives us a lot to think about and a lot to be thankful for.
Congratulations on hitting 30,000 plus viewers 🎉
Thank you so much 😀
They are, more and more for adventure 👍
Lep pozdrav iz Slovenije
Thanks so much!
Nancy, I’m so proud of you that you tried the white grubs. I remember when Kara and Nate went to Africa and I think it was at the lodge. They got her certificate for eating the white scrubs, not sure if it was the same insects.
I also remember Andrew Zimmerman bizarre foods Was reluctant to try the white scrubs, but he ate it. So count yourself in the group of brave TH-camrs that have tried the white scrubs in Africa. Sorry I don’t know why Siri is saying scrubs instead of GRUBS.
All my messages to you are dictated into my phone because I am blind.
Thank you so much for following along with us. It certainly was an eye-opening experience and gives us a lot to be thankful for.
Mike said there were so few people on the cruise at this time please explain why. Thank you. Enjoy your content very much.
When the ship got rerouted because we couldn't go through the Red Sea due to terrorists Royal did not resell that leg they only allowed the people that were already booked to stay on. Also, many people got off to do other adventures like go to the pyramids. So we only had 700 to 800 people on the ship at that time
KEEP SAFE。
“We split up” and Nancy was like, “what a bad dad joke.”
😂
Love watching ❤ I have a question.. dose Nancy ever get mad or upset... she turns everything in to positive things... I want to be more like her
This is Nancy here and you’re so kind. Yes I do sometimes get mad and upset. But I do try not to.
I am getting ready to cruise West Africa on Norwegian Cruise Line in November and am enjoying your videos. What is the name of the tour company you used for your Sandwich Harbor tour? Thanks!
It was MC tours and we booked it through Viator but here's a direct link to their website.

It’s now August 18 & in 4 days you will be on the last leg of your journey. I’ll bet you’re happy to almost be home.
We are looking forward to getting home. We’re missing our family terribly. But it will be bittersweet as we’ve made such dear dear friends on this trip who we will then miss.
How did you guys fare with the Iceland storm? Saw some videos of it and it looked crazy.
We did fine, but yes it was a bit crazy you'll see that when that video eventually comes out. Hurricane force winds and over 30 ft Seas
Perhaps you saw a leopard, but it was too well camouflaged to recognize it.
This is true!
I followed other cruisers and I'm curious... Are you guys at a place where you're ready to be done but also sad it's almost done? I imagine with only 20 some days left in real time, you're probably feeling a lot of different emotions
You're right it's a lot of mixed emotions we are ready to see our grandchildren but we're also know that we're going to really miss the friends we've made and the adventures were having.
Thats why I dont go to Mexico anymore. The poverty is heartbreaking.Love your shirt Mike!
Thanks much, it reminds us of how blessed we are in our lives but also gives us a perspective of how we can help others in the world
Is there a sorrentos pizza on your ship? Thank you
Not a Sorrento's but the pizza is good, and it served in a couple different places on the ship
are there any 24/7 food venues on the ship? If so which ones please?
There are not any 24 seven food venues. However, you can get room service 24 seven. The café remains open until one in the morning.
@@livingphase2 great thank you
What was the musician called, and what was the instrument we see him playing?
That was a really unique instrument called a Theremin. His name was Kiva.
Are you safe? Please update us!
Yes perfectly safe, I assume you're talking about the eruption in Iceland 45 minutes before it erupted. But all is well got some beautiful video
So jealous...
No, don’t be jealous. We don’t want that. We hope to give you some thing to look forward to in the future.
It’s Walvis , not wallfish
Thank you.
hubby needs to stop interrupting
His name is Mike. So easy to criticize from afar the tremendous effort this lovely couple is making to share their journey of a lifetime. I find their enthusiasm and positivity a breath of fresh air in a world of negativity.
Yeah I know and it's something I'm always working on😊
🙁🫤🫤🫤👎🏻👎🏻
Grubs are not for everyone. And now for me, it’s a been there done that. Don’t need to do it again.
SO, the morale to the story is culture is good, BUT good fun produces go food and fun. cheers. p.s. love the T. BUT, hand up, l am a guy.
Thanks for following along in our journey.👍🏻
