  • It was very hard to leave behind the white sands of the beach at Yzerfontein, but we had to make our way to the West Coast National Park. We hadn’t been there for many years and were super excited to see it again! What a welcome we had! A tortoise right at the entrance gate and six more within the next 3 kilometres. Abrahams Bird Hide was an interesting stop. The amazing colour of the lagoon in the park was brilliant to see. Then of course we had to get back to the little cottage on the rock with so much history. Make sure you watch to the end! #DustBugs #adventuretravel #southafrica #westcoastnationalpark

    Hey guys... I often see you wondering if it's a Blesbk or Bontebok. Easy actually, the Bontebok always has white legs. 😊

    Cool to see more tortoises! Also more fynbos! I've never been there but I already like this biome.
    At 4:31... is that a guineafowl?
    9:18 - that looks like a bontebok to me as well. But belsbok and bontebok do look similar.

      This is another incredibly beautiful part of our country. I love the vegetation too and the proximity to the ocean just adds to the attraction! 🌊 My thought is that it was a guineafowl, but we're no experts in birding, so I can't guarantee! I'm glad you also have difficulty sometimes distinguishing between bontebok and blesbok. I have a hard time with that, especially when they're so far away. 🐐 We appreciate you catching up on some of our old videos! 👌🏻🚗

    You folk have been doing this for many years, if this is a place you visited in 1997. No children?

      We've shared a love for travelling and especially our National Parks and wildlife from the beginning and have always been on the road one way or another. We weren't blessed with human children, no. We lived in the US for a period of time and moved back to SA with four fantastic feline children, so we couldn't travel extensively for a period of about 15 years while we had them. Now the nest is empty once more and we're back on the road. Super happy to have you along! 😁🚗

      @@DustBugsTravel He always had a plan and a reason. He blessed you with each other, and us, the DustBugs community, with you. Like us we spent all our money on educating and getting our two boys 46 & 43 on their way to independence. You I am guessing were an artisan, because you use expressions and words I do, and Sonja sounds like a teacher.

      Never underestimate the value you brought to your sons' lives. There are times we wish we had children too, but it was not meant to be. You're certainly not far off! I was indeed an artisan for many years and now a real estate agent, as is my darling wife. She did work in private schools for a number of years, but on the admin and public relations side. She never taught as such. Communication is her speciality, she certainly has the gift of the gab and I'm the pragmatic one. There you have our whole story! 😁👌
