Our time in Cape Town amazing! 🤩 Food tour was epic and I it first helicopter flight with that view 😮 our best holiday by a long shot! 💙💙
Hell yeah it was 🤙🏼🤩
I am from Kenya and I went to Cape Town last year after watching Dave Mani’s blog. Loved it so much that am going back this month!!
Hello, cape town is great isn’t it we loved it and can’t wait to return. We love Dave Manis videos and his videos are the reason we want to visit your country one day :) Have a great time in Cape Town :)
Ellie’s face when she drank mqombothi got me🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hehehe 🤭 it’s brilliant isn’t it normally I’m the one pulling the faces with drinks it’s an acquired taste loved it 😋. Thank you so much for watching 💙
Just starting to watch your South Africa series. Great first video, love how emotional Ellie is at the start, shows how much travel means to you both.
Totally forgot about the shocking delay you had with BA, nightmare. We’ve never really had any good experiences with them either. Always delayed.
Looking forward to watching the rest of the videos. 🤗
Thank you Beckie. It was such a special trip, one we had been waiting for a very long time but it was definitely worth the wait 🥰
It was a shower of something alright. Will try our hardest to not fly with them again to be honest. It was the lack of communication which made us angry!
Hopefully you enjoy the rest of the series, especially the safari parts 🥰
We have been so looking forward to your Cape Town series as we are going in November and staying in the waterfront - super excited!🎉
Terrible from BA - worrying for us as we are also flying with them😬
Thank you for showing the Charles Cafe - we have that on our list as really want to try their famous bobotie too.
Looking forward to the rest of your Cape Town series!
We absolutely loved Cape Town can’t wait to go back when the weather is better, you’ll love it 🤩
Ahh I think we just got super unlucky to be honest but it was just the way BA handled it was shocking. Definitely one we won’t forget in a hurry 😆 I’m sure you’ll be fine.
Ohh yes you must try the Bobotie it was sooooo good 🤤
Thank you for watching i hope you enjoy the rest of the series and it gives you some ideas for your upcoming trip 🥰
Sorry to see you had the delay with poor communication but Cape Town looks awesome ❤️
It’s annoying we lost a whole day in Cape Town and the worst thing was the poor communication but it makes for memories and one we will never forget 😆
We loved Cape Town and can’t wait to return one day 🤞🏼
Wooo travel day. Love travel day and the lead up to it. Sorry to hear you were delayed in London but looks like your first day in Cape Town was worth the wait. Looking forward to the next one.
It’s the best isn’t it unless you get delayed like we did 🤣 but hey makes for memories and glad we finally made it after 4 years and boy it was worth the wait!
Thank you for watching and your support as always 🥰
Nice video, Cape Town is absolutely beautiful! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you. Yes we loved Cape Town, can’t wait to return is the summer time :)
Thank you for watching ☺️
Watched the whole thing! Very cool, loved the cup you bought at the end👍
Thanks for watching and thanks again for the awesome footage of the heli tour :)
We have a slight obsession with collecting these mugs where ever we travel to 🙈
Just back from our travels and starting to catch up with these vlogs - had us in stitches - so glad the delay did not spoil the trip to much
I hope you had a lovely holiday :)
It was so frustrating that the communication was pants but definitely didn’t ruin our trip ☺️
It's currently Spring in South Africa.(September is Spring)
We went to South Africa in July which is their winter period
Aww such a shame about your flight, it's a travellers nightmare 😢but glad you enjoyed a jam packed first day. Looking forward to the next one x
Aww thank you we didn’t know whether to cry or not we were so shocked and they handled it so badly too no comms from BA we’ve added them to our no fly list now ❌. We still had the most magical and best holiday ever so we didn’t let it ruin it. Also BA did pay out full compensation to us aswell 👌🏼 💙. Thank you so much for watching 💙💙💙
Cape Town looks amazing but that travel ‘two days’ with BA 😳 OMG, can understand why you wouldn’t want to go away with them again!
You did have me laughing out loud with that light in the lounge tho 🤣
Those doughnuts on the food tour looked lush!
Looking forward to the rest of the vlogs!🤩xx
We loved Cape Town and will definitely return 🥰 honestly it was a shower of crap. We get these things happen but the communication was shocking just wished they would have handled it better but it made it very memorable I guess 😆
The looks he was getting in the lounge 🤣 but y’know got to keep us entertained 😆
Ohhhhh the doughnuts we keep talking about them and the food tour was so good would definitely do it again :)
Thank you so much for watching 🥰 x
Ellie you both are living nans dreams xxx
She would love to have seen these videos 🥰
So awesome to see you guys came to Cape Town - have watched all the Mauritius videos for a trip we just did to mauritius and now I see you travelling around my home town :)
Hey ☺️ thanks you so much for watching, CT is truly our favourite city and South Africa 🇿🇦 is our favourite country of all time so far too. You South Africans make it plus we love your accents 🤭💙
So happy to hear that! we love sharing this amazing place with you all - Please keep doing your videos - you are so watchable and so informative! your recommendations for mauritius made our holiday!
@@JamesandElliesAdventures
Aww you’re more than welcome glad our videos helped out aswell that’s nice to hear thank you 🤩 and thanks we don’t hear that very often it’s humbling to hear thank you Michael 💙
Glad you enjoyed your time here. I live in Cape Town and haven't heard of that drink 😆 , its been a while since I last visited the Waterfront, it is lovely there. And happy 30th!
We love your city and our favourite city by far 🤩 yes the waterfront area is lovely but can’t wait to come back to see and do more! Thank you for the birthday wishes and thank you for watching ☺️
Umqombothi (African beer), by Yvonne Chaka Chaka,
ua-cam.com/video/ZZAWo_K3yNA/v-deo.html
Main ingredients (Varies by province / what's available) :
mielie meal, sorghum, and water
Omg 😂😂😂 What to do at an airport on your own in a box chair with a special light…..PARTY ON YOUR OWN 🎉🎉🎉🎉 Loved it!
Oh guys, I really felt for you watching this. What a s**t sham, WOW……it’s not like they are a small, new company either……shambles! I hoped you enjoyed your compo money while away….although it doesn’t make up for lost holiday time 😢 Cannot believe you got left aswell without clean pants!!!! 🫣🤔🤫🙄
Be BA aware people!!!❌🛑❌🆘🚫
The food tour looked fab….I had food envy 😂😂😂
Haha got to keep ourselves entertained somehow and james was my entertainment 🤣
Ahhh it was honestly so shocking how they handled it. We understand these things happen but the communication was just awful which was why we were so angry. Ohhh yes we definitely did enjoy the money lol can’t actually believe they paid out to honest but so annoying we lost a whole day in Cape Town but just means we have to go back and do the things we didn’t get round to doing 🤩
We have learnt our lesson always pack a pair of clean pants in our hand luggage just in case 😆 atleast we had clean teeth and faces though 🤣 can’t say we would rush to fly with them again to say the least 🤣
The food tour was soooo good, it’s such a good way to try things that you would never usually try and definitely going to try and do a food tour where ever we go now! The doughnuts were amazing still dreaming about them now 🤤😆
Thank you for watching Kezza we love your comments 🥰
Oh guys you lived each and every travellers nightmare delayed 14.5 hours! 😱 British airways should re brand and change the “B” to “SH” 😂. So glad your living it up and and making the most of being their awesome cannot wait to follow along the rest of the trip too.
Still can’t believe it to be honest but I guess it makes for some memories we will never forget 😆😳
We absolutely loved Cape Town can’t wait to go back 🥰
Love him xxx
🥰
Loved this video. Honest reviews. British airways. 😡
Looked a wonderful day after your nightmare journey. Did you book the hotel upon arrival?
We had the best time and it was worth the wait 😬. No all this was booked with our agents as part of a package holiday and they sorted out arranging transfers and notified the hotel and everything making it all so less stressful really grateful for them 👌🏼. Hotels in good location and V&A is safe too for night time wondering about. Thank you so much for watching Chris 💙
Sorry about you catching the Europa tipped over on your camera - not a great advertisement for our level of competency at our ports.
Hey 👋🏻 we didn’t even notice the ship like that to be honest 🤷🏼♂️ we thought it was like something was placed there on purpose.
Thanks for watching 🙂
Im heading to cape town in July this year. Did you book flights and hotel
Hey 👋🏻 yeah we booked it as a package in one. Something we do a lot in 🇬🇧. We’re actually going back to Capetown this December you’ll love it 😍.
Thank you so much for watching and happy new year to you 🥳
@@JamesandElliesAdventures thanks what the name of the hotel?
You’re more than welcome it’s the Radison Red, we stayed at would definitely recommend it great location too 🙂
I think going abroad on holiday now is getting more stressful. You never know until your up in the air that you actually going.
We never made it to the Maldives last year. Qatar moved our flight by 15mins the day before, next day they so called cancelled the flight. Tui said if we paid an extra £3000 we could still go! This was because even though we booked through Tui they were getting out of it as Qatar wasn't their light.
I can't believe they swapped you from Heathrow to Gatwick for the night.
James can i ask how tall you are? As we were looking at BA next year. Grandson is 6ft 2, so was wondering if the extra leg room is a waste of time.
Loving this vlog.
Awww Doodles were so happy to hear from you 😍 me and Elles were thinking about you a few weeks ago actually hoping your ok and everything as we haven’t heard from you in ages. Made us smile ear to ear seeing your comment 🥰.
I’m gutted 😞 you couldn’t go Maldives it’s sooo mega expensive now we’ve looked a few times too. Heard a lot with TUI and Qatar messing flights around their awful for doing it.
Aww BA was an absolute S*it show, they paid up a few weeks ago and gave us £1,044 in compensation which was a result we thought we were going to have to argue black and blue with them to be honest.
So the aircraft we were in the B777 the leg room was nice but not width wise if you don’t mind being in a narrow seat. I’m 6ft and Broad shouldered if you don’t mind being like a T-Rex with your cutlery trying to eat then you’ll be fine but I hated it worst 12 hour flight poor ellie had a big 6ft 5 guy next to her to so she was sandwiched the whole flight lol.
They charged us £124 each for the extra legroom for both flights nearly £500! 😱 the cost of what it cost us to go Malta each and with some spending money. Just hate how greedy airlines have gotten recently 😤. Hope your doing okay though and thank you so much for watching and supporting as always 💙💙💙💙
@JamesandElliesAdventures bless you guys. Poor Ellie.
That's absolutely disgusting on top of a flight for extra leg room. It's not as if it's much, either. Wont be long, and we will be stood up flying!
Just looked at flights for us it's over £9000! Economy to Dominic Republic.! Would have been able to fly business for that not long ago.( not that we ever have)
Makes me angrey the price of oil, has gone down , yet we still pay through the nose for transport.
Where are you guys off to next?
Just going to binge watch your vlogs ❤️
Aww Jesus! £9k they do take the Mickey don’t they 🥺 I think all the airlines and that are making up for lost profit from 2020/2021 it’s mental I hope it calms down and they don’t AoE us travellers for granted hey.
Aww bless you thank you ☺️ just don’t watch Ibiza videos they are the worst ever! Lol. We’re off to Thailand in December with our 2 friends so that’ll be fun 😆 my mate he terrified of flying and he’s bigger than me so I’ll have to hold his hand haha.
We’re doing Phuket, elephant hills Al then Khao Lak in December cannot wait and we’ve booked Singapore and Bali for next July 🤓 Asia is good to book at the mo good prices for nice hotels etc too.
@JamesandElliesAdventures Thailand is another place I would love to go. Can't seem to find anything to do with families though, think it's more grownups.
One thing, though, please don't ride the elephants. They have their babies taken and are beaten until they accept it.
Top of my list was to bathe an elephant until I found out a lot go down the same route😥
When's the best time for Asia( next year) not rainy season?
Ibiza vlogs to start with it is then😁
Ohh god we don’t take part or do anything that involves animal cruelty elephant hills is a high top rated attractions and doesn’t allow bathing or riding of elephants and it’s ethical if not we certainly wouldn’t do it. 7 years of research to go Thailand for us off umming and arghing over that period.
Hmm I’m not sure if it is families do go Thailand but it’s not really an all inclusive place I know how fussy kids can be I was a nightmare of just chips all the time when I was little lol.
Ohhhh no 😰 you can tell us how awful the Ibiza ones are we don’t even watch them back it’s that bad 🫣 🙃 hehe.
We call them Shitish Airways. Nothing but bad experiences with them and the last one was the final straw. Got completely abandoned and left to fend for ourselves with disgusting attitude from the staff and then had to go down legal route to get compensation we had every right to that they refused to pay. We have said we'd rather walk than fly them again. They only seem to care about you if you're flying First.
Haha we’re not the only ones that call them that then 😆 that’s terrible to just abandon you and agreed with the attitude of the BA staff we also experienced this. We’re used to flying with Emirates and the staff are so much nicer think we will stick to flying with them in future where possible. Did you end up getting the compensation you were owed?
Haha with you on that one would also rather walk 😆
@@JamesandElliesAdventures yes but we had to go through something called CEDR who basically forced BA to pay out as they just ignored us. We got dumped at an airport at the other end of the country after a 6 hour delay during the train strikes with no transport sorted and when we asked how we were meant to get home they literally said 'not our problem' and locked themselves in a room so as not to have to deal with anyone!
@laurenh9004 oh my that’s awful. Great you did get compensation in the end but you shouldn’t have had to go down that route! Shocking behaviour 😳
Wow that’s bad no wonder you would rather walk than fly with them, the worst airline we have flown with to be honest!
