The Most Wholesome Place in South Africa 🇿🇦 vA 180

Before leaving Hermanus, I go to have an amazing breakfast at my favorite place in Hermanus, in the Western Cape, in South Africa. After that, I start my ride towards Cape Agulhas, the Southernmost point in Africa. On my way, I meet 2 very friendly Burundians before stopping for lunch at a remote padstal where I can recharge my battery and where I get to discover the old Afrikaners world. Such a fascinating journey. Most of the video is in the padstal, where I am less than 100 km from my final destination Southwards.
What a joy it is to ride in South Africa.

my rain jacket, it stops raining. I stopped to remove my jacket,
and it’s raining again. F*/*/*ing hell. Oh, putain! So we’re just gonna go to the farm stall
here to have lunch. F*/*/*ing hell The rain follows me basically. Padstal restaurant. Open. My god. – Good afternoon! – Good afternoon!
– How are you? – Very good. How are you? – I’ve got no complaints.
Thank you! – Great. Do you have food here? – Yes, we have lots of food. – Perfect.
– Home-cooked. Come and have a seat. – Awesome. And… My bicycle is electric.
Could I also recharge my battery? Do you have a socket? – Yes.
– Okay, great. – Welcome to you. But where the sockets are…
How long is your lead? How long is your lead? – I can take
the battery away. – Okay, perfect. – So I can bring it inside,
no? I guess. – Great. – Okay. Thank you very much!
– You’re most welcome. Here we go. I need to protect this from the rain. There you go. Ah, perfect. – Where are you cycling from?
– France. – Oh! All the way? – All the way. Yes. Through Africa?
– Yes. – Down the continent? – Yeah. I’m at the end. I’m just going
to Cape Agulhas now. – Let me just check for you. Let me plug it in for you.
How does that sound? – Okay. – I will find a spot. – Okay, great. – Great. – Thank you.
– You can have a seat. – Okay, to… For the battery itself, I guess… Well, you’ll tell me because you need
to open something when… – Okay. Do you wanna come around and help me
here? – Yeah, okay. It’s hidden. It’s just hidden here. – That’s it.
– Great. – Charging. – Okay. Fantastic. Sometimes it comes off, so… Okay. – No problem. – Thank you
very much! – You’re most welcome. She’s curious. – She’s curious
about what’s… – Yeah, what that is for. – Oh, what is it? – And I was
like, “Oh, this one…” – There is even an Afrikaans menu.
– Yeah, the Afrikaans… – Look at that. All in Afrikaans. Beautiful old place. I love it here. What are tripe and trotters? What’s it? – That is usually
like the insides of the… – Okay. Oh, so it’s the… Yeah. Oh, afval.
– Of the cow. – It’s the same word. Okay. – Exactly. The one side is just English,
the other one – Afrikaans. – Okay. And waterblom stew, what’s that? – It’s like a waterlily that we get
in this area. – What? – A waterlily. – A waterlily? – Yes, and we cook… – The flower? – Yes, and we cook it
with lamb in a stew with rice. – Okay, I’ll try this one. Yeah. – It’s
very good. Netta made it herself. – Okay. – And anything to drink? – Yes. Do you have juice? – Yes, we do.
– What fruit? – I believe it’s orange. – Orange. Is it fresh juice,
or is it a bottled…? – Yeah. – Ah, okay. Berry smoothie is…
– Berry smoothie… Totsiens, [name]! – Totsiens. – Berry smoothie
is really good. She doesn’t add any extra sugar.
– Yeah. – Okay. – Yes, yes. – I’ll go for a berry smoothie then. Okay.
– Een berry smoothie en een waterlelie. – Okay. – And I’ll get water as well.
– Of course. Still or sparkling? – Still. – Would you like a smaller bottle
or the 1.5? – I’ll go for… Yeah, let’s get a big one. – 1.5.
Yeah. No problem. – Thank you. I love this place, guys. It’s funny.
You just go a little bit inland. And you discover immediately
the old Afrikaners’ world, after all the fanciness of the coast. Look, some biltong. Oh, nice. Thank you very much.
– [Speaks Afrikaans] – Ah? Okay. Oh, yes. It spilled a little bit. Do you have a…? Thank you
very much. – Okay. Ooh, very nice. – Ah? – Ooh! Nice. – Very nice. Yeah. – Yes. – Let’s start with the smoothie. Oh, it’s really good. Amazing. – So which way are you going now?
– I’m going to Napier. – Napier? – Napier. – Yeah, that way. – Yeah, I’m…
– Straight… – And then to Cape Agulhas. – And what? – Cape Agulhas. Cape Agulhas.
– The most southern point. Yeah. – Exactly. So it’s kind of
the natural end. Yeah. – Wonderful! – So I’m almost done.
– How long have you been driving? – Three and a half years. – Whoa. Whoa! And in the meantime, you just stopped
as you went, and then you stayed… – Yeah, yeah. I went very slowly,
so I stopped many times. – Great. So you’ve got some bit of a rest because
you can’t be on the go all the time. – No, no. In the long term…
For a few months, you can, but… Over six months, maybe. I don’t know.
At some point, you get burned out. Yeah. – No, of course. You just need
to rest, especially your body. – You need to rest and not see things
and just… Yeah, it doesn’t work. – Shut down, at least. – Yeah, exactly.
Yeah. – Crazy! Three and a half months. Which countries did you go through?
– In Africa? – From the top to the bottom. – Egypt, Sudan, Ethiopia, Kenya.
Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Tanzania, Zambia, Botswana, Namibia. – Okay,
so you bypassed Nigeria and DRC. – I went via the East Coast,
via the east side. But I’m gonna… After this, I’m gonna take some rest. But then I’m gonna cycle back
to Europe via West Africa. So… – So you’re going three and a half
years back again. – Yeah. – Gosh! – But I’m gonna go to Nigeria this time. But DRC, I’m gonna skip it
because DRC is… – It’s been… Cuz I just spoke to the lady
and the gentleman there, and I told them
that you came from France. And the gentleman was
in the South African army… – Yeah. – …right before the apartheid.
– Okay, yeah. – Yes. And we used to be… We had contracts with other African
countries to send our soldiers out. – Oh, okay. – And he said there’s no way
you would go to Nigeria or DRC. – No. In Nigeria, you can go. Well,
it’s dangerous, but you can go. Cyclists go through. There is a way…
There are checkpoints on the way. The police are very corrupt.
The roads… The driving is a disaster. But you can go through it.
DRC… In DRC, cyclists actually… Well, it depends on how the situation is,
where you go at that time. So DRC is doable but is much…
I think DRC is the hardest. – I would bypass DRC
and Nigeria completely. But in the east at the West Coast,
there’s something Guinea: Equatorial Guinea,
something like that on the… – There are several Guineas
there. There is… – Yeah, yeah. …Guinea-Bissau, Guinea… – Lots of beautiful… And then
Morocco as well. Definitely. Yeah. – After Nigeria, it should be fine. It’s
just that the difficult point is Nigeria. – What do you do
under those circumstances? – If something goes wrong or…?
It depends on how things go wrong. But if it’s guys with guns, you just give them whatever
they want to take, you know? – Okay. Did they bribe you
for cash before? – No. Because my bicycle looks weird. – All right. – So they get curious
about the bicycle. – Of course, of course. – And they forget to ask
for cash. – And then, they ask… – But I’ll see, because the countries
I went through are not very… They’re not very corrupt. – Uh-ah. – No. – So… – You went
through the good ones. – Yes, so… Yes. Oh, nice. So, I’ll see how it goes
when it’s more corrupt. Yeah. – [Speaks Afrikaans] – She says, “That’s
a new bicycle. Isn’t it getting wet?” – Oh, yeah. – Do you want to…?
– It’s okay. I put… Yeah, it’s okay. – Because there is a little…
– Oh, there is a place. – There is a little what we call…
– Shed? – Yeah. – Okay, okay. – If you wanna put it under there.
– Oh, let’s have a look, maybe. I put it under the tree. Oh!
– So just park it here if you like. – Yeah, it would make sense. Yeah,
yeah. – Here is okay. – Yeah, yeah. Okay. And here is my bike, protected
from the rain. Very nice! Fantastic. – I just told her
how long you’ve been traveling for. – Oh, yeah. That’s… – She said,
“Wow.” [Speaking Afrikaans] – She doesn’t know the words
for the food in English. I just want to explain to you.
– Ah, okay. – This is pickled beets. – Pickled beets? – Yes. – Oh, beetroots. Okay, yeah. – And then, those are
pumpkin fritters. The orange ones. Yes. – Okay. – And then it’s lamb meat
with the lily and potatoes. – Oh, so the green thing is the lilies.
– Lily. Yes. – It’s the flowers. – So we grow it in our dams here
in the local area, in the farms. – Wow! Incredible. – It’s
only in the Overberg area. – Okay, wow. So it’s very…
– Very traditional Afrikaans… – Okay. It’s a very traditional
and very local meal. – Yes, that’s why
we’re not so fat. – Okay. Thank you very much! Yeah. – Yeah,
eat well. – Some beetroots, guys. Oh, good. So let’s try the pumpkin with some sugar on it. Very good. And the flowers. That’s really good. Really good. Let’s try the lamb, guys.
Some of the flowers, the lilies. With the lamb. It’s really good. Great smoothie. Oh, that’s really good. Flowers. – The waterlily. – Yeah. – How else are the women supposed to get some greens
into their husbands’ bodies? – Oh, yeah! – So just meat, rice,
and potatoes. – That’s how… Yes. – I’m sorry. You still… – Yeah, yeah. Yeah, otherwise… Yeah.
It makes sense. Yeah. So that’s why you have lilies
in this traditional meal here: to put some greens in the husband’s body. Okay. – That’s called the Hertzoggie. Very traditional. – Very traditional,
coconut. Okay, maybe… I never had those ones.
Maybe I’ll take some of those. – But have a look. There are
some more over there as well. And then we also have the big
fat cake with curry mince inside. – With? – Curry mince inside. – Okay. Big fat cake. – It’s called a fat cake. – Okay. – But it’s made out
of the same dough as bread… – Okay. – …but they deep-fry it
and then it puffs up. – Oh, so it becomes fat. Okay, yeah. – Yes. In Afrikaans, it’s literally
the translation: “fat”. – Fat cake. Yeah, I heard that. In Botswana,
I think I heard that, but… Yeah. – She wants to know how the waterlily was.
– Oh, very good. It was very good. Yeah. It was the first time for me to eat
that many flowers in my meal. [Both speaking Afrikaans] – She’s happy
because she’s our cook. – Okay, okay. – It’s such a small world:
her brother worked on my husband’s farm
over the years. – Oh, really? – Yes. Oh,
wow. It’s funny. Yeah. – So everybody in the area knows
each other and knows each other’s… – Knows each other. Yeah. – …workers… – Okay. – …and everybody that owns
the farms and things like that. – Okay. That’s nice. Yeah. – Small
community. – That’s good. Yeah. Awesome. It was very good. How do you say “it was very good”
in Afrikaans? – Baie lekker. – Baie lekker? Oh, you… Baie lekker. – Would you like any dessert?
Or another smoothie or a cup of coffee? – What dessert do you have?
– Let me show you the menu. Obviously, you wouldn’t want
any cheesecake because that’s from France. – That’s okay. Yeah, I don’t…
Yeah, yeah. I don’t expect… Oh, baked cheesecake
with berry… Berry coulis. Oh! – Otherwise, you can have
one of your biscuits with a nice cup of coffee. – One of these ones? Yeah, maybe. But the pecan nut pie. It’s been a while. I don’t remember
where I had this. Where do they…? In the US, they also do this
maybe: pecan nut pie? – No, it’s us that made the pecan nut pie
or the Dutch. – Oh, it’s with ice cream. Okay. Oh, maybe. Yeah. I don’t know. – Because, remember, all Caucasians come
from some kind of European heritage. So… – Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Of course. Yeah, yeah, yeah. – On my mum’s side,
it’s French, and my dad’s side is Dutch. And then, it’s vice versa
with my husband. – Okay. Okay. Yeah. I mean, I’m surprised by how many… Cuz in the end, the French had
to start speaking Afrikaans here. – It was called “kitchen Dutch”
in the olden days. – Okay. – So it was the slang
the workers… What they did. All the uneducated Europeans
have settled here for a long time. – Oh, okay. – And then the language
developed as it went along. It’s a very young language.
– Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But what surprises me is how many
French names there are here actually, like cities or areas or places,
especially for wine. There are so many French names,
so I could see that… Well… – Yeah, lots of French names.
– Right, there’s a lot… It’s probably people who were French
and then became Afrikaners. – My surname changed to Detoi,
which is a French name. – Yeah, yeah. – So Dutoit. – Dutoit. Yeah,
yeah. – Yeah, right? – Yeah, yeah. – So it was first the Dutch city. – Leroux. You also have a lot
of Leroux — “the ginger”. – Yes. And the Dutch settled here first. And then I know in Franschhoek, the French corner, a lot
of French settlers moved there. And then the Germans were more up
the west coast, up to Namibia. – Yeah. Oh, yes. It’s true. Because you have a lot
of German descent also here in South Africa.
Yeah, yeah. – As well. But mostly Germans… – Mostly
on the way to Namibia. – West Coast. Yeah, yeah. – And then, on the East Coast. So the Dutch East India Company…
On the East Coast, you’ve got the Zulus. – Yeah. – And the Zulu nation
is more soldiers like fighters. They’re not laborers. – Yeah. – And then, the Dutch tried
to plant sugar cane plantations, and the Zulus didn’t want to work. – Okay. – So they imported
the Indians. – Ah, okay. – And the British were here as well. – Yes, because then the British
also colonized you. – Exactly. But from the East Coast corner.
– Oh! – From that side. And the Dutch were already settled here.
The castle that you saw in Cape Town. – Yeah. – It was Jan van Riebeeck. It was a Dutch settler
that built that one. – Ah, okay. Yeah. – So if you look at the map,
the British came from this side, the Dutch were already here
and then the local settlers, who were Afrikaners,
then moved up north, so where you get the Free State
with Bloemfontein, Pretoria. – Oh, okay. – That’s where
they lived. – Okay, so that’s all… – That’s why we have a lot of Indians. And then they also imported
a lot of Malaysians from… – Yeah, like the Bo-Kaap.
– …Cape Malay. Yes, exactly. – Yeah, Cape Malay in Cape Town. – And then that’s where
the Muslim culture also came and religion. – Yeah. Yeah. – And then we have
our local Khoisan, who these ladies are. – Oh, they’re Khoisan.
– They’re of Khoisan descent. They don’t mix Malaysian
with this. – Okay, I thought… Okay. But there are very few
Khoisan left in the region. – But do you know about their traits? Like they’re very short. – Yes,
I mean in… Here, I didn’t see. But in Namibia and Botswana,
it’s easy to make a difference. They have a much lighter skin. And the facial features are also
very different. – But they inbred a lot… – Compared to the Bantu,
they are completely different. Yeah. – No, they inbred a lot
with the local white settlers. – Oh, okay. – That’s why they’re
much fair-skinned. – Oh, there they are… Oh, that’s why. Because yeah,
they have much lighter skin there. – And the sharper noses. – Yeah.
– The sharper features. – Oh, that’s why. So in Botswana and Namibia,
they mixed more with the whites. Okay. – But here, because of our history
and so on, it wasn’t that common. – It was less. Ah, okay. – It happened.
– Of course. Yeah, yeah. – But much less. – Much less. – Yes. – Okay. Oh,
wow. Okay. Oh, so she’s Khoisan. Okay, interesting. – She’s San, but yeah. But they would just refer
to themselves as colored, you know? – As? – Colored. – Colored. Oh!
– Or locals. But you get a different type. – But you have different types
of colored. – Yes. – Because you have… – They are the Khoisan ones. Then you’ve got the Malaysian ones
who are like Muslims with darker hair. – Yeah. – Then you have
Indian ones as well. Yeah. We’ve got a lot of mixtures.
– Yeah, you’ve got a lot of… Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, this region is… I mean, it’s very mixed.
Very, very mixed. Yeah. – That’s why we’re called
the rainbow nation. – Yeah, yeah. – Because there’s so much variety.
– Yeah. You have a lot of Xhosa also. – The Xhosa is from this Western Cape
and Eastern Cape area you’re in now. – Yeah. – And then you get the Zulus
on the eastern side… – Yeah. – …where KwaZulu-Natal is. Then you get Ndebele, which is
where Pretoria and Johannesburg are. – Yeah. You’ve got a lot of Malawians
also here. – Yes. – Yeah. – And the local… – They work a lot.
– Very much. Yeah, they work very hard. They’re hard workers. – And they’re
loyal and they’re honest. – Okay. – Where our locals, like the Xhosa
and the Zulus, I think in their mindset, they are too much in that concept of,
“Oh, no. We are owned something.” “Owned”. Do you know
what I mean? – Yeah. – Everybody has to work hard
to get something in life. – Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. – So now,
they just kind of sit back. – Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I heard that many times.
– And now, they’re getting upset. We call it xenophobia, and then… – They’re getting upset
by the African immigration, right? – So when the… – Because
the other Africans work a lot. – Exactly. – And then they don’t want
to work. And then they’re not happy. – Exactly, not helping
with the whole protest. So now… – They make a protest against that.
Really? – No, like the “protest”. – Oh, yeah, yeah. – “Oh, I don’t need
to work as hard as other people.” – Yeah, yeah, yeah. – But then
we have something like xenophobia where the black local tribes get upset because of the other immigrating
local black tribes. Ah! – So then they all have conflict
and stuff in their informal settlements. – Yeah. Oh, in the townships,
there is… Oh. – But the closest town we’ve got
is Napier, which is 25 km away. – Yeah, I’m figuring out whether I go
to Napier or the next one. I don’t know. – The rain is coming. – Yes. And the…
How is the battery going? 400… – We never rush from our side. Would you like a pecan nut pie
with ice cream? – Yes. – Would you like a cup of coffee
with your dessert? – Yes, yeah. Let’s go… Yeah, Napier. So Napier
is better than the next one, right? The next one is bigger. – …Bredasdorp.
Bredasdorp is your biggest farmers’ town. – Ah, okay. – So I’m talking
about tractors, combiners… – Okay. – …four-by-four bakkies
shops, Checkers, shopping malls. – Okay. So it’s better for me to stop
in Napier. And then I can finish. – …like a stand. – Okay.
– You don’t know about… – Ah, okay. Perfect.
– I think you’ll prefer it. – Okay. – If that is what you’re going for. – No, no. It’s good. It’s good
because… Yeah. No, it’s good. And it’s nice because it’s
different from the coast. The coast is all fancy and all the… Well, it’s very pleasant, but here,
it feels more real somehow. I don’t know. – Exactly. But it is gonna be a climb,
then it goes down. – Yeah. – I don’t know if your bicycle
has brakes, proper brakes. – It’s… Yes, yes, I have…
Yeah, I got it serviced recently. So, the brakes work well. – And the trucks are
also running past here, cuz harvesting season just ended. – Oh! – So they’re so busy
filling up the silos. We’ve got… Sheep stealing is big. – Okay.
– Especially on the full moon. – Oh, yeah? – They call it
a sheep stealing night. – Oh, really? – They don’t say,
