Its my dream to retire in Hermanus one day, maybe even to move there before retirement. The mountains, the vineyards, the restaurants, the coffee shops, bars, the art galleries, the beaches, the coastal walkways, ... its an amazing place.

[@susannaemmerich1166]

A whale of a day!!!! Thank's to both of you, lovely as always.🙃🙏👊❤

[@DustBugsTravel]

My first husband was restoring a Sunbeam Tiger when my sons were growing up. And when once while visiting a Sunbeam club we got to drive a member's Tiger. With its powerful Cobra engine we sped through the then still being constructed highway at 120 mph (193.1 km). Wow, what a powerful engine that Tiger had!

The splendour and vibe of Hermanus continues to impress! Like yourselves I am a frequent visitor to the town and never tire of it's beauty and quaintness.

Holden was an Australian car manufacturer - a subsidiary of General Motors. I think the one you saw was a Holden Classic from the early 1960s.

[@DustBugsTravel]

[@barbaraburns1056]

[@DustBugsTravel]

Hermanus is truly a special place, so enjoy your visit! 🌊

[@malcolmcarter881]

I loved the festival never been to it will be goung next year to experience it. ❤❤

[@nankadutoit1635]

I remember those leather shoes for school many moons ago it was called baby dolls😂I loved mine

[@yvonnecoetzee3508]

It is so beautiful, and I cannot believe how clean everything is

[@yvetteretief995]

That restaurant has the best carrot cake that I have ever tasted!

[@DustBugsTravel]

We had great coffee there, but we didn't try the carrot cake! Maybe next time! 😉

[@deonzar]

Always a nice festival to go to. Glad you and Sonia enjoyed it. The two times I was there the weather was definitely better.. lol. I just love those cars. And just a question....I dont suppose you found the station with no railway line yet...🤓

[@DustBugsTravel]

The weather was horrible, but we still had a great time! 😁🐋 I hate to disappoint you (again!), but this visit was all about the Whale Festival, so for once a station was the furthest thing from our minds, as hard as that may be to believe! 🚉

[@shaunmaree6493]

👍weve just had whales migrating pass our local beach for weeks , ive seen them real close while windsurfing, beautiful spot by the way 😊

[@DavidDeBeerrobinop]

I finally reached episode 500 now on 502 catching up,keep on please my weekends would be boring if I did not watch Saturday and Sunday

[@dirkhoekstra727]

My parents live in Hermanus and I lived there too for about 2 years (2021 - 2023), but I'm in Montagu now. I found that most of the whales are now laying closer to Gansbaai than Hermanus. I always saw more whale closer to Grotto Beach than Gearings Point.

[@teresagillmer9464]

That's where we wanted to live but things 😢didn't go as planned

[@nankadutoit1635]

U spoke to soon about the music😂

[@Mairi-r5p]

The weather is due to GeoEngineering.

[@teresagillmer9464]

Its sad thats its so costly to drive to Hermanus and accommodation is expensive.,We used to go there often whenmy motheri in law lived there😢

[@freddyvanwijk2034]

One wonders how many tourists come to that part of the world for that bringing lots of money into that area's economy.

[@DustBugsTravel]

I read on the Whale Festival website that they receive anywhere between 75000 and 130000 visitors each year. It was wonderful to see so many folks come out, despite the stormy weather. 🐋😍
