I've been watching your videos for a while now, and this is the one that stole my heart. I would love to let you know how happy it makes me to see you diversify your travel content, and express my deep appreciation for your respectful approach to the history and culture of Bo Kaap. More power and succes to both of you in your wonderful marriage and travels! ❤

I’ve yet to explore this gorgeous part of Cape Town. Lived tin hotbed Cape for 26 years, but I’ve never visited here once. This video has inspired me to rectify that situation soon! God bless, guys.

How true.. she fits right in with that shirt. She couldn't have chosen a better one for this trip. He-he. Did she do it on purpose? Funny. I watched the Somerset and Strand video. Thank you for telling me about it. You didn't go into the Mall, I was disappointed. Haha. We (women) might never get out, - that's true! You travel full-time it seems. Incredible videos in your arsenal, - I had a look just now. You asked us if we have suggestions/ another place to visit then we should put it in the comments, so here I am. It'd be lovely to see Mr. Jan-Hendrik van der Westhuizen's restaurant. He has that famous KAROO meat, as well as a new restaurant/ bar in CAPE TOWN. The second idea is some 'Behind The Scenes' footages, pictures. I mean, how do you decide what's next, how you plan and prepare... how do you know which area/ hotel is safe... do you always return home then start again or go from one place to another... plus some Q&A, like how did you come up with the idea of travelling for YouTube (I mean as YT channel obviously), who thought of it.... and how long are you together? That sort of thing. Thirdly, perhaps some bloopers!! That's always fun... Loved this one too, ♡♡♡ xx..
