Let's explore this beautiful earth.
Descending Mt Huashan and visit to the Terra Cotta Museum.
This is the second chapter of the hike. Going down those thousands of steps left us with sore legs, Besides this I have included some of the places we visited especially the theatre where watch the performances in five different stage settings. I was truly impressed. We visited the Terra Cotta Museum, although it was crowded, it was fun. The Chinese love to visit these ancient ruins. They tend to go up the mountain with young kids. I doubt if that is allowed in the Western countries. Al in all it is cheap for us to travel in China. I will return to China for more challenges.

That's awesome footage ❤
Miss you sir love v and z
Having a great time here, by the way Richardo is off to his old team,lol
Hey there, which route did you guys take that resulted in 2 and a half hrs?
Hi, started at the Constantia Neck parking area and did the so called short cuts, going up. There was one hiker that was not use this type of climbing thus making the trip a bit longer. The weather was not that accommodating as such. Coming back we walk along the Jeep track. Hopefully this information will suffice.
We used to fish as a child at simonstown jetty, great place to catch fish.
Hi yeah I suppose those were the days.
What a great pleasure was to pass here. Thank you fro sharing. Thumb up.
❤️❤️❤️
A lovely experience, thanks Anthony, pity you're leaving us, gonna miss you buddy....

Outstanding scenery.
Thanks
Wonderful video. I do enjoy watching you guys hiking, checking out the beautiful nature and these historical sites. Can't wait to watch the next video. Awesome
This is a disclaimer, in no ways are we compensated advertising the holiday accommodation and no mention was made in regards to the name of said organisation who owns this building. My focus was to give the viewers an idea what's available in Aniston and its surrounding area. I do wish to make a correction in the content in regards to the price which was in actual fact 173 USDollars and not 470 as shown in the content. Sorry for that. Nevertheless the deal was worthwhile because the place is spacious modern and well maintained.
Beautiful trail, nicely explained everything.
Thanks for the comment
Well done guys
Remember your spot in the team will always be there for you buddy.
@@Escapadeaj thank you
@@Escapadeaj don't worry going to join you soon
Our first hike for 2022, and getting rid of all those extras around the waist which made it's way around the middle during the festive period. Overall the hike was pleasant as always, we were accompanied by a strong and fresh South easter wind, aka the Cape doctor. Trail was mostly loose sand at the start, but during and getting to the end of it was the beautifull sites that only mother nature could boast. Thankx Anthony for a super hike.
Great buddy, I know you're ready for the next one.
❤️❤️❤️
Great video
Wow !!!! That looks totally awesome. Also looks strenuous, you must be lekker fit to go up there. I like the views all around. Nice Video Escapade AJ
Yeah thanks it's a with our low budget equipment that I am proud to relay our message. You must be aware what our message, we want to encourage more people just to enjoy nature and possibly keep fit.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Next time you need to join us.
Nothing can beat the hiking trails the Cape has to offer....so I enjoy the great outdoors a lot and looking forward to the next one.

Thanks Alex, glad to know you guys are still having fun working. For now I am waiting for certain borders to open and go on my new found entertaining yet sometimes strenuous expeditions, being close to nature. Perhaps one day when the pandemic has become just somehow controlled by scientists and we have more freedom to roam, I'll come for a visit. You take care and stay safe.
I really enjoyed watching the hike. The scenery is spectacular. Well done 👍
Thanks Farzanah, glad you like it, hope it's an inspiration to get out there and enjoy life.
Great video! Thanks for sharing, looks incredible though!

Awesome bro n the scenery looks amazing 🤙
Thanks glad you like it.
Wow! Impressive.. Very impressive....
Thanks need to impress you more as time goes by, watch this space in the future.
Looks very enticing, will definitely consider a hike like this one for next time. The comradeship amongst the guys are clearly noticeable. But most importantly is the connection with mother nature it's something else, it's just next level....
Thanks Reg, you missed out but don't you worry, we need you with the next hike with these fellows, it was a joy being with them.
Yes please count me in....
Fantastic. Felt like I was right there with you guys. 👌
Thanks buddy, need to upgrade my equipment especially when we got drenched by the rain.
You're welcome to join us next time.
Nothing better than the BEAUTY of the WESTERN CAPE!!
Yeah there is a lot to explore but we'll try to do most of the routes for now and later spread our wings into the rest of this beautiful country.
A short hike which served superbly as an ice breaker for the upcoming planned hikes. Yes it was not a very long hike, but nothing short of the beauty of the spectacular scenery of the Cape. Never ceases to dissapoint. Make Cape Town part of your itinerary this summer for an unforgettable experience.
Yeah you correct by saying that, small steps and get into the game. We are going to show the world more beautiful and awesome sites one can only dream of. Looking out for more sunny days and spectacular hikes.
Beautiful !!! I love the sea
Yeah yes, we need to appreciate these worldly gifts and have our future inheritances enjoy what we had.
Beautifull, absolutely beautifull, would never miss opportunities like this for the world. The great South African outdoors.
Yeah you are correct by saying that Reggie, we need not take these opportunities for granted. We are going to continue with these hikes and enjoy life while we can.
Loved the hike especially the beautifull Cape Town mountain scenery and landscapes. In the process and as bonus we had a good workout too.
Yes Reg many thanks to you guys for being there and making it possible.
