- We are just giving you a little taste of Strand, our hometown! It’s a beautiful seaside resort with an amazing beach where you can go walking or running for kilometres. Restaurants are located all along Beach Road where a person can enjoy well-prepared meals, ice cream shops, fast food joints and so much more. We will be taking you on a slow drive up and down Beach Road showing what it looks like over the holiday season and also what it looks like when we have it to ourselves. We share one of our favourite places for a light lunch and a sundowner on the beach. Enjoy! #DustBugs #adventuretravel #southafrica #southafricavlog #travelongravel #capetown #westerncape #strand #tablemountain #beach

THESE 2, SOUNDS AS IF THEY R AN ITEM. MUST JUST SAY WHICH EVER IS IN CHARGE OF TAKING THIS VIDEO IS DOING AN EXCELENT JOB. NO SHAKING, JOLLY GOOD SHOW. I AM 82 AND BEEN GOING TO THIS BEACH SINCE I WAS 15. WHEN WE HAD KIDS, THIS IS WHERE WE BROUGHT THEM FOR FISHING, SWIMMING, THE "FUN PARK" AND PICNICKS. OH WHAT MEMORIES THE 2 OF U GAVE ME NOW. I SALUTE YOU, THANK YOU SO MUCH. B/D
Another fantastic video. Thank you. The government should pay you for this an all your videos, because you show the world how ZA really is.
I lived there for eight years best place in the world
We agree with you wholeheartedly! 🤩🌊 You must miss Strand sometimes, the place creeps deep inside one's heart.
Visited the Strand the first time end 1976 after finishing school and again in 2017.....was completely overwhelmed by the development especially on the water fromt
Yes, I can believe that. You're talking about a gap of 41 years between visits! I've seen some old pics of Strand and I often struggle to believe it's the same place. It's high time you visit again! 🚗🌊
Yes Curtis, my accomodation was in Brand street, a B+B, same street as in 1976 when I'll visited a lady friend
Just to say I love watching your travels with my wife, who makes me a cup of coffee when she gets up and says: Put on Dustbugs before you get your coffee.
Thank you so much, how wonderful to hear that you watch our videos with your first cup of morning coffee! 🚗☕ We're so glad to hear that you enjoy our videos. We look forward to taking you to many more beautiful and interesting places! 😍🇿🇦
Wow what an amazing sunset, it so beautiful. Strand seems to have a peaceful lay back atmosphere. Stunning
Awesome Clip this is by far one of my favourite beaches and I've always sed it and always come on hot days
The best beach according to us too, we're in agreement! 😁🌊 Few things beat Strand beach on a hot summer day. I'm so glad to hear that you also enjoy coming here. We appreciate you watching, thank you! 🚗🤩
Hi you two!
What a wonderful trip along this unique beach, thank you! It is not for nothing that the town is called Strand. As Sonia rightly said, it must be one of, if not the, largest beaches on our coasts. I must admit that I'm a bit jealous of you living there. Your drone views were stunning with the music adding even more. The design of the modern buildings we saw, was fascinating.
Nothing lacking on this trip: blue skies, blue sea, white beaches and dunes, mountains and the pleasant greenery at the golf course.
I am happy for you that you two could at last, after your Cape trips, enjoy a drink with a beautiful sunset on the beach.
Looking forward to you continuing this great program.
Have a good rest and
Keep safe!
Thank you for accompanying us on these outings around the Peninsula and surrounds, it was an experience we'll be forever grateful for and we fell in love with the area all over again! We are indeed blessed and fortunate to live here! 😍🚗 You listed everything that Strand has to offer nicely, it really is a wonderful place! I'm extra happy to hear that you enjoyed the drone footage, the music and the sunset, it was spectacular! 🌅 We got enough rest, but got lazy quickly, so you'll soon see where we were headed to next! 😁🇿🇦 You can also look forward to those long-awaited cuppas, might I add!
Ok thats it I'm done. Pack me up and send me to Strand. Im sold!!!!!!!!
Happiness! 😁 We do live in a very beautiful town with a very beautiful beach and a very beautiful ocean. I don't think I need to continue, you said you were sold already! 🤩🚗 Thank you for taking these drives closer to home with us, it's been a great experience!
Ugh you guys.....just on a different vibe.....dont stop!!!!
Brilliant. I'm going to start looking at property in Strand right now. Awesome place. Never even knew such a lovely beach exist in the area. Awesome video... as always. Keep up the good work. The ending is spectacular.
Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed the video and the sunset! 🌅 Some pretty spectacular properties can be found in Strand. We may be a little biased, but you can't go wrong on Beach Road! 🤩🏘️
I'm going back to Strand in October for the first time in 20 years. Cant wait to explore the town and see my old school and house!
My home for a year, until end 2018. Lived just off Beach road, near the Caltex garage. You make me lekker lus for those Belgian Waffles. Although, I did go there in December or maybe late November. That Ice Cream place next to the Belgian Waffles is probably my favourite of that group that are dotted along the Strand coast.
I do think it is the best beach in the Western Cape - not my favourite, that would be Fish Hoek - because of Jagger's Walk. When I tell people I meet about Strand, that whoever named the place, did a good job. "Die Strand" in Afrikaans (or Dutch) - "The Beach" in English. It does have the best of all the more popular beaches in Cape Town. Seaside Restaurants (Camps Bay), Pavilion (Sea Point), Walkway, Putt Putt, Surf (Muizenberg), Kite surfing (Blouberg), Fishing, Sand Dunes, Safe, Family Friendly (Fish Hoek), Swimming is safe (though I'm not sure I have swum there so not completely sure of backcurrent). You name it. All on a much smaller scale than the more popular beaches.
You hundred percent right about those winter days too.
That must've been a happy year you spent here! 😁 Thank you for mentioning some of your favourite places for a nibble and for highlighing the long list of what Strand has to offer, it really is a stunning place. I found the bits you took from the other places very interesting, so what we always thought was true. We have the best of every place right here at home! 🚗🌊 I don't swim in the ocean often, but I do believe that rip currents are an ever-present threat to swimmers in False Bay. 😨 Thank you for tagging along on these drives around the Peninsula and surrounds, it was fun hearing your thoughts about the different places!
@@DustBugsTravel I was taken out by a current at Kleinmond once. But I am (was) a decent and fit swimmer and knew what to do. So no harm done at all.
I know the currents between say Sunrise beach and Monwabisi are bad. I'm unsure about Strand specifically.
Gordon's Bay I know has no issue.
Just love these videos of Cape Town & surrounds, takes me home everyday - thank you ❤️
Hi guys agree with Sonia beautiful beach the love the old the flea market the metal stalls I used when l did market trading amazing promenade immaculate drone footage stunning. The white sand is so inviting nice and quiet just how I like it the difference when busy crazy love the dune Park golf course top class the blocks of apartments have Spanish vibe to me well done to the building preservation like the boat building the Belgian waffle shop tasty .Sun set beautiful there's a few strands in the UK and one I've been to in Belgium but this tops the lot .myself and my wife when I used to smoke would go through the channel turn left 40k Belgium border and buy cigarettes in a small towns adinkerk on the way we would have waffles along near strand in Belgium thanks for a great video cheerio till the next one
I thought it would be good to show what Strand looks like busy versus quieter, it's quite a contrast! I didn't film in December when it was even crazier on the beach and on Beach Road! 😁🏖️ How cool to read that you've had Belgian waffles in Belgium! These in Strand taste pretty good too. Fluffy and soft and now I'm getting hungry! 🥞 I'm glad you enjoyed the sunset too, it was so peaceful on the beach and a very fitting way to end off our local series. The sunsets are spectacular here in Strand, we often look at them out of a window. We plan to go down to the beach more often and take it all in properly! 🌅 We appreciate you hopping on board for these outings in and around Cape Town. As always, it was great to hear your thoughts and read how it reminded you of your own experiences in our beautiful country!
Strand & Gordons Bay are the best 💕
Beautiful place,thank you. No wonder you are so proud!!🙃🙏💕
What an incredible episode, your drone shots showcasing a totally brand new perspective on viewing the Strand. I saw that chap's stunning sand sculptures the other day as we always swim at that beach. I have to agree there is no beach like the Strand Beach, however one must follow the lifesavers instructions and its best to swim where they are. I saved a little boy a few years ago who didn't want to listen, he was too far out and was then taken under by a wave. Those dunes, where you walked, was our home many times in our yesteryears. Hibernian towers an incredible building. Die Melkbaai is still a firm favorite though. I visited that penthouse in "Ocean View" , it has incredible 360 degree views. You're very fortunate to call Strand your home. The closing scene with your 2 chairs on the beach is priceless in every aspect and I suppose perhaps the best marketing of Strand ever seen. It captures so much. The food looked great at the waffle place. 'N Ice is another Strand institution, a heavy hand with their servings and a strong hand is required to hold the cone packed with ice-cream. Great value for money. Barts...another great institution.
The drone footage was superb!!
@funk dunk I often look at the ocean and think to myself how beautiful and harmless it looks, but that's so not the case. Over the Festive Season, ambulance sirens became too frequent a sound and we always wonder if someone got into trouble while swimming. So I agree, swim where there are lifesavers, they're there for a reason. Good on you for coming to the rescue of the little boy, it could've turned out very differently. 😨 Thank you for highlighting some special buildings and places in Strand. We steered clear of singling out any particular one, other than The Belgian Waffle House where we had lunch, for fear of offending some of our neighbours and fellow residents. It was fantastic to film on Beach Road, but also difficult being so incredibly close to home. What a home though! 😍 Thank you for driving around the Peninsula and surrounds with us, it's been fun, as always!
Fabulous from start to end 🥂
And I'm watching the subscriptions tally as you are so close to 12K - I'll pop the cork of that ready-on-ice Rosé JC le Roux bubbly 🍾 in recognition of your next impressive achievement up the TH-cam ladder of popularity, as soon as it happens 💃🏻
Thank you! 🍾🥂 We decided to give the pink one a try for the sunset and we loved it! 🌅 We're just too happy to be travelling and sharing our memories of our trips with those who enjoy watching them! There is so much beauty everywhere which just has to be shared and we love doing it! The fact that you came along on every outing, meant so much to us and we really appreciate having you on board and being so supportive of our channel. 🚗🌊
Its a beautiful drive down the Beach road. Had to take shots of the beautiful buildings along it!!!👌
Wonderful to see my home . Greenways is a great place to live in strand. Strand Fisheries for best fish. Famila in Gordon's Bay for best Pizza and we have Somerset mall which is a great mall. I love it. Thanks so much. I can't wait to get back sometime this year. Many thanks for a wonderful video
Thank you for sharing your special places in Strand! 🐟🍕 I'm sure there are often days you wish you were back here! Safe travels when you do return to the Helderberg! 🤩🌊 We appreciate you watching!
Aha! Now we see where you guys live. Strand reminds me a lot of Tableview where I lived for a few years. With overtones of Sea Point. You re fortunate to live in such a beautiful area. "Strand is no stranger to wind"...said as you passed a tree absolutely buckled from the force of many a gale!! Was that planned or coincidence? I do love an outdoor gym! Its way better than the smelly indoor ones that are jostling with people fighting for the equipment. And its free! There is no reason not to be fit trim and healthy in Strand!
😁 I thought the timing of Sonia's comment about the wind was quite apt with the poor tree illustrating the point perfectly! 🌳 Very little is ever planned on our channel, so that was pure coincidence! She was driving that day and she didn't notice the tree until I played the clip back to her! Fit and trim and healthy in Strand. I like the sound of that. Sonia and I better set off to Dune Park this very second! 🤸🏻♀️🌊 We so loved having you come along on these outings closer to home and reading how each place holds a special memory for you.
Great series...the videos around Cape Town was amazing
Thank you, we appreciate you driving around the Peninsula and the surrounding towns with us! We had an awesome time! 🚗🌊
The lovely beautiful Strand. I have faint memories of somewhere in the late fifties early sixties our family came by train to the Strand and we picnicked under the old Pavilion. It was on massive columns and we had ample space in the shade. Years after that we camped in the Caravan park but I don not know if that exists any more..it is near thet Greenways estate, which is a beautiful place inside. But the wind can also blow in the Strand...If I remember correctly there was also the White House hotel on one of those corners in Beach road. but ja...we visited the Strand regularly in the years gone by...Thanx for showing us again
Your memory of coming to Strand by train sounds very similar to some of the stories I've heard from my mom-in-law's side of the family! Sadly our station is no longer receiving any trains, but until about two years ago, people came to the beach by train in their droves. All sorted with tents, gazebos, mattresses, you name it! 😁🏖️ The Voortrekker Caravan Park still exists, you must've had fun there too. I always think it's great to camp so close to the beach! I just found a pic online of the White House Hotel, what a gorgeous building that was! It was indeed on a corner and it had a tower on the one side. Your memory serves you just perfectly! 🚗🌊 Thank you for taking these drives with us around our (and your) area, it was fun having you on the backseat!
Yipeee Strand👏👏👏
Got a few goodies from that flea market…..awwww🥰
Loved this other pub/restaurant in the pavilion which has like little balconies where the sea is right under you. Wasn’t brave enough to sit out there for my meal but, rather stayed inside but by a window view! Simply stunning 👌👌👌👌
Brilliant footage Beautiful beach.
We live for these episodes! It brings so much joy to our lives. Thank you so much!
Thank you, that is wonderful to hear! We're happy to bring all these beautiful places to your living room. 🚗🌊
Don't like this channel cos I then just want go gallivant again😂.Thanks for the vids,nice to see the places again.Some I haven't been to in about 40yrs.Keep up the good vids,Love them.
If you haven't been to Strand in 40 years, I'd say it's time you return for a visit. Some gallivanting in Strand sounds like a superb idea to me! 😁 Happy to hear you enjoy our videos. 🚗🌊
Another town that brings back memories --- some good and some not so good -- my parents ended up living here from around 1975 till their passing in the 2000's. Spent many a summer on the beach especially the last 5 years that I was in SAfr before migrating. Lived up in Heldervue Somerset West - Acacia Ave - Siblings still live in the area.- Thanks again
Very impressive buildings - I`m just wondering if the vehicle goes where the camera is pointing .....would we see as much ?😀😀😀
There are indeed some pretty amazing buildings on Beach Road! I really struggle with a mounted camera. I'm so used to poking my nose in every direction and moving without any restriction. 😁🌊
Such a lovely video! I absolutely enjoyed the drive you took us on in this one. Great to see the comparison between the holiday season and when everything is back to normal. Your Cape Town series was incredible and I look forward to seeing where you take us all next.
Thank you, I'm so happy to hear that you enjoyed driving around the Peninsula and surrounding area with us. It was different, but great fun and the beauty abounds! 🌳⛰️ You don't have too long to wait until you see where we were headed to next, all will be revealed in the next episode! 😁🚗
Beautiful Strand Beach👌👌👌👌
Hi you guys I agree with you. Was born and grew up in Strand. That jetty was still beautiful then. Sad to see it now😢 Thanks for sharing😊
What a beautiful place. Such fantastic beaches. You are lucky to live in the Strand. The roads are in such good condition in so many areas of the Cape. No potholes. I can't believe it and the roadsides are so well kept and clean. Wish we'd rather migrated to the Cape than to KZN from "Gangsters Paradise ". Go safe go well.
Beautiful sunset yhoooooo 👌👌👌👌
So happy to see this. I have stayed in Greenways Golf Estates for the last 25 years off and on.
I plan to retire there.
I lived there for eight years from 2010 till 2019 wanna go back someday
I really enjoy watching your videos and reading all the super positive comments from your viewers. Your format is just awesome. I like watching road trip videos around the world.
Thank you, happy to hear you enjoy watching our videos! I also enjoy reading the comments from our viewers! They always share such interesting recollections of and facts about places! 😁 Road trips are just fantastic! You can look forward to new episodes of our latest trip very soon! I hope you enjoy those just as much! 🚗🇿🇦
Thanks for these Cape postings, appreciated by the Captetonian diaspora.. Last time I was on Strand Beach was exactly 60 years ago, varsity vacation holiday job, beach photographer with a revolutionary Polaroid camera, instant photos, Revolutionary . Not a high rise building in sight. Jim in NZ.
Greetings to you in NZ! I'm super happy to hear you enjoy our videos, thank you! Yup, I can only imagine what it must've looked like 60 years ago! I've seen some old pics of when there were very few multi-level properties on Beach Road. What a difference a few years make! Your customers must've stood in line to be photographed with that state-of-the-art camera, love that story! 🏖️📷
My dad sent me to the jetty to buy a snoek for one shilling. Great days. Thanks guys i enjoyed it so much to see home on my screen. Well done like always
One shilling! I haven't heard that in a long, long time! I just had to include the jetty because I'd like to see it again one day when I look back on all our trips and watch our videos. It probably will not be there for very much longer, which is sad. It's such an intricate part of Strand! I'm glad you enjoyed home through our eyes! 🚗🏖️ Thank you so much for always being so positive about our videos, we so appreciate having you on board!
The jetty was still there but falling apart, now its in bits😮
Great drone shots!!
Thanks, appreciate that! 👌😎
I am talking about 50 years ago, we as kids, used to walk past Friedman & Cohen En route to the beach. So hearing your wife talk about Cohen being the oldest shop, wow! My Mother was wondering if the jetty still existed. And then the pavilion. Thank you again for this lovely episode. It really makes me want to go back there. ❤️
I'm glad we could answer some of your mom's questions about the jetty and the Pavilion, although I'm sure both look a tad different from what you both remember. 😏 When we first got to know Strand exactly 30 years ago this year, we often had meals at Friedman & Cohen and it was always great. We used to love walking through the different departments, they've always had a wonderful selection of items there. We don't go as frequently as back then.You should come back and pay this wonderful town a visit sometime. You'll love it as much as you did way back when! 🤩🌊
I know I am going to enjoy watching this one tonight. I am so sentimental about the Strand. My Mother lived in the house in the Main Road, no 144. I remember childhood holidays there, and walking down to the beach as children. All the old shops. Can't wait to watch tonight. I love all your videos. Thank you!
Thank you, we're glad to hear that you enjoy our videos, we hope you find this one extra special! We're just as sentimental as you about Strand. Most, if not all, of the houses on Main Road have been converted into shops and offices now. We focused on Beach Road because that is the heartbeat of Strand as far as we're concerned. 🚗🌊
@@DustBugsTravel Yes, I have heard. According to Google, that house was obviously broken down and it is now a Service Station.
Beautiful souls.You say Strand is your last?Noo.Your visits are so
educational and informative about our o
We live in Strand, so it was our last episode of our 'Closer to Home' series. We've made many more episodes since and will continue to do so! 🚙😁
They have this same concept of a free and open gym in Lanzarote!!!
This was so nice shows how much you appreciate your surroundings. Whats not to love with the sea right on your doorstep, Thats so awesome, that beach that stretches for miles is so lovely. I really enjoyed the quiet time of the year. Well done loved the sunset it was beautiful.
We enjoy the busy time of year, but are also very happy that it only lasts a few weeks and then it's all quiet again! We were happy to share our hometown with you, thank you for coming along on all the outings around the fairest Cape! 😍🚗
Like the West Pier in Brighton UK the jetty is slowly being claimed by the sea!!!
That skew Minotokka tree at 2:05 is more than 50 years old. Far older than the neighbouring palm trees.
❤❤❤
😍🚙
What a beautiful beach! I live in a little resort town on the shores of Lake Huron in Canada and it is the same thing during vacation season. Crazy busy for June, July and August. After the Labour Day weekend at the beginning of September, you could shoot a cannon down the main street.
I can only imagine how crazy it must get where you live, such a beautiful area too! 😍 And then the calm afterwards. I enjoy both equally, but am glad that the ratio of calm versus crazy is what it is! 😁 We lived in the US for a number of years and I remember how super busy everything got in summer. We spent the majority of our time in South Florida, which has fantastic weather all the time, but even there one could feel the holiday vibe in summer more than any other time of year! 🌊🏖️
Nice to travel with you through my home town. Where are the days my dad sent me to
Glad we could show you the town you and we live in, it remains a very special place and very dear to our hearts! 😍🌊
Hello.. This video was amazing.. The before and after season spike...i really missed those drone shot.. Your ending of the video was en epic one not gonna lie.. I was so jealous 😅... Ending it all on the beach. 🏖️
Hello to you! Thank you for visiting all these beautiful places around Cape Town with us, it's always great when you join us! And we just had to end it at home, it really was a super special evening. 🥂🌅
I went to school in Strand. It was loverly to see it again. But don't see any dogs on the beach.
It's also been my home town for the past 38 years! Seen many multistory monstrosities going up on the beachfront during this time, but that's how development works, doesn't it. Hopefully you didn't send the drone up during a howling south-easter, otherwise you'd had to go look for it in Fishhoek!! :)
Hello neighbour! Wowzer! You've lived here for a long, long time! You must've seen each one of those buildings go up on Beach Road, that must've been quite a sight to see the landscape change in front of your eyes. I'm all for development and progress, as long as nature and all the living organisms that depend on it for survival, isn't compromised. Therein lies my difficulty with development. 🤷🏼♂️ I made a few attempts with the drone on really hectic days over the festive season but wasn't successful. One reason was the wind and another the youngsters' keen interest in the drone, so I wasn't able to pay the attention that I still need to as a fairly new drone pilot. 😁
CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG PLEASE BUT I SEEM TO REMEMBER THE PAVILLION BEING BUILT IN THE. 1960 OR 1970. MY HUSBAND AND I MOVED TO JHB A MONTH OR TWO AFTER WE GOT MARRIED AND LIVED THERE FOR 3 YRS, WHEN WE MOVED BACK TO CAPE TOWN WE WERE PLEASENTLY SIRPRISED TO SEE THE NEW BUILDING IN THE STRAND. WAS A BEAUTIFUL BUILDING. BD
I think the first Pavilion was built way before then already. The earliest aerial photo I've seen with the Pavilion on, dates back to 1951. My mom-in-law spoke about the Pavilion in Strand when they came on holiday in their younger years, but I'm not sure when it was first built. Perhaps it was modernised around the time you remember. 🤷🏻♂️
Het vir 5 jaar in De Aar gebly vanaf 1990 - 1994. Hartseer om te sien hoe die pragtige dorp verval het. 😢
“We saved the best for last”. Oef Curtis je liet me even schrikken aan het begin van deze video, het laatste filmpje van DustBugs? Maar gelukkig, aan het einde verscheen het vertrouwde “see you in the next episode” 😅. Ben benieuwd waar naartoe jullie ons verder mee ‘op reis’ nemen door het prachtige Zuid Afrika.
😁 We're not going anywhere! Except perhaps to places we haven't been to before and you'll see very shortly where we went after our outings around Cape Town. I hope you enjoy all the upcoming episodes as much as the ones up to now. We so appreciate having you on the road with us! 🚗🇿🇦
Stunning, thanks once again, must admit I love holiday season when our city is packed with holiday makers, just an awesome vibe, also nice when they return home though . Do the vendors @ the flea market sleep over or do a daily pack up ? You guys are super stars
We're exactly the same! We love it when the holidaymakers are around, but also appreciate the quieter times. That's all part-and-parcel of living in a holiday town! 🏖️ The vendors at the market pack up their entire operations each evening and wheel it all away on big carts. The route they take, is through quite a narrow street right next to a pizza shop, so they have to do some nifty navigating to get where they're going. 😳 Thank you for tagging along to the beautiful places close to our hometown, it was fun having you on board! 🚗🌊
@@DustBugsTravel Thanks for all the travels & the update of the vendors. Makes one how fortunate we are, that's a lot of work. Till next time. Cant WAIT🙏
Baie nuuskierg oor waar jy ons volgende keer heen gaan vat, maar die Kaapse roete was so ongelooflik mooi.
I'm glad you enjoyed these outings closer to home! I won't keep you in suspense for too much longer about where we were headed next! 🚗🤩
We've already watched two episodes of your new trip! Looking forward to everyone.
I have many fond memories of taking my kids to Strand beach. Thank you guys for sharing your hometown with us. Ps. love the drone footage👋👌
Oh, yes! Those memories must be extra special. Kids do have such a fun time on Strand beach! ⛱️ I'm so happy you enjoyed the drone footage, thank you! 🌊🚗
We watched this over lunch today and it brought back good memories! The jetty was still fully functional when I was at Lochnerhof; pity that they're not restoring it! Are there still so many seagulls at the end of the beach (last time I was there it was fenced off and the area was sometimes used to test explosives).
Our hometown! 😍 I'm glad you were reminded of good times! There are still plenty of seagulls on the beach, which is fantastic! During lockdown in 2020 they briefly got the beach back all to themselves and there wasn't a single human being in sight! 🦆🌊
WOW! Do you have any footage of that? I'm big time into birding and often go out to photograph birds here in Hong Kong. Hopefully, I can get some action shots of the seagulls in Nov!@@DustBugsTravel
I have a few stills, but they were far away and, since I was also not allowed closer, I didn't take any video footage. 🤷🏻♂️ I'm not sure I would've disturbed them either, they were having a ball! 😎
Bestaan die de villiers hotel nog in die strand.
I'm not familiar with the name at all, it was most probably a casualty of development. 😏🤷🏼♂️
Goeie dag, dankie vir die oulike en mooi videos, dit bring kinderjare se herinneringe weer op... seker 'n dom vraag, maar bestaan die voortrekker karavaan park nog? Ons het elke jaar daar gekamp van 1985 tot 2000 in die goeie ou kinderjare...
Thank you for watching our video of our hometown, I'm happy to hear you enjoyed it! 😍🏖️ Voortrekker Caravan Park indeed still exists and have camping facilities and chalets available. You must've had some fun times there, it's an institution in Strand! 🚙🏕️
I still think Gordons bay is tops for me. Sorry Guys.
Me too
@Kosie Van Den Berg No worries at all! 😁 GB is still part of the Helderberg trilogy, so all good with us! 🚗🌊
