I've been in SA now for 44 years as an expat from England, I would never consider going back, I'm a proud South African and always marvel at the beauty and hospitality of this truly amazing country
@@WAWACreations I know how you feel. I left in the eighties, but just had to come back. So I did in the early nineties. Cape Town gets under your skin somehow. Now my adult children are planning to leave and I hope they don't regret it.
I might not get an answer after more than 1 year but I was wondering how "famous" or favoured the Scarborough Beach is for Cape-Town residents? So far I've been two times in RSA for in total almost 9 weeks and besides Nature Valley down in Plettenberg Bay, I haven't seen any beach that comes close to Scarborough when it comes to sundown during rough winds and the pure power of the ocean.....such a breathtaking experience!!
I can say as a Capetonian who cycles the peninsula and mountain bikes on a weekly basis - we never get used to the beauty of the Cape! Every single time we ooh and aah and take photos like it’s the first time. I’ve been around the world, it’s a beautiful planet, but the Cape truly is special and living here is an incredible privilege!
Noraly, I'm sure that you would be an amazing producer of travel documentaries for television, etc. Your skills with cameras, drones, editing, music and commentary are world class. And all done in such a short time each day. You're a gifted, talented woman.
I thought the exact same thing. 👏👏😁♥️ I had total chills as the drone lifted. What a view. And then I said, wait.. Noraly's filming as she rides. Just WOW! I send love out to everyone. Remarkable time to be alive. Giving thanks.
The editing of the two riding sequences was some of your best. Spot on. Congratulations for constantly improving your work and doing your homework in order to tell good stories. Gone are the days of the one camera motovlog peppered with cursing. Yours is quality content
After “Cape Agulhas”, you now got “Bartolomeu Dias” perfectly pronounced... Are you sure you’re not half-PORTUGUESE already...?! 🤔🧐👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 You will be for sure, when you come visit PORTO, because then you’ll be adopted by my daughter, and become part of the familly.... Filipa is eight years old, and loves nothing more than comming back from school riding pilion on our Triumph-maharani, wearing her Itchy Boots’ neck scarf We cant wait for you visit... no AIRBNB needed for that future stage 😊✌🏼🙏🏼 Cheers and best regards from Portugal 🇵🇹 Stay safe, have fun, take care, keep on riding and sharing please...
Your time here is a precious documentation of humanity. You are a prime example of empathy and a archetype of science and adventure. I appreciate your attention to history, and your ability to get up each day despite hardships on travels.
@@TheAncientBiker Why would that person be a Brexit voter or a Brit as you put it. What was the point of such a stupid remark. Obviously that person has not seen the videos of itchy half frozen to death crossing mountain tops alone. Strange to ramble on about a holiday ,however itchy does what she loves and entertains thousands . In normal circumstances the Brexit vote would have been to close to call. The Lisbon treaty meant that the money people would leave by any means . What is so great about the EU anyway ? Just curious ...... Thousands of illegals camped around northern France trying to get to England seem to think it is a hell hole . By the way , your name is English. Maybe British as in Brit.
@@keen2b Itchy , likes to travel. She is hard working , with empathy by the bucket load , entertaining, educational and an inspiration to many. She may make money from the videos and good luck to her. However she certainly earns her money ,and provides hundreds of thousands of people with a view on the world that we would not normally see. If you think it is just a holiday and not a test of her physical and mental strength. Then please try riding a motorcycle across the Frozen mountain tops that she has crossed. This young lady has the courage of a lioness , and determination that some can only dream of . She is a fine example of a human being and one that any father or mother would love to claim as their own. If you can not see the good that she does ,I pity you. Not everyone can do what she does and does so well. However thousands can see what she sees via her camera lens ,and for a moment be their with her. Instead of living in lockdown. Surely that is worth praising ?
I guess the saying .."beauty is in the eyes of the beholder" applies here, cause I'm just not seeing anything about the scenery in South Africa that appeals to me. The benefit of these types of video journeys for me, is to eliminate countries from my bucket list. There are so many other more scenic, beautiful, safe and interesting countries in the world- in my opinion.
Been following ItchyBoots for a while now. I am genuinely shocked at the natural beauty of South Africa. Although, many decades ago I worked with a fella who had been in the merchant navy and sailed the world several times. He said the most beautiful place he had seen was the coastline around Durban.
South Africa is a beautiful country! One thing I noticed is how "clean" this country is. Roads and bridges are taken care of, etc. Thank you for sharing!
You have not seen some of the badly run parts of the country yet. Go to her episode 6 of season 5 and you will get a glimps of the corruption with the improvement of that dam wall. The Cape is getting the vote year after year for the best run province, Reason being they are not run by the governing political party as the other provinces are.
As as expected the replies to this comments are filled with "it's because it's not run by the new government 😡👍 I miss 1990" while not mentioning that this province has the biggest slums in SA with the party in charge of the province prioritizing rich white neighborhoods than the majority "coloured " neighborhoods
@@lorenzoditrall2158 The social problems there are beacuse the infrasructure coukd not handle the influx of people. I once saw the Police numbers of how many illegal iimmegranrs alone are moving to tne greater Cape Town area, it is crazy. Everyone and their dogs want to get away drom the ANC and live in the Cape Town area
This trip has turned out to be a pleasant surprise for me. You have not only managed to assuage my initial fears about traveling backroads in S.A. but you have introduced me to a truly beautiful country. I want to visit.
@@roblucci2366 Exactly. Actually the back roads are the safest. It is the roads near concentrations of people in townships, near large cities, that is best avoided. Away from large cities, is where there is less crime. On this video Noraly was playing in my “back garden”, riding the roads in the “deep south” of the Cape Peninsula, very safe.
Production values of this TH-cam channel are second to none. While not certain, from what I’ve gathered from Noraly’s comments, she’s a one woman production shop - which is incredibly impressive. These episodes could be put on the Travel Channel untouched and no one would know this is done by one person, a couple cameras, a drone and a laptop. Just amazing!
I should point out (as a Portuguese person): Diaz named it Cape of Storms. Sadly on his second attempt to round this Cape, his ship sank and he drowned. It was Vasco De Gama another Portuguese sailor who succeeded rounding the Cape and finally establishing the Sea Spice route who called it "Cape of Good Hope". Oh and your pronunciation of Agulhas is actually very good (almost accurate). . . . When I was in the Cape - I ate what I thought was the best tasting sea food ever (I have eaten seafood in many parts of the world). I think it has something to do with cold water seafood vs warm water sea food (The Cape is cold water). . . Thank you Noraly.
Another stunner!!! I’ve never visited the African continent or had serious plans to go, but now all that has changed! It’s shot up towards the top of my long list of travel sites that are musts! I almost feel like I’ve been there watching your incredible footage ❤️
Your South Africa season has been amazing. I went to Cape Town for work 2 years back and stayed there for 3 months. I absolutely loved the place. But now after watching the complete season I am eager to go back and explore more of the beautiful Africa 🇿🇦
One of your best yet! The Cape and Table Mountain held some of the best scenery you've been through ever. The flying Dutchwoman definitely has drone skills.Thank you!
@@BrassLock exactly that's why Australian research stations started using tuli cattle from Zimbabwe because they were best suited for Australian climate and terrain. Every time I watch a video of the Australian outback I always remark to my wife how similar it is to South Africa and Zimbabwe
I never imagined that South Africa could be so beautiful, you are an outstanding camerawoman! You know very well how to make us dream. Thank you very much Noraly
ItchyBoots videography skills are so sharp, the music so fitting, WOW such a pleasure watching this TH-cam channel grow. Well done Young Lady, massive 🎩-Tip. BIG 👍🏼
Off-road biking dutch lady and the flying Dutchman must be relatives! The flying Dutchman haunts the seven seas..... The biking Dutchlady haunts the continents of the planet ... Both are legendary!
I like & watch all Noraly's videos, and appreciate how she makes her living, but the "gushing" that goes on here sometimes does make me laugh sometimes....🤣 Yes I agree Banshan. But I'm sure you're an amazing human being too!👍
Emotional and homesick again. The tail end of the video, over Ou Kaapse Weg, heads down to Tokai, where my home is situated. I cycled that coastline many times. There is an annual one day charity cycling event in March called the Cape Argus cycle tour, involving over 35,000 cyclists. You mentioned the recent fire on Table Mountain. It destroyed the library of my old University and many valuable documents. Thanks for such positive coverage.
Wow, what a beautiful journey you've taken us on! Your skill at using the tracking drone shots, and your research of the history of each place is compelling. Seeing the world through your eyes as an epic world traveler is gift to us!
Well edited, and very enjoyable to watch. We visited there in 2018 in the same areas, wonderful sea food...sadly it looks very quiet now in the Pandemic. I do hope the economy of South Africa will rebound for the business owners in the future.
As a South African and long time resident of Cape Town i must say i felt in familiar territory when i spent a few years in California...many similarities !
Only for Noraly; a private cable car with operator, low lying clouds on the Cape, and a stunning opportunity to possibly catch a glimpse of the Flying Dutchman! What a wonderful adventure! Ride safe Noraly!
Flying Dutchman ... Riding Dutch Girl has come looking for you. Such a wonderful tour. Always love your narration of all interesting facts. Thanks and God bless you.
You really are a one woman video production company, the quality of that was amazing, such stunning scenery (even in GoPro 2D). I'm glad you took your time to enjoy it, and thanks for sharing it with us.
Yay! It is time for the Itchy Boot’s South Africa edition! Can’t wait to see what adventures she’s up to today in Cape Town. I bet it’s going to be great!
Oh wow! You weren't scared to fly your drone with these low clouds to present us these magnificent views, awesome! I am soo much enjoying your adventures in Africa, thank you for that Noraly!
I am really enjoying being on this journey through my country of berth with you. Living in Perth now for the past 12 years and one forgets the beauty of South Africa. You capture it perfectly and your videography captures the essence of the landscape beautifully. Love your work!
I see you already found Chapman’s peak. While you are on the west coast, book a table at die strandloper. It’s an incredible experience, amazing food and great views.
I live in Eastern Cape, Jeffreys bay. I still cry when I see shows like this. Been here for 2 years and still mayor thankful for the awesome privilege of being part of such beautiful surroundings 😍💖
I hope Noraly gets to see more of the wonderful things our city has to offer. Perhaps once or twice she will have to leave her bike behind so as to walk on the mountain or on the beach. Also I hope she notices the bikers' greeting to each other on the road, given by a nod of the head. We're a friendly bunch and acknowledge each other.
Miss Noraly there are not many folks who could pull this type of adventure off to an epic level as you have done you should get some kind of TH-cam Emmy you are a very special person to pull off what you encounter on a daily basis ThankYou So Much
It's strange to say this, because ALL your videos are phenomenonal, but this one in particular is possibly one of your best. The drone footage, your fanastic commentary, the views, the edit. Just pure art. Sometimes I forget I'm watching an independant travel blog, i feel like Im watching a professionally made travel show. You are an absolute joy Noraly. And how was that scene from the seafood restaurant!!!? 😱😍👌🌊
You should have gone to Boulders Beach to show the penguin colony. It’s very accessible, the beach sand is spectacular, the water is crystal clear and for the small fee (which pays for the upkeep of the facilities and protection of the birds) you would attract more viewers and see something really special. It’s unlike anything you’ve ever seen.
Yes, I wondered too she didn't go there when she was in Simon's Town, have been there in 2005, it was really stunning. But anyway, it was a really nice episode, Cape Point and all the way down there, wow!
@@m.rabbetts4998 Agree 100% . If she could have gone to the beach at Betty's bay it would have been better, but she understandably could not leave her personal stuff unattended. Boulders beach is tbe best
Boulders isn't your typical penguin colony. Noraly could lock her helmet to the bike, or - for a euro - just one euro - ask one of the many unemployed guys who are in every car park in the country, to watch the bike for her while she looks around.
Oh my God Noralee! The scenery is epic! The music is perfectly epic to go with the majestic scenery. I love what you are able to capture and share with us (the world 🌎). I also extremely enjoy your energy (attitude) towards whatever you encounter. Your enthusiasm and appreciation for nature and the wildlife is infectious and a joy . Ride on girlfriend! My sincere gratitude and appreciation is with you.
I just love watching you enjoy the city I’ve lived in most of my life. As you have found, the Cape is capricious, only displaying its beauty in glimpses. Enjoy, along with the rest of South Africa.
There are so many places to visit in and around Cape Town. Have fun Noraly. You are making loads of people very envious! :) If you hang around long enough in Cape Town, you can visit Namaqualand up the west coast to see the sea of flowers. Hope you got to visit Lambert's Bay for the crayfish festival at the end of April. Also much more local to Cape Town, the Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens. For a good lunch ... go to The Brass Bell in Kalk Bay ... it is on the way back towards Cape Town suburbs from Simon's Town.
First and foremost N, MIND BLOWING DRONE SHOTS! 🤯🤯 Misty or not it's JUST SPECTACULAR! So far one of the most amazing, beautiful and stupendous episodes in Season 5. I am so ecstatic and overjoyed that you brought us here and shared the history and the myths. I personally will never get to travel here and I'm extremely grateful. You are one of the most amazing individuals that I have the pleasure and privilege to know. Noraly can you share what those zigzag lines are on the side and middle of the road? Thanks in advance. Take care and ride safe. 🖖🏽🤟🏽🇨🇦
Noraly, I know every single road you travelled today! When you were at the small car park overlooking Hout Bay, it reminded me how I pargaglided from Silvermine down onto Hout Bay Beach. The take off is basically way above Chapmans Peak Drive. This episode brought so many memories back. Thanks so much.
Paul Seymour, you have a beautiful playground. Reminds me somewhat of the North coast of Spain, though much bigger cliffs. Did I mention my nephew lives in the Capetown area?
Quality video once again from Noraly. Yeah thumbs up after about 20 seconds. I was reminded of visiting Cape Point about 20 years ago (i'm quite old now). I tried to get a photo of Mrs SurferDude standing by a sign that said "beware of Cobras". Her reaction was strangely negative. Some people eh? No spirit of adventure.
Thank God it's Wednesday, started refreshing from 15h30 just hoping your vid may be early. Your footage and editing just seems the get better at a exponential rate. Thank you for showing my country in such a good light.
With this episode you remind me of the most remarkable day of my life: Joanna and I caught Haleakala Crater one day when the peak was clear, we drove to the summit, parked, descended into the crater, walked across it, and climbed to the opposite rim where we got to see clouds rolling into the crater through a breach in the crater wall. Darkness by then: I thumbed a ride back to the summit with an astronomer who was headed up to the observatory, got the rental car, and drove back down to rejoin Joanna. 51 years ago.
She approached the route anti clock wise instead of clockwise. Had she done it the other way round most if the fog/clouds hat you saw filling that bay area (called Houtbay) would have been gone when she got there
Wow Its amazing you're here in the Mother City. I discovered your amazing videos just yesterday and am enjoying them so much. They instantly became my favorite travel vlogs. Enjoy your stay here.
Both my visits to Cape Point were crowded ones. No social distancing on the funicular up. But a magical vista indeed. I spotted the post with signs showing how far it was to major cities. That proves you are truly at one of the ends of the earth when standing there. I hope to make another visit, but thanks for showing it. Your video of the trip down was well done, but if anyone takes it they realize how impossible it is to show all the beauty. Fine times indeed.

Who else clicks on the thumbs up during the first 20 seconds of Noraly's videos!
Without watching a minute of it
If she posts -> thumbs up. I use the thumbing to watch it later.
Yeah, you know it's already programmed to me lol
I guess I should have said...who gives a "big thumbs up" within the first 20 seconds :)
I always feel like am cheating if I don't. It is my kind of self imposed permission to watch her video contents. 😜
The Flying Dutchman may be a ghost ship in the fog, but the Flying Dutchwoman is real.
Yes a vliegende nederlandse or vlieënde Nederlandse vrou eh?
😂😂👌👌👌✌️
Apt comment 😃👌👌👌
Well said.👍
I worry that if she keeps riding no dirt roads with one hand, she will be the flying Dutchwoman
I've been in SA now for 44 years as an expat from England, I would never consider going back, I'm a proud South African and always marvel at the beauty and hospitality of this truly amazing country
Sometimes you have to see your hometown through some one else’s eyes to realise how blessed we are to live in Cape Town.
I wish I never left.
You are fortunate!

Indeed Noraly is a gifted pilot and rider!
She cold make a vid of just her drone shots around the world...
Noraly is the only one who can fly and ride at the same time😀
As a South African I am very impressed with the accuracy of Noraly's information, very well researched and presented. Love this.
Best advert for South African tourism. They should sponsor you xx
I agree. I also think BMW Motorad or Honda or Ktm or Kawasaki or Triumph …should fall over each other to sign her as brand ambassador.
Thx John. Noraly don't in the right category to get a sponsor from the SA Tourism... Sorry.
That’s it. As soon as I can, I’m going to South Africa. Thanks for showing us such a beautiful country.

Wow, what a beautiful journey you've taken us on! Your skill at using the tracking drone shots, and your research of the history of each place is compelling. Seeing the world through your eyes as an epic world traveler is gift to us!
Well edited, and very enjoyable to watch. We visited there in 2018 in the same areas, wonderful sea food...sadly it looks very quiet now in the Pandemic. I do hope the economy of South Africa will rebound for the business owners in the future.
Wow those white sand beeches are so out of this world beautiful.
Southern California, San Francisco, and Point Reyes are feeling jealous now. Fog is like a sheer dress for a landscape.
As a South African and long time resident of Cape Town i must say i felt in familiar territory when i spent a few years in California...many similarities !
Ohh, those shots are super amezing.. No words to praise Noraly enough. Thanks a ton superwoman for showing us SA
Only for Noraly; a private cable car with operator, low lying clouds on the Cape, and a stunning opportunity to possibly catch a glimpse of the Flying Dutchman! What a wonderful adventure! Ride safe Noraly!
Flying Dutchman ... Riding Dutch Girl has come looking for you. Such a wonderful tour. Always love your narration of all interesting facts. Thanks and God bless you.
What can I say awesome I really need to get to South Africa 🇿🇦🏍🏍🏍🏍🏍🏍🏴
The scenery in today’s video was beyond spectacular as were your drone shots. Bravo, Noraly!!
You really are a one woman video production company, the quality of that was amazing, such stunning scenery (even in GoPro 2D). I'm glad you took your time to enjoy it, and thanks for sharing it with us.
I laughed when she said, "...I'll be returning through some mountain," as she's normally very specific about routes and places. Another great video.
Sometimes I can´t even express how much I love our little blue and green ball...
What a beautiful place, Capetown is!
Some of the best scenery, cinematography with music and editing anywhere. Just awesome.
Cape Point...most beautiful. Love the mystical clouds...spectacular.
This was a stunning trip. Thank you for allowing us to tag along with you.
Yay! It is time for the Itchy Boot’s South Africa edition! Can’t wait to see what adventures she’s up to today in Cape Town. I bet it’s going to be great!
Best regards to TonyHANSEN. 🇸🇰🕊🕊🎖🎖🌍🌍🌍
What a beautiful place to have the end of the earth!
Thankyou for taking us with you, wonderful!
Oh wow! You weren't scared to fly your drone with these low clouds to present us these magnificent views, awesome! I am soo much enjoying your adventures in Africa, thank you for that Noraly!
I always like then you are sharing your meals with us. More of that please!
Thanks once again for bring me with you on this beautiful trip. S.A. is on my bucketlist now.
I hope you got to ride Chapman’s on a clear day as well, it is a stunning view under those clouds
Hope she also does Signal Hill at noon to catch the noon day gun firing!
I am really enjoying being on this journey through my country of berth with you. Living in Perth now for the past 12 years and one forgets the beauty of South Africa. You capture it perfectly and your videography captures the essence of the landscape beautifully. Love your work!
Beautiful South Africa ❤❤
I see you already found Chapman’s peak. While you are on the west coast, book a table at die strandloper. It’s an incredible experience, amazing food and great views.
A historical lighthouse, stunning clouds, fresh seafood and an amazing ride. I really enjoyed seeing it all!
I live in Eastern Cape, Jeffreys bay. I still cry when I see shows like this. Been here for 2 years and still mayor thankful for the awesome privilege of being part of such beautiful surroundings 😍💖
I hope Noraly gets to see more of the wonderful things our city has to offer. Perhaps once or twice she will have to leave her bike behind so as to walk on the mountain or on the beach. Also I hope she notices the bikers' greeting to each other on the road, given by a nod of the head. We're a friendly bunch and acknowledge each other.
Rio de Janeiro has a rival. Noraly you are a very good filmmaker.
Thank you for showing my home town in such a great way. Love your channel, think you are such an inspiration. Safe travels
Miss Noraly there are not many folks who could pull this type of adventure off to an epic level as you have done you should get some kind of TH-cam Emmy you are a very special person to pull off what you encounter on a daily basis ThankYou So Much
Noraly... even some subtle nuances in your accent now sound South African :) Another great vid.
It's strange to say this, because ALL your videos are phenomenonal, but this one in particular is possibly one of your best. The drone footage, your fanastic commentary, the views, the edit. Just pure art. Sometimes I forget I'm watching an independant travel blog, i feel like Im watching a professionally made travel show. You are an absolute joy Noraly. And how was that scene from the seafood restaurant!!!? 😱😍👌🌊
You should have gone to Boulders Beach to show the penguin colony. It’s very accessible, the beach sand is spectacular, the water is crystal clear and for the small fee (which pays for the upkeep of the facilities and protection of the birds) you would attract more viewers and see something really special. It’s unlike anything you’ve ever seen.
Yes, I wondered too she didn't go there when she was in Simon's Town, have been there in 2005, it was really stunning. But anyway, it was a really nice episode, Cape Point and all the way down there, wow!
She has already been to a penguin colony in SA . If you have seen one, you have seen them all
@@saafrican3988 that’s rubbish, where she went was not like Boulder’s
@@m.rabbetts4998 Agree 100% . If she could have gone to the beach at Betty's bay it would have been better, but she understandably could not leave her personal stuff unattended. Boulders beach is tbe best
Boulders isn't your typical penguin colony. Noraly could lock her helmet to the bike, or - for a euro - just one euro - ask one of the many unemployed guys who are in every car park in the country, to watch the bike for her while she looks around.
Oh my God Noralee! The scenery is epic! The music is perfectly epic to go with the majestic scenery. I love what you are able to capture and share with us (the world 🌎).
I also extremely enjoy your energy (attitude) towards whatever you encounter. Your enthusiasm and appreciation for nature and the wildlife is infectious and a joy .
Ride on girlfriend! My sincere gratitude and appreciation is with you.
I just love watching you enjoy the city I’ve lived in most of my life. As you have found, the Cape is capricious, only displaying its beauty in glimpses. Enjoy, along with the rest of South Africa.
Definitely want to ride motorcycle in South Africa 🇿🇦!
What gets me is the stunning tracking drone shots coordinated whilst riding... that takes some MAJOR skills.
There are so many places to visit in and around Cape Town. Have fun Noraly. You are making loads of people very envious! :) If you hang around long enough in Cape Town, you can visit Namaqualand up the west coast to see the sea of flowers. Hope you got to visit Lambert's Bay for the crayfish festival at the end of April. Also much more local to Cape Town, the Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens. For a good lunch ... go to The Brass Bell in Kalk Bay ... it is on the way back towards Cape Town suburbs from Simon's Town.
First and foremost N, MIND BLOWING DRONE SHOTS! 🤯🤯 Misty or not it's JUST SPECTACULAR! So far one of the most amazing, beautiful and stupendous episodes in Season 5. I am so ecstatic and overjoyed that you brought us here and shared the history and the myths. I personally will never get to travel here and I'm extremely grateful. You are one of the most amazing individuals that I have the pleasure and privilege to know. Noraly can you share what those zigzag lines are on the side and middle of the road? Thanks in advance. Take care and ride safe. 🖖🏽🤟🏽🇨🇦
The zigzag lines on the side of the road mean you can't park there.
Wow, the views are absolutely amazing. I would love to be in your boots just one day! 🌎
Noraly, I know every single road you travelled today! When you were at the small car park overlooking Hout Bay, it reminded me how I pargaglided from Silvermine down onto Hout Bay Beach. The take off is basically way above Chapmans Peak Drive. This episode brought so many memories back. Thanks so much.
" I pargaglided from Silvermine down onto Hout Bay Beach" Now there's a video.
Paul Seymour, you have a beautiful playground. Reminds me somewhat of the North coast of Spain, though much bigger cliffs. Did I mention my nephew lives in the Capetown area?
Thanks for the ride Noraly 👍🏻😎
I hope you stay in SA for a while and keep exploring around. Like a lot of us , I had no idea it was so beautiful there.
I like the more relaxed days..jolly beautiful I say miss boots
Your positivity and narration make these videos so enjoyable. We get to experience these locations through your eyes. Go Itchy Boots!
Quality video once again from Noraly. Yeah thumbs up after about 20 seconds. I was reminded of visiting Cape Point about 20 years ago (i'm quite old now). I tried to get a photo of Mrs SurferDude standing by a sign that said "beware of Cobras". Her reaction was strangely negative. Some people eh? No spirit of adventure.
Thank God it's Wednesday, started refreshing from 15h30 just hoping your vid may be early. Your footage and editing just seems the get better at a exponential rate. Thank you for showing my country in such a good light.
Restaurant view over the bay - beautiful! Sparkling sea - perfect! 🐧🙏
OMG that drone shots next level 😍
Hi Itchy Boots from New Zealand been following your trip around Africa thanks so much for the great videos it looks fantastic BSafe.
❤️🇨🇦, wow just wow. What a Beautifull place.
Lols - really developing quite the Afrikaan’s twang Noraly. Quite amusing... but very enjoyable vlog. Keep them coming.
Where exactly? She sounds pretty Dutch to me.
With this episode you remind me of the most remarkable day of my life: Joanna and I caught Haleakala Crater one day when the peak was clear, we drove to the summit, parked, descended into the crater, walked across it, and climbed to the opposite rim where we got to see clouds rolling into the crater through a breach in the crater wall. Darkness by then: I thumbed a ride back to the summit with an astronomer who was headed up to the observatory, got the rental car, and drove back down to rejoin Joanna. 51 years ago.
She approached the route anti clock wise instead of clockwise. Had she done it the other way round most if the fog/clouds hat you saw filling that bay area (called Houtbay) would have been gone when she got there
Are you confusing South Africa with Greece perhaps?
Africa is so massive. Fantastic country you're traveling through. Amazing sights. Thanks for letting us share in it.
Wow Its amazing you're here in the Mother City. I discovered your amazing videos just yesterday and am enjoying them so much. They instantly became my favorite travel vlogs. Enjoy your stay here.
Both my visits to Cape Point were crowded ones. No social distancing on the funicular up. But a magical vista indeed. I spotted the post with signs showing how far it was to major cities. That proves you are truly at one of the ends of the earth when standing there. I hope to make another visit, but thanks for showing it. Your video of the trip down was well done, but if anyone takes it they realize how impossible it is to show all the beauty. Fine times indeed.
