Ep 89 - We found the Desert Rose and the Englishman’s Grave!
Travelling along the N7, we needed a pitstop. We saw this farm stall called the Desert Rose and decided this was the place. It was such a cool experience. All the amazing sculptures made of steel were a real treat to look at. Such talented artists! Then just over the Pakhuis Pass we found the “Engelsman se Graf” or the Englishman’s Grave. The story behind this was really fascinating. #DustBugs #adventuretravel #southafrica #desertrose #engelsmansegraf

I found today's trip very interesting and the metal animals were amazing.... Wow

[@DustBugsTravel]

Those sculptures were so lifelike, incredible to see. Glad you enjoyed them too.

This episode opened with you standing in front of one of my favorite McD's in my favorite place and next you're providing us a great look at that interesting roadside restaurant and then you're providing us with an interesting and detailed story about the fallen brave "Engelsmans" grave and his devoted sister. Many South Africans including myself proudly have Scottish heritage.Then to top it all off we're treated to some more great drone shots. Your videos are way too short. I cannot wait for your next installment.

And what a good breakfast it was in Malmesbury! 😃 We never knew there was such a rich treasure trove of farm stalls / restaurants next to our roads, we thoroughly enjoy visiting each one we have the opportunity to stop at. What we loved most about the Englishman's story, was the utter love and commitment from his sister to visit him every single year for 30 years. She must've spent a good 10 of those on ships if you add all her voyages together! 😳

Thank you for sharing the history of the Englishmans grave. Wow, the sister was very devoted. It is the tranquility that touches me. And the artwork!!! That is extremely hard work. I thought the dinosaur was going to bite you it's so real. Loved it. We live in a beautiful world. Thank you for sharing.

We appreciate the complete silence which we find in places like the Englishman's Grave. It makes us truly appreciate the surroundings and we can listen to nothing but birds and the breeze for hours. The sister's story is one of deep commitment and love and to be admired. I agree, for a moment the dinosaurs appeared too real for my liking! 😁

So sad about the english man buried away from his family. So sad for anyone to be buried away from their family. What a story! 👍

Did you know the fenced area around the Englishman grave belongs to Great Britain!

[@DustBugsTravel]

No, I did not! Very interesting info, thanks! 👍🏻

You guys are that happy to see a gravel road? 😂 It's the total opposite for me. I started getting anxious when I saw that there was a whole lot of brown in the distance.

[@DustBugsTravel]

That's so funny! 😁 Yes, we actually do love gravel much more than we love tar. We just love the fact that there's not so much traffic and we really get to see and experience things we just wouldn't otherwise. Thank you for watching!

So the Englishman's grave is actually an empty one! There's another empty grave worth visiting in Israel, if you know what I mean.
