    It's always great to see Kate, she never fails to make me smile. Hope Kate and Rufus stay safe as well!

    Its always good to see the lovely Kate. Her smile can brighten anybody's day.

    For not liking being on camera Rufus is a natural and, of course, Kates smile lights up any room. Caves creep me out but this was very well done and, thanks to you guys, I now never have to go there. Hope you get back to the boat soon.

    So wonderful to see Kate's smiling face again. Stuck in the house. Watching your adventures brings so much joy. Thank you. Safe travels

    Another great view of a wold few get to visit. Thanks for that. The best line..."will we ever grow up?" I hope that part of you both never grows up, for in my experience, staying in touch with the little child in one is a healthy way to look back on innocent and happy days. Balance.

    We honeymooned in SA - drove CT to Knysna then back - and recognised a few of these places. What a country it is, and such friendly people along the coast. Thanks for the tour.

    I've done a lot of spelunking in "wild" caves - squeezing and crawling, mud and water, and headlamps. But I've never seen a commercial tour that was anything other than paved walks, steps and handrails! Very cool!!!

  • @marni246
    @marni246 4 роки тому

    The cavern was gorgeous but when it got to the crouched down and/or squeeze through sections, I had to keep reminding myself to breathe. Not sure my claustrophobia would ever allow me to do this in person. South Africa is one of my favourite places I’ve ever been to, so thank you for sharing ❤️

  • @agc812

    Wow that brought back a lot of wonderful memories. My wife is from Stellenbosch and we get there every few years. That is one of my favorite places on the planet. Great land, wonderful people, fantastic food and some of the most majestic natural beauty you can find. Thanks.

  • @grantpritchard7492
    @grantpritchard7492 4 роки тому

    Thanks you Wynns, that was great. I know I should be focused on the natural aspects of that cave experience but I couldn't stop thinking about the park rangers that had to haul all that stainless steel railing, formwork for the concrete steps and the electrical cabling into that tight space. All to make it more enjoyable for those that visit, like yourselves. So big thanks to them too.

    Hi guys, what an amazing vlog.. Accidently stumbled across your vlog whilst watching a canal vlog and I must it's been great entertaining through this dire lockdown period in the UK.. I started watching from the day u guys went shopping for your boat 3 yrs ago.. And followed every episode upto poor man's galapagus yet and still more to come.. Its great to see how you guys have transformed into sailors from hard graft.... So just like to say, thank you for all the effort you guys put into your vlogs..

  • @johnd746
    @johnd746 4 роки тому +2

    I have been through a number of caves, and recently went through Carlsbad Cavern, but never was able to go through the tight spaces like you just experienced. Quite the adventure. So far Kate is doing a good job of being a tourist guide.

  • @JanakiBananaki
    @JanakiBananaki 4 роки тому +51

    "The crawly little tiny spaces were super cool!"
    Sweet Baby Jesus! The only thing that got me through the video was the happy music. Without that, I would have been in full blown panic attack from just watching. LOL! I had to watch to the end to see you all emerge from the cave. I am deep breathing to calm myself down. Hahahaha!

    • @gonewiththewynns
      @gonewiththewynns  4 роки тому +6

      😆😆 Glad the music helped at least.

    • @fillg
      @fillg 4 роки тому +2

      The big open areas were really cool but when it got to those tiny spaces I kind of involuntarily said "nope" and decided to look away for a minute or two.

    The difference in the light from northern to southern hemisphere is quite striking. So might brighter and sharper shadows in the southern hemisphere.

    • @gonewiththewynns
      @gonewiththewynns  4 роки тому

      Could also be because it was still summer when they filmed this? Just a guess.

    I *smiled* through the entire episode! Loved seeing y'all back together with Kate again. Fun to meet Rufus. (I had missed the previous Rufus episodes...I'll have to catch up. =) And this area of South Africa completely reminds me of the California Central Coast and Wine Country, one of my favorite happy places. Thank You for this episode during these days! I can completely see this being one of my favorite escapes in the next weeks and months. Cheers! Wishing you all good health and safety, wherever you are!

When you said Mossel Bay reminds you of the California Central Coast, I had to comment as that's where I now call home. Glad you got to see my part of the world, which, by the way has excellent Pinot Noir! Would love to see you back here some day and be the host for your excursions!

    @deanie3246 4 роки тому

    That was really great thank you. Due to my injury I’ll never get to see these spots myself so thank you for expanding my mind for me. I’m very greatful. What I feel is a difference in your channel is you are always exploring, not just sitting on a beach. That’s nice too, however seeing places and locations that I won’t see on a tv documentary is wonderful. Your island visits felt like documentaries which were wonderfully real, not like today where everything is pc and only the fantastically wonderful or fantastically horrible is shown. You guys are real. Thank you very much.🐨🦘

    Good decision to make the point when this was filmed. We tried to put date in description of our video, but I guess some people don’t read the description. Very cool you made such a long trip just to go see friends. You guys go to some amazing places. Maybe once we finish RVing, we will travel internationally like you guys. What a cool place for a house. Caves. I’ve only been in one. Awesome. I guess white shirt not a good idea 😅. Oooh small spaces. How do you not get lost? Thanks for sharing. (RV DMC) Alice
