    So cute when you said you always wanted to bring Craig to Lovers Lane for a big fat kiss, so sweet! Pleased you finally did, what a cool nostalgic video for you to create. During the pandemic Craig and I went to visit our old uni (where we met) and it's so fun but makes you feel so old too!

    I absolutely love you talking Afrikaans and all the African names, did you know Huis Ten Bosch is a palace of our former Queen? (Her son is our King now). Very funny to see this old familiair dutch stuff in the country we love so dearly.

      There’s such a huge Dutch influence here in SA, especially in our Afrikaans culture…I’m sure you know ☺️

    The Sport's Centre is quite nice. The Spanish team stayed there during the World Cup. And an airport was built for them. They complained that the poor road conditions- I guess from Johannesburg to Potch was ruining their bus.

    • @BeingBedingfield
      @BeingBedingfield  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      The roads weren’t great, but nothing worse than here in KZN 😅🙈
      I studied Sport Science, and the sport centre only got completed the year after I finished, so I never got to see it 😭

      It was towards the end of exams on a Saturday afternoon. Campus was very quiet, most students have gone home or busy studying for their last few exams. It was a lot easier to film on campus with less students around at least 😅
