BUDDYMOON DAY 248/1000 (VLOG 66)
We slept in economy class on one of the very few sleeper trains in South Africa, The Santos Express in Mosselbay. Most sleeper trains come at a very high price, mainly because they take you from one destination to another.
The Santos Express train however does not move and is treated as a hotel, therefore, the opportunity to sleep in a train comes at an affordable price ($24 for 2 people) and this is why we just had to book a stay to see what it's like to sleep on a train!

In South Africa we do say thank you on the roads when another driver goes out of his way to do something good .. just a gesture of appreciation

@rynhardduplessis6535 6 месяцев назад

We grew up riding the sleep train untill the ANC stuffed this up as well. Would of loved to take my family on a trip like we use to DBN to JHP or CPT sadly tks to the ANC ee can't do so.

That’s a nice gesture - the hazard lights, flash of lights - never seen that anywhere else…

I used to travel with train from Johannesburg to Capetown back in the early 2000s and I must say it's amazing to travel in second class and they were shared among 4 people... Two at top and 2 down

@thebuddymoon Год назад

Was this the Bkue train that travelled in?

In the 70's I often traveled to Cape Town from Johannesburg in the "sleeper" train. Depart Joburg station at 11h00 arrive Cape Town 09h00 the next morning. The train stopped at several towns during the night for passengers to disembark or embark. In the mornings we were woken up by a rapid knock on the compartment door and served coffee or tea in our bunks. The dining cars served four course meals consisting of soup, fish and a choice of chicken or meat and a dessert. The meals were prepared on the train. The lounge had comfortable seating and the large windows allowed one to see the countryside flashing by .. It is easy to long for those days ......

What a pleasure to see my backyard featuring in one of your awesome videos. Nice one guys, and I'm EXTRA glad to see the drone being put to such good use 👌I always think the "Map of Africa" could also be a sleeping crocodile 🐊

Hey Kangela, it was so great to meet you😊So grateful for the drone on this trip😊absoulty loved our time on in Mossel Bay 😊

A successful Otter Trail and now doing the Garden Route. Its one of the most well known popular places. A must on the list .A beautiful scenic drive . A surfers paradise on the way also. Enjoy your train ride and your journey.

We have done eleven long distance return journeys on ShosholozaMeyl and PremierClasse since 2016. Safe, clean, pleasant and wasn't robbed like on the TransNatal in 1982.

Hello, I love your beautiful home country South Africa and I like your travelling by your own car. South African sleeper train has the most beautiful beds to sleep comparing with Indian and Malaysian sleeper train beds

When we were kids in the late 60s and the 70s, we lived in East London. To get to Durban (600km/ about 375 miles by car) by train, you had to travel all the way to Johannesburg (1000km/625 miles) and then down to Durban (400km/250 miles) We had to spend 2 nights on the train. I remember falling asleep to the "da-da da-da... da-da da-da of the wheels on the tracks, and being awakened by the conductor ar 6am every morning, offering hot coffee for sale. We couldnt afford to eat in the dining car, but my mom always packed a delicious picnic basket with enough food for 2 days.

Enjoyed that fun/educational tour of the Garden Route with you two. I'm from that area, will sure love to try that stationery sleep train out some time some time. 🙂

@jadziak6997 Год назад

In America if drivers are being courteous they stick their hand up/wave if they merge in front of another car. Also if it's another car's turn to go but they allow you to go instead. But on the most part you have crazy drivers lol it's cute you two messing around in the cabin and giggling like teens :-)))))

The guys in vintage cars... that was so cool, just going for a drive in your vintage car, top down on a sunny day. I love the train, I'd 100% try it. In Kenya drivers usually do hand signals or a quick honk. I love the topography of the route you've taken, some areas are green and lush, others dry grass and the ocean never too far away.

@thebuddymoon Год назад

The Garden Route is absolutely Gorgeous, spoiled for all types of views along the way🙂

@Stellamarie123 Год назад

Ja, pulling over onto the yellow line and the whole flash your hazard thing doesn’t happen in Oz. Lives there for 16 years and I really missed it on road trips

The Rovos Rail is a beautiful luxury sleeper train that still runs.

@Cliff7257 Месяц назад

@@TheJenny1957Johannesburg-Durban Cheapest ticket on Rovos Rail cost R31200 [$1750] per person sharing, one way. However go on the Shosholoza Meyl and the cost is considerably lower at R360 [$21] for the same journey. That is if its still running?

Hi guys. We booked coach no. 6, that has great sea views, during the summer holidays. Loved it so much....all our lights actually worked 😂 Knowing that December month is hot I took my electric fan that I modified to a 2-prong plug which made the stay much more bareable 👌🏻 Enjoy your travels 👍🏻 Greetings from Cape Town ❤

Little town called George HAHAHA!! C'mon!

@bravesoldier136 Месяц назад

You say your journey starts in George, "in a little town George." Did you know that in the western cape George is the second largest city? No "little town" at all. I'm living in George and I would suggest that you first make sure about the info you give to people about a town or city. If George is a "little town" then I wonder what Knysna and Mossel Bay, is.

@jeannealbertusduplessis824 Месяц назад

True that. George is a big city.

@fbi-information 6 месяцев назад

Yes people do use their hazard lights to say thanks although it's actually illegal but it's such a common thing to do for many years that even the police and traffic police officers don't really care.
