We had the most incredible time in Cape Town, South Africa. Kicking things off with a jam-packed 48 Hours in Cape Town (which we released last month on our channel!) and then onto a killer road trip through the Cape Town Winelands. ft. Stellenbosch, Franschhoek, Hermanus & Constantia
It really has to be one of the most beautiful places on earth. Incredible food, unforgettable wine, top-jaw dropping views, perfect weather and delightful people.
Making this was a lot of lols and a great adventure.
In order of appearance we visited:
1. Tokara Winelands
2. Babylonstoren
3. Babel
4. Station Pub, Franschhoek
5. Maison, Chefs Warehouse
6. The Wine Tram
7. Rickety Bridge
8. Tuk Tuk Microbrewery
9. Cape Vue, Franschhoek
10. The Hickory Shack, BBQ Smokehouse
11. Mosselberg, Grotto Beach
12. The Three Dams, Hermanus
13. Whale watching at Hermanus
14. Grotto Beach
15. Penguins at Boulders Beach
16. Foxcroft, Constantia

Will is correct, in the past there wasn't a boardwalk and all that stuff. It just used to be a beach that happened to have penguins living there. Once lots of people started visiting they had to fence it off and turn it into a proper park to protect the colony.

Fantastic video Jesse, Will. The production is topjaw-dropping 👍🏼 To help solve the mystery of the African penguins, the boardwalk is on Foxy Beach (north side), Boulders Beach where you can be amongst the penguins is a 10 min walk along the path to the south side. There’s always next time...
