Allan's travels

Hi, I am from Cape Town, South Africa, I love travelling and visit different areas in Cape Town as well as it's surrounding areas, such as small rural towns, especially with historical buildings and a rich history!
I try as best as possible to show you the real thing as it is.

    Why do you say Lively Parkwood where you don't even drive within Parkwood itself..what's wrong brother,is it to Ghetto for you or you might be shot at.its true that Parkwood ain't the same as yester-years as these youths are making our once homely area,a haven for gangsterism.what we had those years while growing up in Parkwood could never be replaced by what's expected today.our government should really step in and create an environment where kids can focus on their future instead of looking to gangsterism,drugs and alcohol.its sad to know that we as a race of people has proven to the country that change is not happening..The believe that a race of people can change for the betterment for themselves and their future offspring needs urgent help,care,understanding in different social economic development.not just in Parkwood but all area's where change needs to be addressed as if change doesn't happen then decay will bring our communities down.

    Good morning Allan, My name is Jeff Harrison and for 36 years i have lived in Cape Town and now we live in Pretoria. What makes this video so special is my Grandfather (late) used to stay in the Pastory house behind the Church, My mom (his daughter) and my dad together with my brother and I stayed in the Pastory too, this was many moons ago when I was about 5 or 6, His name was John Ernztern and I think he was the Deacon at the Church, the most terrifying day I had was when they took us up to the Belfry to look at the Bells that the Sidesmen used to ring, those wooden steps anyway this is only on the ancedotes, the next one is of the video you took of Ruyterwacht, my home town when I was still a laaitjie in school from Sub a to Matric, I really thought that when you turned into Paul Kruger Avenue driving towards the old De Ruyter High School, you would have turned left into Wavern street and around the circle into Louis Trichardt Square, thats where I lived, nr 13 Was also glad you did an insert of Summer Greens, when I joined the SA Air Force in 1987, I stayed in the Living In Messes and in 1993 I bought my first house in Summer Greens and watching you drive up Summer Greens Drive, you drove past my street ,25 Galway Road, stayed there for about 3 years before moving to Langebaan Road. A suggestion for another video, why dont you do an insert on Century City and the old Ratanga Junction Kind regards

    Hi Allan, I'm a first year student going to live in Rondebosch (in Belmont Rd.), tell me please is it safe for a single student to walk around during the day and how safe is the Southern Line Trains Station to City Centre as I'm moving there from Calitzdorp (a very very small town outside of Oudtshoorn).

  • @Allanstravels
    @Allanstravels4 ай бұрын

    @walterwhite9168 of breakingbad😊 it's safe to walk about as I experienced, even to the station, however, you still have to alert and aware of what's going on around you. As far as I know, the southern line was up and running,but then the cables we're stolen again 🙈 and it was suspended. So it's an on and off thing that happens quite regularly. Hope this answers your questions. I might add too that there are taxis as well, very convenient but also have to be wary.
