S1 – Ep 454 – Cape Point, Cape Town!
We set out for a nature retreat, opting for a visit to Cape Point, located within the Cape of Good Hope section of the Table Mountain National Park in Cape Town. Expecting a serene weekday getaway, we were astounded by the bustling crowd of tourists revelling in the natural splendour. Undeterred, we embarked on a leisurely drive, meandering…

Hi there. Just came back from spending 3 days at Olifantabos guest house. Absolutely amazing. Saw Bontebok and Eland on the beach.
Thanks for the video really enjoyed your guys videos…south Africa is beautiful and unique ❤
My memories keeps coming back when I see this flashback. 🤦♂️
some couples are smart and park a car a the far end and drive a car to the beginning
Bababoons come down to that beech
Great scenery, 👍👍👍❤ from Frances uk
Again thanks for sharing 😊😅😮
You are spreading beauty of South Africa, good job.
One of the most beautiful places on earth
The beauty of Africa, now I'm in the mood to visit more places of my city. Thanks DustBugs as I'm a Capetonian yet very lazy to go out and see the beauty we have here. Your videos make it so interesting as one is there in person.
Wonderful scenery there at Cape Point! When we went last year we only made it to Cape of Good Hope before the mist became so thick that we couldn't see anything! Hopefully, we can take that funicular next time (a new word to me, despite having a PhD in linguistics)!
With the establishment of the refreshment station at de Caap de Goede Hoop by The IOC there was no cement available for building purposes. The Dutch built lime kilns to burn mussels to form a binding material to be used as cement. The lime kiln was built above ground level, with lime stones which did not crack when it becomes very hot. In the oven you would find a fine grid iron and on it they placed layers of mussel shells and wood.
The heat of the fire turned the shells into a fine ash, which then fell through the grid iron. The ash was then mixed with water and placed in a evaporating enclosure to enable it to turn into a type of lime. It was used as a binding material in place of cement. The Castle in Cape Town and many farm houses in the Sandveld on the West Coast was built with it. Salt was added to the lime and was widely used to white wash the outsides of buildings.
Another awesome video guys.
My mother and I always look forward to watching your uploads.
Curtis, if you don't mind me asking, what microphone do you use.
Thanks.
love your videos, a question of all places you've gone to which one or top three was/were your favourite/s?
South Africa is peaceful
Another awesome excursion. I was well-impressed by the offerings at the Buffelsfontein Visitor's Centre. The exhibits at the centre were excellently presented and informative. Thank you.
Hi guys Stunning flora and fauna Da Gama was there 1490 mind blowing spotting Elland first for me .loved the light house and the little cottages the gift shop was very expensive I remember that there was a tee shirt with all the different flags of SA. Amazingly a ex french foreign legion guy walked past my house we had a great chat about the cape and the t-shirt he was wearing 👍 the funicular railway was amazing. The beauty of SA never fails to to uplift me thanks for taking me along cheerio till the next one
Curtis your photography skills is excellent. Thankyou.
Hi Sonja and Curtis. Wow another wonderfull experience. We live in the most beautiful country. Thanks you two😊😊
Leuk om veel meer te zien van dit natuurgebied dan de vuurtoren, want inderdaad tijdens mijn bustoer was het up & down again en naar de volgende bezienswaardigheid. Als altijd nu ook weer jullie ‘geoefende oog’ qua het spotten van allerlei dieren. Wonderlijk dat ook hier de struisvogels leven en bokkies en (piep) kleine schildpadden. Ik zag daar alleen de baboons met hun kids. Goed dat bij het standbeeld van dat dier nadrukkelijk beschreven staat dat voedsel geven gelijk staat aan hun zekere dood. Verder een prachtige vegetatie en fraaie vergezichten. Als je dan toch schipbreuk leidt (of beter gezegd: lijdt) dan is het in ieder geval op een van de mooiste plekken ter wereld 😊⛵️, hopelijk valt het dezer dagen in Strand mee met de geur in de lucht … in Nederland is het nu groot nieuwe dat Kaapstad vergaat van een geur dankzij een Braziliaans schip in de haven met levende dieren aan boord … die dus helaas waarschijnlijk niet zo lief behandeld worden 😢
Het dit baie geniet, Dankie baie

You have come a long way since I started following your channel.
Huge congratulations 🥂 🍾
I've been watching your videos for a while now, love all your videos! I'm living in New York City, never been to South Africa but it's great to see it through your videos! I enjoy them a lot! 😊
I wanted to ask you about the issue of load shedding. I have a friend who lives in Johannesburg and he often talks about how difficult it is for him because of load shedding. But I have noticed when you were in Cape Town too, there were many things that seemed to run normally with electricity. Like the malls, aquariums… they all need lots of power. So I just wondered how this works. 🤔
Our fifth visit there. Four in person and one courtesy of your YouTube channel! Watching from Oz!
Great viewing. Thanks again!
Thank you Curtis & Sonia that was such a lovely trip❤
Stunning location. Many thanks for another great video.
What a beautiful place to explore. Ostriches on the beach! Something we don’t see on Florida’s east coast.😊
I now planning to go and tour the capepoint.Good presenters. Thank you!
They aren't Tortoises. They are mobile speed humps!!!!
Congratulations on reaching 26K subscribers, this episode was really great…the water looks incredible, the food and beverage prices are crazy…Cape Point is definitely worth a visit though…someone swam across False Bay …I recall that the "flying dutchman" is often out of service …it climbs and descents fairly fast…I am glad to see all the tourists though they're driving our prices up. Thanks again for the indepth tour 😊
i really enjoy your podcasts. i live in canada but was born jn cape town
Hi you two! Oh, my beloved country! So astoundingly beautiful, even right to the point where it ends in the ocean. Blue sea and blue skies (most of the time), stunning rock formations, hills and cliffs, animals and birds galore! Beautiful veld flowers, and those trees at Buffelsfontein! Thank you for making this trip so informative and educational you two. You could not have done better, but I know you are going to, you do it every time! Enjoy your time at home. Take it easy, and keep safe!
Thanks once again Sonja and Curtis. That picturesque view looked like a postcard. We have a beautiful country. We do appreciate your channel because not everyone will get to go to these places but can go with you two on your exploring journey.❤
Ooooo! Dit was darem nou lekker om so sit-sit so met julle Kaappunt toe te gaan…!!
Daar lè jaaaare se voetspore van ons ,toe die manne kreef en perlemoen gaan uithaal het!
Voor al die deftige plekke gebou is!!
As jy daar wou kom ,het jy geloop en geklim..!
Maar daardie dae is vir altyd verby!
Nou kan ek saam met julle toer!❤❤❤
