[@mysimplevanlife]

Hi there, thank you for sharing this amazing video, Happy Trails, Safe Journeys and Be Blessed

[@koosvonlandsberg5353]

WAARDEER 😊

[@JaneMacKay-l1s]

I love your videos. I lived in S.A. for some years but you are taking me to places I didn't even know existed. And what a good advert for your cars! The places you go to and the roads you go on - I hold my breath sometimes while you drive over the rocky places.

[@lyndaandjeanthurman5804]

We are enjoying your road trips. The dirt roads and rocky areas my wife would take and I will be holding my breath LOL. Some of the places we have heard of but never been

[@walterfick157]

Thanks for a lovely trip along the West Coast of our country... looking forward to the next one👍👍

[@DustBugsTravel]

Thank you, we just loved this one too. Such diversity and beauty, we had a fantastic time. We're very excited about the next one. Look out for it on Saturday! 🤩

[@christaenslin5198]

You missed the winery Fryers Cove. A little gem right next to the sea in Doringbaai.

[@DustBugsTravel]

We drove right up to it when we went to see the lighthouse up close, but it was early on a Sunday morning and they were closed. They have a fantastic location! 🌊

[@thanadevilliers7994]

A shame

[@thanadevilliers7994]

It has been done over in the time you have been there. Do not miss it again

[@thanadevilliers7994]

Fryers cove also has a restaurant

[@flodillon991]

Wherever the sea is my heart is there could almost smell the sea. Well done just loved all of it.

[@DustBugsTravel]

There is so much sea around this area, you'll love it! 🌊 The smell of the ocean was so strong as we drove on that road next to the ocean, it was absolutely wonderful.

Used to go to Doringbaai to buy some "kreef" from the locals whilst on holiday at Strandfontein. Town much neater than it was. One could walk on the pier. Lovely times

[@DustBugsTravel]

Doringbaai is a lovely little village and one you must know very well, having gone to Strandfontein very often on holiday. We drove through from Strandfontein the day before for some beer since Strandfontein doesn't have a liquor store. 🍻 We loved the area down by the little harbour and lighthouse. Very chilled vibe there, which we loved! 😊🚗

[@graemekruger5039]

Love the see and the palm trees

[@DustBugsTravel]

So many palm trees around, it's crazy! But luckily we love them too, so don't mind that there are literally hundreds in the area! 🌴🌴

[@tillabezuidenhout6460]

Loved it.

[@sonjatait4089]

Ek het wonderlike tye daar spandeer!!! Mis dit!! 🥲🥲🥲

[@Manuel21463]

Die Handelshuis is te lank saam met Doringbaai.toe verkort hulle dit na Doornbaai,maar selfde betekenis.Hulle hou toe van DOORNBAAI en bly seker by die verkorte naam.😄

[@BrendonSchaferCT]

Lekker little town.

[@DustBugsTravel]

True that! 😁🚗

[@louisavermeulen4309]

Louisa. Dankie dat ek kon saam ry met julle deur die platteland. Het dit baie geniet om die plekke te sien..

[@DustBugsTravel]

You're so very welcome! 😊 And we appreciate you being on the road with us. We hope to see you in many more places! 😁🚗

@@DustBugsTravelHoekom antwoord julle nié in Afrikaans nié?

[@montenell7940]

You guys missed out on the best of the trip. Wine tasting and lunch at Fryers Cove. Myself and my late wife was there a few years ago and the best sweet wine ever is sold at the winery. Very expensive but worth every sent. I still have a bottle of 500ml that i bought there for i think R200 8 or 10 years ago. Doornbaai Handelshuis got everything you need. We bought a few blank cd's there. and some other stuff. Safe travel i am busy catching up on past episodes.

[@DustBugsTravel]

I'm glad you enjoyed your wine tasting and lunch, but it's a classic case of different strokes for different folks, I think. 🤷🏻‍♂️ We can have the best food and wine within half-an-hour from our house, but we're not into wine at all. Not expensive food either, come to think of it. We travel to see things which we can't see close to home. Happy to hear you're catching up on old episodes. 🚙😁

[@erickoster6530]

The word Doorn is the old Dutch spelling for the Afrikaans doring. So I would think that the name changed over the years amongst locals to Doringbaai. ( In die volksmond ).

[@altaappel4568]

aww the cute donkeys.

[@DustBugsTravel]

We adore donkeys! 😍🐴

[@Plushies_world]

Hey guys love your show...Doorn is dutch for thorn and doring Afrikaans for thorn:) probably linking to heritage

[@DustBugsTravel]

I'm happy to hear you enjoy our videos. 🙂🚗 Thank you for the info! 👍🏻

[@graemekruger5039]

I also like chicken mayonnaise

[@DustBugsTravel]

It's become one of our staple sandwiches, a go-to when we're on the road and in a hurry. Bon appetit! 🥪

[@JohnThomas-lp3rf]

When do we see Sonia?

[@DustBugsTravel]

😁 It took me a while for her to agree to be heard, so I took what I could get! 😍

[@gregorydavids5304]

Check out on YT; Omang? Doringbaai

[@DustBugsTravel]

I'll definitely do that, thank you for letting us know! 👌🏻
