- Exploring Port Elizabeth (Gqeberha), South Africa!
We finished our road trip over South Africa in Port Elizabeth, officially renamed Gqeberha. We enjoy our remaining moments getting quality time with family, relaxing on the beach, and celebrating with drinks and delicious food! We say a sad goodbye to Tommy's parents and fly out of South Africa on a very long travel day to our next destination Chiang Mai, Thailand.
We hope that you guys have enjoyed our South African travel series! If you liked this video, give it a 'thumbs up' and leave us a comment down below! It helps our channel grow and we appreciate it 💜

This is so awesome to see, I am born and breed in Port Elizabeth and still here...quite surreal seeing Port Elizabeth as part of your trip...most travellers skip Port Elizabeth, its always Cape Town, Durban etc... Glad you enjoyed your stay in South Africa

Was so cool to see you guys go to the places I always go to in Port Elizabeth since I go to university there!

Port Elizabeth is such an underrated city in SA ❤️
💯 but all of SA is way underrated 😍
So true!
They called it the armpit of SA😡
This hurts my heart 🥺
Coachmans is one of best restaurants in Pe. I love my city. Come back anytime

Next time you come to PE, go to Muse Restaurant in stanley street, best food ever. Stanley street is a strip of just restaurants. All kind, fine dining, Mexican food, chinese, bars the works.
Sounds good! Appreciate the recommendation Kayleigh 👊 Thanks for watching!
I visited Port Elizabeth in 2019. So nice.
It's a special place! Thanks for watching!

“The universe is in the habit of making beauty. There are flowers and songs, snowflakes and smiles, acts of great courage, laughter between friends, a job well done, the smell of fresh baked bread. Beauty is everywhere.”
- Matthew Fox
Glad you enjoyed the views! Thanks for watching!
I walked at that same spot few days ago. And I just knew you would go to Coachman or De Kelder. I just wasn't sure 😉 it looks like you had a great time here. Happy travels!
Glad we made a good choice 👍 We loved our time there and can’t wait to get back!
What a beautiful city!
Watookal
💯!!!
My home town, glad to see you guys came out safe. Well done comrades.
Thank you for watching! We loved your hometown!
Aw I miss my hometown. Been living in Europe the last 3 years and been travelling for 5 years before then. Grew up going to Kings beach on the weekends and spent many a great night at the old Brookes Pavillion. I miss home!
We can see why you would miss it 😍 Sounds like you need to try and make it back more often 😉
Hope you enjoyed our beautiful city
Hope to see you soon
There is more beautiful places to visit
We will be back no doubt 💯 We loved our short time there! Thanks for watching!
All beautiful
🤗🌸💜
Beautiful at Brookes,😍😍
It really is!
Thanks for excellent video of my home town
Our pleasure 🍻
A city with a 'small town' feel. Friendly people, the energy is quite serene... and I'm from laid back Cape town..🤙.
Hello 👋 Lance from Cape Town! It is such a wonderful city! We really enjoyed our short time there!
@@SammyandTommy I hope to visit Quebertha and the whole east coast leading up to it in 2022. I qualified as a Cultural tour guide two months before Covid arrived, ya.. 'ol Murphy'. Worldwide travel is picking up nicely so hopefully 2022 will be awesome. Safe travels your side.. enjoy Thailand.
@@lanceelliott1145 that would be an amazing trip. we live in PE, and have travelled up to Transkei and still there is endless exploration to be done., will you be Youtubing your travels? we would love to see :) - Living Lighter with Dean and Kerry
@@livinglighter1931 I'm not much of a videographer but you never know.. ☺
@@lanceelliott1145 neither am I but here I am 😅 it's so amazing to look back on memories through video just tonight we were watching our video's from a year ago and feeling all emotional about this journey called life.
Oh my SA my beautiful holiday destination looks better than ever.
It was 😍 Thanks for watching!
My hometown P.e love it😍
We do too 😍
So nice that you visited my hometown
You're lucky to call it your hometown! We loved our time there!
Assalaam Mu Alaikum it was good to expose how beautifull Port Elizabeth is n the whole of South Africa has besutifull beaches.. I am glad you enjoyed your holiday... Allah bless you 's.....
We really had such a great time! Such a beautiful area 😍 Thanks for watching!
My hometown ❤️
Lucky you! Thanks for watching 👊
Geez plenty of swell in the bay the day you where filming, 🤙yeeeeeewwww
Got lucky to capture some surfers! Thanks for watching 👊
Excellent
The P E of Port Elizabeth stand for Paradise Estates! Thank you for visiting 🌹
We can definitely see why 😍 Thanks for comment and for watching 👊
Please note that the town is called Gqeberha .
@@philipbanda6637 paradise Estates by any name 🙄
I am pretty sure the PE stands for Port Elizabeth 🤣
@@kayleightuck for tourists and for those who prefer main stream entertainment, for sure yes. For some of us who live here and know the secret beaches, where to easiest spot a lion or observe elephants, enjoy secret sunrises floating around in a secluded rock pool, dine under the stars away from the crowd, know the best dune on which to have a quiet sunset on... We slang this big dorp Gqeberha, formerly known as Port Elizabeth, PE, pronounced PeeeEeee.
Paradise Estates. 😉
Hi loved your informative videos. Want to visit SA as well with my parents in law, kid and husband. Planning for end May - early June trip. What was your month of visit?
Heyyy, my home town ❤️ so weird seeing it from other people's perspectives x
Lucky you! Hope you enjoyed the video 🍻
I'm guessing right now about your next series maybe it's Egypt Indonesia or Singapore china or oustralia just like that I'm guessing anyway I'm also saying goodbye to South African series with you sammy and Tommy love you❤ both of you guys all the best for your bright future thanks sammy for this amazing and wonderful last video about South Africa
Thanks for the guesses Sajve! Let's hope we get to all of those countries 🤞
@@SammyandTommy inshallah Or God willing I hope too like that thanks Sammy for this wonderful✨😍 video
Port Elizabeth is but a shadow of it's former self. The heart of the city has seen a gradual decline into criminality, dilapidation and general filth and decay. It has accelerated in the last year or so. The Donkin Reserve is covered in weeds, the paving bricks around it are being pulled up for various uses, like leaving in the road or football goalposts and there is rubbish piling up in the shrubs and along the stairs. There are bottles lying everywhere on the slopes. Govan Mbeki/Uitenhage Road is descending into dilapidation and filth week by week. If only people could see what this city used to look like. It has so much potential with the surrounding attractions both east and West and a waterfront that could be developed into something special, IF it could be wrestled away from Transnet. The once picturesque Central and St George's Park are probably beyond repair though with the damage done.
We love you 🇿🇦
Thanks you 💜
Beautiful guys that's my home town I use to work at beershack
That's awesome! Thanks for sharing Nomzie! We loved your hometown 😍

No the parents were heading back to the States and we were continuing to travel! How did the airplane fall off? 😂 That’s crazy!
