Being South African I'll tell you this for free: South Africa in December is a party everyday everywhere. If you want to really enjoy places like Cape Town and actually do activities without crowds come anytime between January and April or September and November
Good to know. But I was't able to change that. I am travelling around the world and cannot time my trips that well. "The closest country is next" obviously, no matter at which time. :) And I really really enjoyed my time in Cape Town!!
Stunning! I hope you made good memories in Cape Town. You, portrait it very well. I live here and the city and Franschoek is the best places. Truly a bit of heaven! Looks like you stayed in a nice air bubble in Cape Town. I love Simonstown and enjoy swimming by the penguins..so amazing!
Before 2024 ends, it looks like we can have an entire video review of all the chocolate you've had around the world! haha That egg sandwhich thing looked amazing. Tina's going around the world, and making all of us hungry!
Haha xD most countries sell the same chocolate brands! But I love the variety compared to Tokyo. :) Next year I will slow down a little and hopefully have more time to film and post a larger variety of content
Oh wow Kapstadt und die Kapregion sind einfach wunderschön und stehen auch bei mir ganz weit oben auf meiner Travel List. Ein richtig schönes Fleckchen Erde ☺️
Nicht wahr! Landschaftlich gesehen, bisher meine Nummer 1! Wobei ich ja in anderen Laendern auch noch nicht alles gesehen habe. Aber die Berge! Und das Meer auf der anderen Seite! Einfach wunderschoen! :)
The water mightve been off due to a water pipe burst. I remember the new year starting out with no water due to a pipe burst in Wynberg. I live in Tokai and was without water for days. We had to collect water from water trucks. A lot of areas were affected. Ever since that specific pipe burst, this year has had a few more pipe bursts happen which is unusual. It has nothing to do with loadshedding :)
I know it's not related to load shedding :) obviously. It just reminded me of that topic you know? Must be so frustrating to have no water for so long. 😫
Glad you had a great time in Cape Town. I live in Johannesburg and avoid going to Cape Town during the December holidays - there are too many people there. You visited South Africa at a good time: it was summer and load shedding was suspended through most of December so you would not have experienced it at all. You mentioned that you're on a budget, so I think I should let your viewers know that there are a ton more things to do! The City Sightseeing tour bus is a great way to see most of Cape Town for cheaply. You can hop on and off wherever you please. I've done paragliding, took a boat trip to Robben Island, hiking, swam with sharks...lots of other activities.
I could have mentioned more things maybe. But there are also lots of other videos that show you other places :) But I talked about the sightseeing bus about twice :) But yeah, I want to see more places in Cape Town!! ✨ It's a beautiful city!!
@@gstar3569 They're visiting friends and family down at the coast. I personally would rather head out to Bali or Bangkok during the December holidays. Flight tickets to Cape Town are insane this time of year.
So you mentioned you were on a budget. You could have hiked up table mountain. It takes about 2 hours. Lions had is an easier shorter hike but also had amazing late afternoon views.
@@tinahuegelYes, it would need enough time more than the right shoes, for your shoes looked fine: it's a paved stairway up to the paved footpaths on top, etc. But..., those penguins! There is another penguin colony in the Cape besides Boulders Beach, at Betty's Bay, which is a bit quieter too.
That is a wonderful place in Cape Town. Besides swimming and hiking, the nature is also beautiful. As a chocolate lover, I would love to see different kinds from around the world.
I like cape town so much but when I decided to visit it , I've seen alot of comments saying it not safe special at evening then I decide to cancel it , what do think tina !
It's safe. It's absolutely safe. Don't cancel your trips bc of what others say. Do some research and prepare your trip and then your fine. And then again... Cape Towns safe! Things can happen in absolutely any country.
It's safe. Cape Town is in general very safe, BUT you need to be careful no matter where you are. For example, don't go alone at night, be careful in certain areas, do some research on which places to avoid etc. Goes for every city. 😊And there are tourist buses in Cape Town that will definitely be safe.
@tinahuegel thank you 💜 I would rather not uber everywhere if it's safe to use the city buses in the day. Did you feel safe in Bo Kaap? There was a video advising not to go alone.
@@justanotherchick2701 Yes, as I mentioned. It's safe :) Yes, Bo Kaap was fine. In general, I felt safe in Cape Town. It's a beautiful city. Try to stay connected to people, tell people where you go, have your phone with you just in case (but keep it in your bag in public places). In Bo Kaap you will see other tourists as well.
@@justanotherchick2701 It can be scary. :) Try to be a little careful. But other than that, try to enjoy your trip. There are many foreigners in Cape Town. :) Maybe there are some Expat groups on facebook or sth. where you can meet people or ask questions as well.

Avondale is in Paarl, not Franschhoek. :)
Aha! Can't remember what I said in the video. :)
Can you share your Airbnb details in Capetown?
Mmh no, sorry. But you can find similar good Airbnbs on Airbnb ...
Hi loadshedding is gone now they fixed the problems.
Completely gone? That's amazing 😶
didn't know that u can see penguins on a beach!!:3
Haha xD Welcome to Africa :) 😊✨
Amazed you were filming freely heard it’s not safe
If you're careful it's fine! :)
Welcome to my country, but I am in Johannesburg.
Thanks :) I'm now in Kenya!
tina you also started vlogging
About 7 years ago ... yes.
あけましておめでとう
明けましておめでとう⛩😊✨
As a South South African citizen one thing I can tell you is that Cape Town is a very nice place you can ever visit to explore.
It is ☺️
Camps Bay looks like Miami Beach
Haha ok xD
Is it safe to go on the bus as a tourist? I've read in a lot places that it's best to avoid public transport. Is that true or just paranoia?
It's safe. Cape Town is in general very safe, BUT you need to be careful no matter where you are. For example, don't go alone at night, be careful in certain areas, do some research on which places to avoid etc. Goes for every city. 😊And there are tourist buses in Cape Town that will definitely be safe.
