I grew up in Lambert's Bay and as a young boy I left many footprints and gained memories that will last a lifetime. Have you checked out my other videos of Lambert's Bay? There are a couple more on my channel :)
I lived in Lambertsbaai 50 years ago and always wanted to go back - but having seen this video I don't recognise anything at all about my favourite place on earth --- they say you should never go back, so I don't think I will now. Before we had our house we spent two months in The Marine Hotel run by Mr and Mdme Rousseau -- it was a tiny tiny village with nothing to do and nowhere to go. Many many happy memories, but I won't be going back. Thank you for posting this video x
Ek het daar grootgeword vir 'n rukkie! Die dorp het baie verander oor die jare, veral nadat die kreeffabriek gesluit is. Maar hy het nog altyd sy karakter behou, en natuurlik die wonderskoon strande!
Looks like a decent place to spend a few relaxing days, nice walks on the beach, plenty of braai 😍 some grassroots rugby and an artisan souvenir from oom Andres 👌
Absolutely mate. I am really passionate about my former home town. Hope you get a chance to experience the beach and braai in this part of the world sometime :)
Fantastic. It would be nice though at the beginning of the video to show the place where it is situated on the map and distance from CT etc. We then have an idea where it situated. I also watch Dustbugs a show simular to yours and it has a whereabouts of the place. Yes it would be nice to have it . Thanks
Thanks Benny. I'm already ahead of the game - if you watch my more recent South Africa videos you will see that I have done just that :) Thanks for watching and supporting my channel!
@@willieexplore yes Willie still I love my South Africans Brothers I have few I learns some words from them. Hope one day I vist South Africa it’s on my list. Good luck to you Wilde you’re doing well.
Interesting question and there is no single answer, as South Africa has one of the highest Gini coefficients in the world (inequality) which means a huge difference in living standards for different segments of society. Having said that, compared to the UK, day-to-day items such as food is cheaper and alcohol is a lot cheaper. Luxury items such as electronics can be (and I think generally are) more expensive due to a lack of supply and logistics issues. South Africa is blessed with amazing weather but also have to contend with below par / poor public services and electricity supply.

How's the cost of living and the overall quality of life in South Africa?

the navigation lights on top of the wheelhouse are on the wrong sides . red is port left . Green to starboard right hand side.
I wouldn't have a clue, Mike!
My parents used to own the old kreefhuis
Ahh thanks for letting me know! The Booysens owned it when I was growing up there
Crayfish boat = tjakkie.
I believe so! Oom Andries may have a few more names for it too
