Really enjoying DustBugs especially these small towns. I noticed there is not a lot of SAPS visible minimal crime in these towns , Nice to retire lol😊, keep safe from CPT

Hi guys Went through the hamlet this morning. Watched your video now Beautiful Doing a road trip Used many of your videos as a guide Keep driving 😊😊😊

A long drive for the first day

Never fear when Curtis is near😅🚙

Wonderful to see the donkey and horse interact with you! The roads you took look really quiet and peaceful and I love those blue skies with the patches of white clouds making it look like a painting! Sad indeed to see that that historic church building is no longer in use! It reminds me of what my grade 1 teacher used to tell us: "Van nuuskierigheid is die tronk vol en die kerk leeg," although that's probably not the reason this church closed down😉

Ladybrand.

So nice to be able to see a lot about tiny towns like this. You're the best travel guide and I'm busy going through all your videos for planning a trip from Wellington to South Namibia 😊 in Hondeklipbaai we found a little beach with red sand, just a bit further than the lighthouse. Not sure where that red sand comes from but it's so much you can see it in goggle satellite View.

Great video! We once travelled from Zimbabwe to Calitzdorp by rail - many decades ago. We really love Calitzdorp! We have a little house near the Calitzdorp Hot Springs. My grandfather used to farm across the river, at what is now Karoowater Guest Farm. It is a beautiful spot. Next time you should have a look at those two locations and also at Gamkaberg Nature Reserve on the way to Oudtshoorn, which has pitched tents and a campsite. All these places have hikes and some game - mostly buck.

Hi Curtis Sonia and Dusty ❤❤❤, you are a trooper Sonia, even my toes were curling for those gravel stretches, Curtis you are a cool cucumber hey, thanks for another nail biting journey, safe travels 🥾🥾

My sister and my fathers funeeal services were held in St Thomas Anglican church.

What an episode that gave me too much stress.😄😄 That drive yooohhh. But again I watched the episode with hubby, I was like you have to see this... Thank you so much guys....❤❤❤

I grew up there in the 1957 till 1959, back then it was just a small Karroo town The Oasis hotel was just finished

I've been there a couple of times quite long ago.But I'm sad to see how it been developed.A lots of what is there now was not there.I think they have spoilt it now.😢

Sonia , i am with you all the way those road and fall down the mountains.

Best one you have done since inception. Seen them all.

Book this one as the best one you have done since inception. I have been with since day one and will only stop when you do. Thank you for choosing this part of the world, just proves WP is still the best!

Baie dankie vriende.

Those grain silos at 33.22 minute mark, if they are just outside the main town of Heilbron, my step dad and ex husband built. Back in 1982/83/84 maybe. We lived on a little farm owned by the Mullers. Good times there. We moved to the town later and I worked for a little music store and then NJN Construction. Good old days.

Would you say it's possible to do this trip in a VW Polo? Are there alternate tar roads to reach the camp? I really enjoyed following along on your trip.

Ek het dit baie geniet om saam met julle te ry. Mooi herinneringe teruggebring. Baie bly julle voertuig het geen skade opgedoen nie, veral die bande.

Ugh, die strate lyk sleg, en geen mense op die strate nie.

the Queens son was Jack the Ripper

you can sit there and drink beer

Stunning video.amazing outcrops and you two are very brave to tackle these roads in your vehicle.❤

Good afternoon Dustbugs, not sure if anyone commented on the beautiful church in Op-die-Berg? It is the Dutch Reformed Church, inaugurated on 31 July 1966. Another breathtaking journey, thank you so much for sharing. Lots of love and stay safe.

and look for food

all food tastes better when cold especially pork chops and chicken

It's a pity that the rail line is no longer in use. But there is still a glimmer of hope that the turning triangle will see a locomotive again, since the rails have not been lifted. A beautiful clean town. Something the residents can be proud of.

at these new places, do you stop for munchies and coffee?

Looking at the title, the first thing coming to mind is “Die Berggans het ‘n veer laat val van die hoogste krans by Woeperdal….” (Boerneef - I W van der Merwe). Beautiful area you’re visiting this time.

Good memories.. My ouers van Ebenezer en my PA skool ghou op Papendorp by daardie ou gebou waar julle fotos gevat het! ❤️. Ons elke jaar gekamp op papendorp... Daar waar julle gery het was sout panne.. 🥺🥺🥺❤️❤️❤️😍😍

I'm sure you have the car's wheel alignment checked regularly. After a drive similar to yours between Golden Gate and Harrismith in 1990 I should have had the alignment of my car checked, which I did not do. Only 20 000 k's later I had to replace the tyres due to uneven wear.

enjoyed this episode. i hope some day to do this pass

Lovely area, so glad you have been to see Wupperthal. At 20:10 you passed that sign by the Cape Leopard Trust on the left of the road. On one of my travels I stopped there, got out and was having coffee when I saw a vehicle slowly approaching from the north. When they reached me they told me they were following a leopard that was in the veld coming this way but has now disappeared. Well needless to say I immediately got back in the vehicle and then tried to find the leopard using my binoculars but nowhere to be seen. That cement road down to Wupperthal is quite steep but you ...and Sonia...did very well.lol. See you in the next one..

When I read Wuppertal I immediately thought Pakhuis Pass. Or maybe I am confused with something else. When I was little I thought Pakhuis was a place where you got lots of hidings. 😅 Never heard of Oppieberg before. What a beautiful place and lovely church. Gravel roads are the most scenic and this one is beautiful. Mountains are fantastic! I had an idea you would save some supper for padkos. For me i would need a thermos of coffee too 8 hours? Yes, definitely enough coffee Eselbank looks like a place that developed from a farm into a community. I would love to live there. Roger and i were on some hairy roads too, in an Opel Kadet. But take it slowly and carefully and you will get through. What a view!

Op daai monument voor die kerk is name van russise soldate ook wat saam met die boere teen die engelse geveg het

Lovely video, thanks😎👍🏻

Fantastic trip, thank You! Pretty scary in places, rather you than me driving! Was last in the Cedarburg 64 years ago, still remember those amazing landscapes. Keep on truckin 😅 Kiwi Jim.

Hi julle wat n pad het my oè n paar keer toe geknyp.

Ja, ek het nie so gebid in my lewe nie, my heart was pumping overtime, I am afraid of the heights and that pass, the gravel road I just say, Baie dankie julle, I will not go there, not now not ever, you did it for me, I now know that place through you guys, Baie Baie dankie for this informative and interesting journey.

My kind of journey - just spectacular! I loved every moment of it. The beauty and the peace the Cederberg holds is all-consuming. I now understand why you choose to travel those roads in a Renault Kwid Curtis. The car handled those sump-destroying rocks like a 4X4 RV! Sonia's somewhat anxious comments at 43:13 ("I would like Wupperthal to show up now") and especially at 45:24 ("Don't look anywhere ... but in front") had me in stitches. I deemed it fit to enjoy an extra glass of wine tonight in celebration of Sonia's comments (and resilience). As always, it was a pleasure travelling with you. Thank you to the both of you.

I won't even comment on the scenery today. All I will say is well done Curtus on your driving. I thought I wad about to get a heart attack with yhe road high up there anf no barriers. O couldn't wait for you all to get to the next town. Be safe.

You didn’t visit the pharmacy inside the castle…

I am so glad to have seen this place . Thank you 😊

Instead of complaining maybe we all can learn how to create beautiful,safe , independent communities .It's not a bad idea to run ones own municipality,banks ..just that only Afrikaners can live here is negative

Hi guys, i enjoyed yiur trip to Wupperthal, but you forgot to mention the huge fire in which most houses were destroyed... and then rebuild and the recents floods. Yet the town look good. Regards

There’s actually some remains of the first fort that was made out of wood and mud in the golden acre enclosed by glass.

Op die berg hometown of Breyten Paulse. Noticed that blackened palm trees in Wupperghal? Caused by the major fire they had.

Smart, stunning werk soos altyd, dankie erg baie!

Thanks! ❤
