Don’t forget to leave when you come visit
this is the first time I have ever made a comment I moved to the apts behind sandys and Whataburger in 1981 I lived in an apt at 600 s first st ifound ajob at the sheraaton crest hotel / see the vidiies rock the casbah anyway you could be a person that had a service job and live in a nice place by the south congress was not what it is now by the way my rent for a nice 1 br apt was 240 including cable all things go on
is what we told you ,,😩 go back where you belong TO,,,,
Says almost every Austinite XD As someone who was born and raised here I have mixed feelings. Sometimes I welcome more people until I get stuck in traffic and see idiots not knowing how to put a turning signal on, or going 10 MPH under the speed limit!
@A K did you take a poll? or did you just assume its californians or "yanks"? and seriously? yanks? we all live in the same country but you refer to people in the north as yanks. god damn that is sad. and I was right there with you up until you spouted that hillbilly shit.
A K you're the transplant invader ,you're not even texan. You over stayed your welcome. Leave pendeja
Your narrative voice sound so peaceful and relaxing 🤗
Austin is a great city but damn is it getting crowded....
It really is.
It is a great city. It would be much greater if it didn’t have some of the worst traffic in the country.
@@Marchant2 more like The Worst Highways in the country which really contributes to all the extra congestion.
This place SUCKS AND I WAS MISERABLE THERE. I SPENT A YEAR AND A HALF THERE AND THE ONLY THING THERE IS THE TACOS. THAT'S IT.
Probably a good thing I left in July 2018, ay?
When in Austin, the only place you never eat is a restaurant chain. Go local and Keep Austin Weird!
Sooooo... No Whataburger?!
@@playdoug12 whataburger's good but if your in Austin. Go to Dirty Matins
He tried, but the pricks in Austin didn't want to serve him. I fucking hate Austin!!!
@@gooneegoogoo123 My goodness, you eat food with that potty mouth?
@@rvvacation1862 Aww did I hurt your feelings to trigger such a response?
Austin is a shadow of its former self.
It’s no longer weird, it’s open to profit. Too many changes and not enough heart.
The soul of the city has been bought. I miss the town Austin use to be. We were weird, independent and humble
All we can do now is accept it and support the independent business that are local. I support "NadaMoo!" which is a Austin, Tx Ice cream who have AMAZING customer service! They are more expensive than Blue Bell but worth the price and I love knowing I am supporting Texans.
Kyle Walker
what side of Austin?
Too much Hype!
Robert please know how far reaching your influence is on this beautiful Sunday Morning, sitting here with my hubby, coffee in hand, adding another city to our bucket list of “go too” places.
Always an enlightening way to start a day thank you!
Thank you!
Yep we’re sitting here in Denmark doing the same thing. Going to the US in January 2020. Picked up lots of inspiration from these videos.
Thomas H Greetings from the East coast of he USA. We Certainly agree with your words regarding inspiration derived from this channel. As we head into retirement and our full time RV adventure begins, following Robert has been nothing short of amazing for us, as well as many others like yourself.
We hope you have a wonderful Holiday on this side of the pond and have a blessed day.
@@Charlie_Paula That's the kind of life we're dreaming about living as well. Either living in an RV or a tiny house on wheels. The freedom of being independent of a certrain place is intriguing. We did a road trip across the West coast of the USA last year, and in January 2020 we'll return for a small road trip going from Orlando through Naples and further on to the Florida Keys. There's really no country like the US when it comes to cross-country road trips, the way the landscape can change during just a few hundred miles always amazes me.
Thank you very much, and you have a blessed day as well.
Thomas H Having the dream of adventure is something everyone should strive to live. Your words are a welcome thought today as we move closer to our retirement.
We’re in agreement regarding the accessibility of the highway network in the USA to go from place to place, but having experience traveling Europe and the South Pacific, some of the best roads as well were through Germany. Unlike the USA where some of the roads are in disrepair the roads We found in Europe were impeccable.
Hope to see you in our travels, be safe our friend.
Been to Austin twice in 2009. Thank you for showing the city and bringing back good memories. Thank you.
Great look at Austin 👍 Many fun things to explore. I was intrigued by the Oasis.
Thanks Robert ☺
The local food and beer selections are really the best reasons to visit unless you care about stuff like ACL or SXSW.
I had been texas austin beautiful place, thank you so much for explored Texas .
As always love your videos. Thank you so much for taking us along. Have a wonderful week.
"The scooters are so annoying." Thank you! Yes they are!
Great video of Austin, thanks! The bats can be hit or miss, after a few disappointments, we don't take visitors to that anymore. It isn't a sky darkening swarm, but an impressive "river of bats in the sky" if they emerge before it gets too dark. Thanks so much for showcasing Austin!
I read the bats are more prominent certain times of the year.
Gooooood morning Robert. Thanks for the new video. It has been fun following you on this epic journey. Have a great day. Fly pelican, fly! 🌴😎👍
Just came back from Austin. Omg, Terry Black's Barbeque @ is AWESOME.
Welcome to my hometown! Summers are VERY hot here. Right now would be a perfect time to visit!
At 5:00 min the genius man is drinking a beer while watching his wife paddle the canoe.. 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣👊👊
Thank you for the tour of Austin. Your commentary always ads a great touch in all the videos. ❤
Hello from England. Great video as always Robert. Very interesting and enjoyable. Thank you :)
Thank you for a great view of Austin. One of the cities on my list to see. Looks like a safe city where people like to eat and take advantage of the outdoors.
I live right behind that whataburger and Sandys frozen custard lol Austin is such an awesome city. thank you for this video showing off how awesome Austin is.
We love your videos! If you ever want to see a phenomenal bat colony,check out the University’ of Florida bat houses. It was so thick, I almost couldn’t see the sky through all of them! So surreal.
Thank you, Robert! Great content, great camera shots, and I like your sense of humor:). And appreciate the slow thoughtful pacing:)
You have an awesome style, Robert. I love this video!
The Oasis is definitely the place to be, especially during the sunset. If your are at the brewery, try the duck poutine. Lots of good food at the main restaurant as well. The place is a favorite for my wife and I when we are down there. We have visited Austin for two of our anniversaries. - Michael
I'm from Houston and been to Austin a few times but you've shown me quite a bit that I've never seen.
This has definitely inspired me to make more trips to Austin.
Beautiful scenery, it would be nice to visit on this time of the year when it is not too hot.
Lived there in 1993-4 and there were many positives depending on the profession you're in. I remember visiting in 1983 and it was growing fast then. I remember boating and passing the 360 bridge in progress, and the span over the river wasn't there. Very cool music scene and great bars!!! Lot's of fun was had.
You can only see the bats at their peak during the late summer early fall. At that time there are around 2-3 million bats under the bridge. Glad you got to enjoy my city of Austin!
I am just now watching these vids, but this is my new favorite channel!!
Only about 13 mins in, but guessing you didn't go to East Austin, on the east side of 75. LOTS of restaurants and amazing food. I hope next time you will get to explore there and Barton Springs! Great video as always!
Love this video! Your camera work was spot on. We really enjoyed the beautiful architecture at the Capitol building. The bats were really cool to see, we enjoy looking for bats when we camp. The lunch you made looked delicious, we are going to try to cook a version of it sometime.
Austin was a Great city back in the 80's, lived there for over 18 yrs but Florida bound I was back in 2001
Love your videos Señor Robert , thank you so much !
Hey, I watched you on Amazon Prime a few years back. Good stuff!
While there are many local places to dine in when in Austin, you can’t pass up a visit to Whataburger. That’s when I knew I had to sub.
I just had a WhatABurger.....Good taste but the burger itself was pretty thin.
Great video. I like very much Austin City> the buildings, the bridges, the Colorado River with the active life. A lot of places to eat...... but I prefer your cuban picadillo with the yelow rice. Congrats and go ahead...>>>
Whataburger is good , but that was a crime skipping Sandy's.
You're so right. Sandy's is a childhood gem.
Sandy’s burgers with a milkshake is something out of this world 👌🤤
@@watermelon_boi Is it really that good? i wanna try it now. I'll have to head over there for the weekend from Dallas.
Goonee Googoo oh yes 🤤every penny will be worth it 😊, just don’t for get to get a milk shake 😎
@@watermelon_boi HAHA I won't. Geez I wanna get in the car right now and head to Austin I want it so bad.
When I clicked on the video I thought "Why is this ad 37 minutes without a skip button!" Lol then I realized this was the video and that was my city XD
Amazing video and genuine, funny itinerary. Also thanks for the subtitle!
Robert, I am sure how I came across your video but, wow I really enjoyed it. I'm gonna watch some more of them! Great job brother!!!
"so many people kayaking in the river". That's the problem with Austin - its overcrowded. You can't find solitude anywhere
you can, it may be a little tough, but you just have to know when and where to find it.
As a Austinite who was born here, yeah surprisingly you can find solitude however those areas aren't common. When I used to do urban exploration I found certain parks, trails and areas that other people didn't visit,jog or walk at.
Yeah plenty of offshoot trails on the violet crown trail that are 90% private even on a Saturday. I love exploring them and listening to audiobooks it’s a great way to get away from the hustle and bustle but still be close to the city
Overcrowded? There's only 2million people in the metro area alone.
All just weird and can't handle the big city life
If you have lived in San Francisco, Austin feels like a deserted small ghost town. Austin is a small city. Sorry folks. Don't pride yourself in claiming its populated. Its not even a top 10 city in the nation, and it never will.
I live 3.5 hours from Austin, but we have not explored in Austin. Thanks for your very detailed vlog!
I enjoyed seeing all the interesting places you visited. Austin is a lovely city, and the people there are so nice.🙂 The river is lovely but for a minute there the name confused me. The tour of the capital was cool. Thanks again for sharing.🙂
very nice except for 👨✈️
Never been there but thanks to you, I wanna explore Austin and San Antonio! 👍😀
San Antonio is where Culture...Arts n Big City mixes well.
Woot Woot!! Great episode buddy! Glad you enjoyed Austin. Wow look at all those Airstreams! I might be a little partial toward those. LOL!
Wow, I can't be believe how many people came to see a bunch of bats , no thanks! But the rest of Austin seems pretty cool. Thanks for the tour😊
Of all the places to eat in Austin, you went to a Whataburger! That's funny my friend. Hey, at least you won your own chili cook off! Thumbs up!
Very timely video. My wife and I and a couple of friends will be visiting Austin next year. We also plan on retiring in the Austin general area in a couple of years. Last year, we visited the DFW area. We are currently in Maryland. I have saved your video and will be revisiting it again as a reminder of what places to visit in Austin. Keep producing these wonderful videos.
The only city in Texas I have not visited. Looks pretty amazing and thriving. Maybe I will be there in May to see Steely Dan!
Its my favorite place in the world.. I miss it so much💜
Me too. I moved away when I was 12, and I'm 34 now. 22 years later Austin still has a huge place in my heart.
great video, perfect quality, nicely narrated.
We love Austin and plan to spend at least a month there. This video was great! It's a really great way of getting an idea of all the awesome things to do in Austin.
Lou & Angie 💚💜
Glad you liked it
@@TravelingRobert We love all your videos!
Love your video. From now I will looking at your videos
Thanks for sharing Robert
Thanks for a great tour of Texas just wanted to drop by and say hello have a great weekend 👍😎🍺
Thank you, you too
One of my favorite cities in the U.S.
Great video Robert!!
Another GREAT job Robert , your videos are always very informative ,well edited and just gotta LOVE the music :) PEACE mister
Watching and enjoying your new video with my 2,5 years son that already sing the opening song hahaha
Gracias Robert!!! Tú vídeo me va a servir de mucho, porque el año que viene nos mudamos a Texas y estoy viendo dónde llegar si a Cypress, the woodlands o Austin, pero ahora con ese vídeo creo estar más convencido con Austin... Gracias
No vengas aqui ya no cabemos mucho trafico mejor muevete mas al Norte por culpa de foreanos Austin mi ciudad se llena mas de trafico.. Go away..!
Austin was awesome and you captured it so well! From the quaint little campground nestled in the heart of downtown to the state capitol building and everywhere in between. I've never been to Austin but it's definitely on the list now! The Oasis on Lake Travis looked especially inviting! 👍🏼
I lived in Austin for 38 years. Was a great place to be young. Couldn't wait to get the Hell out of there as a 50+ year old. Paradise lost.
That being said, I was eager to see your segment A lot of my stomping grounds were in the video.
LIVED IN AUSTIN ALL MY LIFE DO NOT EAT THE TERRIBLE FOOD AT THE OASIS PLACE TO DRINK AND WATCH SUNSET🍷👤
I recently discovered Traveling Robert and his fabulous videos and music. Like him putting a sticker on each state he visits, I am going to post this comment on all the videos I watch! You da man, Robert!!
Great video! Thanks for sharing!
Love cooking segment.
Howdy Robert,thanks a lot for sharing yet another brilliant video here which I thoroughly enjoyed watching as usual when coming from you.Awesome views, excellent comment and very entertaining background music, as always.A real 'titbit' to relish on a Sunday afternoon.Best wishes and cordial greetings from William across the Big Pond.
Another nice video. good work Robert.
Awesome video Robert. I enjoy watching Austin and your Narration.
I want that pedalboard from the street musician :( haha good video Robert, greetings again from Colombia
another great video Robert!
Was just traveling through Austin to San Antonio. Was in traffic jams the entire drive all the way to San Antonio
San Antonio keeps getting Bigger n Bigger. Austin is too crowded now. It used to be a get away from San Antonio back in the day.Too much Hype!
Awesome as always Sir!
I don't know how anyone could give you a thumbs down! I really enjoy your travels and hope to do the same very soon!
Robert, your cooking is quite good and I bet you that eating in the RV is even more cozy and the food tastes great. Nice that your wife joins you from time to time, makes the trip even more pleasant. I am watching all the series you published and Having a lot of great ideas where to go when I happen to be in the area. Sometimes I see that you carry the Go-Pro does it also have zoom? Greetings from Oregon.
Awesome Video!! Thanks.
HI Robert and Ili !!! Once again a very enjoyable video !!!! Your content - including exceptional audio and video are really too good for UA-cam !! You deserve a cable channel !!! I do look forward to all your creations !!! So glad Ili agreed to include a photo of you both !!! Such a nice couple - you both are so supportive of each other - so nice to see these days !!!! I know you miss having her with you !!! That cooking class looked delicious. As always - your videos are the best, and I look forward to each and every one !!! The effort and expertise shows in every one !!!!! Thank you !!
Can’t believe you didn’t check out The White Horse honky tonk. Major miss there
Your Texas videos are marvelous.
You're very lucky to have seen bats. I don't know about Austin but here in PA we had 6 species of bats and according to sources 99 percent of these bats have been decimated by White Nose Syndrom.
Amazing the numbers of people turning out to watch this natural phenomenon in Austin.
Brought back memories, as a young man I fished French Creek in Franklin, PA. Evenings and early mornings one could watch thousands of these mamals as they exited or returned to their hibernaculum inside water intakes along the banks of the creek.
Thanks for the memories Robert. Safe travels and Austin TX is now on our "where to" list.
We are "The Griswolds" on RV Vacation.
Austin is beautiful love this videos, mi friend work in austin , thank you Robert. from honduras. sorry speak englis no moch.
Just makes me want to spend a week in the Capital of Texas
" They didn't get the memo we were coming, so it's closed"
Hilarious!!! Re: Texas State buildings particular parts.
Have driven though Austin many times and have hated it, as well as Houston, traffic is terrible. Now I see i will have to slow down and get off the beaten path. Next trip Austin!
Austin was nice, and I didn't think the traffic was as bad a Houston. The problem with Houston is that it goes on forever.
traffic is bad at a certain time like 5pm its just when everyone is coming home
Anybody else’s mouth watering during Roberts cooking show?
Robert, thanks for your wonderful travel channel.
To Ileana, I would enjoy hearing you comment in the episodes you travel in. Even if it's just brief. Please! Please! Please! I look forward to the moments I see the two of you together. It's such a family moment.
I liked vdio I happy see this vidio! Thanks you so much
While on vacation in Puerto Rico, walking on a board walk near a beach and a light house, as I walked under a light post that had a dome cover about 6 bats 🦇 started skreeching and all flew out. I screamed, ducked and ran soo fast!!! I’d pass on ever waiting to see bats fly out of anywhere 😂. I was just hired as a Flight Attendant and I am looking forward to when I will visit Texas. Great Video 👏🏼👍👏🏼.
I missed that hotel when I visited!
been watching these backwards from the most recent.... and .... mmmmm.... whataburger.... since leaving Texas, somehow I am always now 500+ miles from a Whataburger.... after eating it most days of the week from week. But do agree, in Austin downtown, there are a lot of great options around, and of course a lot of great music at night.
You should've gone to Barton Springs Pool - it's walking distance from the RV park where you stayed :)
We should have. I've heard of that place
@@TravelingRobert there's also a beautiful sculpture garden just before you get to Zilker Park - Umlauf Sculpture Garden. Just past Zilker Park, there's Zilker Botanical Gardens and the Austin Nature and Science Center.
Hamilton pool is a beautiful place you should check that out
I love you dude!! You do a great job
Austin vivo entire desde ase 23 años y qui sigo chulo esta ciudad
no se te entiende ni monja.
Thanks for visiting my fair city. I hope you enjoyed yourself
Sure did. Thanks
In the 90s the bats were literally a huge black cloud rolling out from underneath the bridge
The best of Austin is Ruby’s cocina, s. Congress and Cumberland
Awesome video!
Great Video!
Robert how diff was the heat is Austin compared to Miami in June? Great video
Dry vs humid
I would have recommended a place called the ABGB it’s a great beer garden
