We began our day at the Waterfront in Cape Town where the vibrant energy set the tone for our journey. Boarding the red Sightseeing Bus, we were greeted with excitement as we set off to explore the city's historic landmarks and picturesque streets. The bus provided a unique vantage point, allowing us to marvel at the architectural splendour of the old buildings and the overall charm of Cape Town. Transitioning to the tranquil waters of the harbour, our boat cruise offered a serene interlude, affording us leisurely views of the bustling maritime activity and playful seals basking in the sun. As the day waned, we ascended Signal Hill aboard the Sunset Bus, where we were treated to a breathtaking panorama of Cape Town. Sharing a delightful picnic amidst atop this natural spectacle, we concluded our adventure with hearts full of gratitude for this magical experience. #DustBugs #adventuretravel #southafrica #southafricavlog #travelongravel #sightseeingbus #capetown

I'm a South African who has never been to Cape Town! But I really want to see the Mother City as soon as possible. It looks stunning in your videos, like a world class city with so much history and culture. And it looks safe too (although I've heard things....).

If you are a South African, as I am, you cannot but feel so proud to be one when you experience Cape Town in it's majesty as you did today! This is what one would refer to as "a world-class African city". A true jewel. Impeccably presented and spotlessly clean. Your video today reminded me of a tourist day trip in and around Monaco 😏. Thank you for sharing your awesome video once again.

Howzit Curtis and Sonia this was a lekker episode, I really enjoyed it, I also used to work in the ABSA building in town. Cape Town truly is a beautiful city and I am glad that you were able to share the beautiful vistas from Signal Hill with our visitor from Perth. To all the tourists visiting our beautiful city, you're all special visitors who we welcome with joy and wish you all the best as you discover our beautiful land. South Africa is truly a beautiful country and your channel is a great ambassador for our country and its people. An idea re your merch, when you launch, is to have a special "howt bay" t-shirt in honor of Sonia's Dad.

Hi you two! Thank you for your time and effort. I've spent much time in CT may years ago (mainly working!) but your tour presented the beauty of this historical city in such a fresh and spectacular way, I wish I could move there tomorrow! The harbour boat tour was something very special. So was the previous episode on Bo Kaap (my comment on that was cut off by sudden higher level load shedding, directly after the SONA to confirm the president's announcement that the power crisis will be ending soon). The seal snoozing in the tire was very funny. Your channel is becoming more special by the day (even though I have only fond memories of the gravel road, blue skies, old stations and churches days). I am ready for the next surprise! Keep safe!

At last Curtis had a break from driving. So good to see that Sonia was able to climb those stairs on the bus. A great way to see the sights of Cape Town. Loved the boat cruise. Pulling in to Kirstenbosch gardens reminded me of Curtis's guided tour he did there for us. I was so envious watching Curtis drinking that nice Windhoek Lager. We cannot get them here in Invercargill. What a good idea having your snacks and a bubbly on Signal Hill. Did you carry your chilly bin on the bus all day ? Do they still fire the cannon at midday on Signal Hill ? Can't help but notice that Curtis drove through a red light at the end of the video. 😂

We parked in the Portswood parking garage, directly opposite the Bus Ticket Office, so our coolerbox was in the cool car all day and I collected it just before we boarded. 😁🍾🥂 We heard on the audio tour that the Noon Gun is still fired Monday to Saturday. 💣

Just one more quick question. As a 6 year old I used to travel on the electric trains from Diep River to Michael Oak Primary in Kenilworth. Is it still safe to travel on the Southern train route from Cape Town to Simonstown ?@@DustBugsTravel

You need to give Weißbier ("wheat beer") another try. Forget that it's a "beer", and treat it as its own kind of drink - a bit sweet with a slight tang or something - and no hops. You can buy those in litre bottles in Germany in most supermarkets or at a "Trinkhalle" for much less than you'd imagine. (If you buy an imported one from a South African bottle store, you might have to first find out if you can pay in blood.) Hmm ... and one you should maybe see if you can train yourself to appreciate (starting by ignoring the word "beer" in its name) is sorghum beer - if they even still sell that? I can''t remember when I last saw African sorghum beer on sale anywhere. Once you acclimatize to it (like a kid who initially can't stand bitter hops acclimatizes to a bitter beer) it's also a nice drink/ meal - since it has bits of grain in it, so it's both. Weißbier is generally higher alcohol beer, where sorghum beer is something like 2%, so low alcohol. Another hmm ... If commercial sorghum beer has had its day, it might be something for some entrepeneur to have a go at reviving - e.g. for the tourist trade. (The strainers used to remove the bigger bits are quite ornamental, so you could sell a tourist something like a "sorghum small beer" / light ale and a woven strainer all at the same time, if you can find the last person in Africa who still knows how to make strainers. Last time I was in Malawi they still had beer halls there, so if the art and custom of sorghum beer has died out down here, there's some chance it still lives on somewhere else. Sell it together with Egyptian beer, maybe? (Might be quite similar to ancient world beers.) I seem to have gotten distracted there. :D The red bus looks like a fantastic deal for anyone wanting to orient to Cape Town, and see some incredible sights - especially if taking the sunset option.

I want to enjoy what I drink from the first sip (or gulp!) and not have to train my palate and throat to enjoy it. 🍺 I'm not really a hugely experimental guy when it comes to food and drink. I've had sorghum beer on occasion and have enjoyed it, but not enough to flog it and its strainers to customers. 😁 I'm sure it's still commercially available though, but I'm speaking under correction about that.

Lekker! Zeker een mooi woord vanuit het Nederlands in het Afrikaans. Van toepassing op biltong en droge worst. Gelukkig voor de veiligheid is ook het woord ‘nooduitgang’ identiek zie ik in de bus 😅. Mooie toeren over de weg en het water. Zeeleeuwen zijn zo geinig, en die ‘hangjongere’ in de band echt hilarisch. Goede suggestie van Sonia om dat beeld als symbool van de haven te maken. Het is een 100% zen plaatje 🦭. Heerlijk dat jullie zo genieten in de eigen achtertuin met een zalige lunch. Weizenbier is jummie als je ervan houdt tenminste, goed dat je eerst voor proefde want het zonde om bier te drinken dat je niet smaakt 🍻. Het restaurant in het centrum midden in de VOC Company Garden kan ik aanbevelen, super heerlijke taart en dito bieren. De aflevering over Simonstown heb ik opgezocht, dank voor je tip. Die bleek ik toch al gezien te hebben, de tijd vliegt 😊 maar het was zeker geen straf om nogmaals te beleven!

We're explorers by nature and water activities aren't really our vibe. Although I know there are countless other activities and things to do, eat and drink on board these ships, I'm not sure how I feel about being stuck on one for several days. And on a longer one, getting on and off for excursions will be super tiring for Sonia. We may try it out in the future though, we'll see. 😁🛳️

What camera are you filming with? Try get a polarizing filter for it. It's great for window reflections or cutting glare from glass or water.
