I love the way you travel!!! 😉😀
How wonderful is this, I love it….everything about this is a bit of me 😊
I was planning on going for a run, but after 4 minutes of watching this, I've opened a bottle of Amarone. Camberley looks very beautiful, and the views at Bartinney were unbelievable, I bet it would make any drink taste better.
Thanks for sharing guys
Can't believe the size of those pours! Looks like you two had a BLAST. Can't imagine how you stayed upright after such wonderful fllghts of wine. The scenery is stupendous! And oysters, OMG!
Wow! This wine adventure looks right up our alley. You do such a great job with your videos and your wine knowledge – we appreciate your sense of humor too. We were actually considering a trip to Africa next year. For this wine adventure, did you stay in the town of Franschhoek? And did you fly from Kenya to Cape Town and then drive to Franschhoek? Thank you for any information.
