- Stopping at the top of Sir Lowry’s Pass to start this trip was fantastic. A short drive later and we were in the town of Grabouw. Visiting this area which is well known in South Africa as being apple country was a good decision. We drove through the town looking for interesting places. The old Jailhouse and the Harris Bros building dating back to 1906 were awesome. We had a delicious breakfast and then departed Grabouw. While we were parked next to a dam just outside of town, two friendly gentleman came to fly their racing pigeons. What a show that was! So interesting and so much fun, we've never seen that before. #DustBugs #adventuretravel #southafrica #southafricavlog #grabouw #applecountry

Haven’t heard that expression in years
We used to say " you dont use it you lose it", now its if you dont lock it you lose it.🙃👍🙏
That’s an awesome hobby my dad also flew pigeons and it was very exciting when they came home.we had to check their ring
Donnie... best driving instructor ever. I am from CEO (Grabouw) but have been living in SEA (South East Asia_Thailand currently) for the last 7 years. Was at home in June/July last year (vrek koud...lol). Seeing this just makes me a little bit homesick. Thanks for the video :-)
Info about the pigeons was really interesting. Scenery amazing as usual.
Thank you! We were really lucky that Daniel and Donavan stopped there while we were there. We've never seen racing pigeons up close like that before and also found it super interesting! 🕊️
Visited grabou many times
Learnt something about the pigeons hey! Wasn’t sure what was going on with them birds😁😁
It was just perfect timing that the two gentlemen arrived with their birdies while we were parked there! It was really amazing to see them release their pigeons and to hear how far and fast they can fly! 😍🕊️
Hi thanks for all the lovely content.... Are you guys sponsored by Renault? You always drive a different color kwid....have a safe and lovely trip can't wait for your next video be safe out there 🙏
We're definitely not sponsored, we just love the Kwid so much because it can literally go almost anywhere and is still incredibly fuel-efficient, which is important in the times we live in. We rent a different one every time. 🚗 We appreciate you travelling with us!
@@DustBugsTravel nice to know now I can travel with my kwid as well thanks guys be safe enjoy
A place very close to my heart, even as I sit here writing this from the UK. Thanks for the footage - I miss it 😢
It sounds like you have a special connection with the area. We hope we brought just a little bit of it back to life for you. Come back anytime and watch some more. 😁
@@DustBugsTravel I will and thank you. You have a new subscriber 😃
@@DustBugsTravel it looks like I have plenty of watching to do! You guys have visited many many areas that are In my childhood memories. Very emotional. Thank you 😊 enjoy the evening wherever you currently are in the Cape ❤️
Wow that area is beautiful the air looks clean and fresh. The pigeons were beautiful just loved them. What an experience. Great!!!!
It's a town we so often just pass by and we're happy that we took the time to explore it this time! The pigeons were a fantastic surprise, so glad you enjoyed it too! 🕊️
Great to see all those pigeons! It's amazing how fast they can fly! Isn't Grabouw where Adrian Kuiper, former SA cricket player, has a farm?
Close! I think he farms at Elgin, which is very close to Grabouw. 😁
Always enjoying watching the program trying to imagine what Sonja look like when are we going to see what we she looks like
Thank you so much, I'm so happy to hear that you enjoy our videos! 🚗😁 Sonia is still not keen on appearing in front of the camera. I hope that one day she'll give me the green light to film her. 😍
Greetings from Parramatta Australia. I stumbled across your footage of the township of Grebouw after having bought Grebouw boerewors recently. I decided to do a little research and was delighted to find Grebouw is a lovely little farming town much like my favourite small town of Mudgee to the north west of Sydney. Beautiful!
Welcome, we're so happy to hear you enjoyed exploring Grabouw with us! 🚗😁 You're correct, it's a lovely town and located in a major apple-producing region of South Africa, about an hour away from Cape Town. 🍎🍏 And the sausage isn't half bad either! I hope you enjoyed it too! 😝🤤 Thank you for watching!
Greetings to Paramatta we had a 15 minute train stop for thee. Lovely station in 1960 on the way from Melbourne to Sydney
I'm from Grabouw what a beautiful little town and I know Donny great guy. Nice video you really make me miss my home town as I'm residing in Gauteng
Thank you, we're glad you enjoyed it and hopefully it brought back many great memories for you. 😊 We were just so happy to have met Donavan and Daniel and that we could learn a little bit more about racing pigeons, that was a real treat for us! 🕊️ Hopefully you get to visit the beautiful Cape again soon.
Yes indeed I go home every year hopefully I can even move back permanently God bless.
Grabouw borre worst is the best
