Cape Town is CRAZY cool if you do these things

Our South African adventures continue but today we’re flying from the mega city of Johannesburg to the coastal treasure of Cape Town. You’re about to see what this breezy travel day entails but we’re also gonna show you the luxury waterfront digs where we’re crashing for the next 3 nights and we’re gonna take you on a very different kind of African safari just outside of The Mother City. Let’s get to it.

ABOUT US
We’re the Lockwoods. And we’re traveling the world to experience-up close and in person-all the natural wonders and distinct cultures that our kids would otherwise be consuming only through textbooks and TV. We think it’s a better way to learn and we’re working hard to fund this little experiment in the hope that our kids will grow up wiser, kinder, and more grateful for the beauty of our diverse planet and its people.

When I saw Erin running to catch up with the Ostrich feeding... I got a little teary-eyed, because I could feel her joy to catch an important moment in her child's life.. a beautiful mom moment I feel privileged to see. I would have worn gloves for the Ostrich feedin' lol. Colt's first penguin sighting too was awesome. What an adventure life is when you are open to change!

[@AlwaysBeChanging]

This warms my heart. Thank you for seeing us, and me, in that light. I’m glad you understood the joy I have for the kids happiness. They say a mother can only be as happy as her saddest child, and that’s very true 😊

South Africa has been on bucket list since 2014. When you guys get back to Manila, you need to try the birria tacos from Onlypans Taqueria in Makati.

A penguin couple landed on the coast and one turned to the other and said "Honey, I don't think we're in Chile." The other one replied "I don't care, it's your fault for not asking for directions. We swam this far, I'm not going back!" And that's how the penguins ended up in Africa. LOL

Others are Australia, Brazil (of course), china, Colombia, rep of Congo, Ecuador (Galapagos), India , Indonesia, Madagascar , Mexico, Papua New Guinea, Peru , Philippines, South Africa(for sure), USA, Venezuela. And with the stroke of luck and nature, the peninsula and Borneo became the oldest tropical forest in the world.

[@janetceniza8091]

husband just checking in - 7 am in Cebu. Up at 4am to see what's on the pc from the States, walk the dogs about 5 am. Feeding the Ostriches reminded me of a story my mom told me. In 1946 or 7 my mom and dad went off on a week vacation with out the kids, I was 3 or 4. Some where close to Yellowstone Park they stopped and mom saw this just so cute baby bear cub. She wanted to feed it a potato chip, flat hand and the bear cub bit through one finger. She said his teeth were like little needles.

[@AlwaysBeChanging]

Wow, you started your day very early ☀️. I bet it’s nice to be back in PH. Your mom is lucky she only had her hand bitten. If the momma bear was nearby it could have been a lot worse.

[@well-blazeredman6187]

Watching this in chunks, but I was so impressed by the hotel that I went to check on availability for January. And I could get a week for just £20,400! Mega-cripes! Cape Town? Love it - and if I could do a safari from there, I wouldn't bother with Jo'burg. Looking forward to the other videos in this series.

[@AlwaysBeChanging]

The safaris are actually much closer to Johannesburg but there is so much to experience in both areas. Can’t wait to show our Winelands resort, that hotel really blew us away!

[@OHANA-Beach-Suites-CDO]

Hey ABC! I feel the same way about Cactuses I want to hug them just like Colt with Penguins lol. That hotel is amazing the level of service and follow through, I love that, I'm taking notes!

Colt would fit right in at Australia zoo with the Irwins

[@AlwaysBeChanging]

I know! I reached out to them once. But I guess it’s about having the right contact there. We would love for Colt to get a behind the scenes experience there.

[@keangwooichoo6138]

The earth was once one land called pangea. Then it broke up due to tectonic plates movements. Africa was together with South America. The proof can be found in animals example in Namibia and South Africa. India went north to create Himalaya range by colliding with the Asian plate Australia broke away from Antarctica. Antarctica was green and lush once. Australia too. But the early humans burned Australia up. So not much is growing there in the middle. Sometimes it is not the animals migrating but the earth split them apart. You can see that split in Africa now which is breaking up again at the fault lines.

[@AlwaysBeChanging]

Geography and history is endlessly fascinating.

[@azalianieuwenhuys8844]

Also...if you take a drive up Van Ryns Pass(+- 4 hours out of Cape Town) you can see evidence of the break /rift that was left behind due to that historical event . It's crazy beautiful and many tourists make the trip for the view . There's also an exact same effect in South America. So many of my Geology friends geek out about the privilege of seeing it ❤

# 2 climbing to the light house is similar in steps to climbing up the hill to see the chocolate hills in Bohol PH. Not sure I can take so many steps anymore. Where is the escalator ?

[@AlwaysBeChanging]

No escalator but at least we had the cable car to take us up the mountain.

[@scottmeskan1931]

Curious, Im a nervous flyer as well! Whats your routine to deal with this considering most of your flights are sooo long and you fly soooo much?

[@AlwaysBeChanging]

Great question. I rely a lot on Phil, he knows so much about flying and airplanes he’ll usually explain to me why everything is fine. But when I fly without him I look around the plane at the other passengers when I get nervous. I observe that they are all fine and if something was wrong more people would be nervous. But I’m usually the only nervous one. I also peak at the flight crew and notice that they don’t seem to indicate anything is wrong.

You might need to fill us in a bit. We had heard that the city could be dangerous, but so are most in the US. That's just life in a big city. Anything specific we all should know?

[@leomarlonestrada5954]

YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ostrich and Penguins!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The part when Brooklyn was bitten by that Ostrich and Colt being pecked by the Penguin is an experience they will never forget. I mean, I was rammed by a Dolphin back in 2017. I will never forget that experience (painful as it was). This is one of my favorite videos from one of my favorite youtube families (you know who the other family is......I saw them in BGC recently looking for a carpet). I can't wait for the "Big 5" Episode.

[@AlwaysBeChanging]

A dolphin 😱 how could you forget that. Such a cool story and memory I imagine 😊

[@leomarlonestrada5954]

@@AlwaysBeChanging Yes. It happened when my friends and I visited the Tanon Strait. This is the body of water that separates the Islands of Cebu and Negros. We saw a pod of Dolphins in a shallow area and approached them. I saw a baby one and tried to get close to it to touch it. The Mother Dolphin didn't like what I was doing so it rammed me in the chest. It was not hard but it was really painful. This reminded me that these magnificent creatures are at home in there turf. They belong in water and were built to live in water. We humans are no match to them when we are in water.
