S1 - Ep 491 - Clanwilliam, Western Cape!

Clanwilliam is a town in the Western Cape that we had visited many times without fully exploring it. We decided to change that this time around, and we were thrilled that we did. This small town is rich in history and has produced several notable South Africans. Exploring the old jail was fascinating, especially seeing the room dedicated to Tolla van der Merwe, a beloved comedian many of us fondly remember. Driving through the streets gave us a unique glimpse into the daily lives of the local residents. From now on, every time we return to Clanwilliam, we will see it with a newfound appreciation. #DustBugs #dustbugstravel #adventuretravel #southafrica #southafricavlog #travelongravel #westerncape #clanwilliam

The Cederberg continues to impress! The drone footage sums up the busy little town of Clanwilliam beautifully. Klein Boschkloof is quite stunning. Thank you for the visit.

Hi you two! Thank you for this trip to Rooibos Tolla Town. It's quite a bustling place and bigger than I thought it to be. Thank you for the time you devoted to this very interesting exploration. Surprises everywhere. Your overnight place in the 'stable' was grand to say the least. Thanks for the drone view putting the cherry on the cake. I am eagerly waiting to be picked up on the next trip. Keep safe!

Clanwilliam is a beautiful town and also has the huge dam. I love this town and am impressed how they maintain the town. Thanks for showing us so much of the old buildings. You really bring reality to us in so much detail. A video well done thank you. Next trip I am on the back seat.

I've driven through the Cederberg region / Clanwilliam on many occasions. I hadn't realized the Rooibos Museum. My favorite tea / bush.

When you left Wupperthal you drove through the beautiful Biedouw Valley. Clanwilliam is such a nice and friendly town. I also love my Rooibos tea, but I now drink Instant Rooibos and I enjoy that very much.

I had a good chuckle about the garage where you took your first flat tyre. We also took our flat tyre there when we got a flat between Calvinia and Clanwilliam.

I think you should do an introductory video of the two of you, for us who have recently subscribed. We can’t watch all 580 to know you more 😂😂😂😂. Thanks for the videos, I am a single 55 year lady and I find it relaxing to watch your escapades,, in our beautiful country. Enjoy every mile you drive, few get this opportunity..

Welcome to our channel, thank you for hopping on board. You should check out Episode 480, it may give you a little more insight into who we are and how we do things. 🚙😁

Wow so much to see in Clanwilliam. The home of Tolla van der Merwe, Rooibos Tea and Veldskoene from Wupperthal. A very well kept museum. You guys were so lucky to stay amongst those orange trees🍊. 🌳I hope you were allowed to pick some, especially when Sonia has such an affinity with citrus.. Sonia's chicken and mayo toasted sandwiches did not look too bad.🥪 I would have eaten them in a jiffy. Just a couple of questions. Curtis when in Rome , do as the Romans do . Why a coffee and no Rooibos tee ?🍵 Also is there a railway station at Clanwilliam ?🚂 Nice drone shot, but next time try to pick a spot without all that litter on the side of the road😄. Another very interesting visit to a very historical town. Baie Dankie.

You said it yourself! 😁 There were so many other interesting places in Clanwilliam and time ran out before we could figure out the what and where of the station. Stations are just one of the things we enjoy exploring though and we were thrilled at what we did get to see in town. Time, as always, ran out and we wanted to get to the Klein Boschkloof before darkness fell. I drink rooibos tea every day of my life while at home, so I welcome the chance to break from routine a little and enjoy some coffee while on the road. ☕ My camera and my drone will always show a place just as we find it on the day. All the beauty, and the litter if there is any, included! No oranges for Sonia this time around, she was already travelling with a healthy supply of lemons. 🍋 I'm glad you enjoyed Clanwilliam. 🚙🤩

I also love my rooibos. Bossietee we used to call it. I can get it here in NZ too . Yes, we all have a tyre story. Do you remember the days when milk was delivered in those funny electronic vans that went wheeee dop? Well, one of these had an accident in Bloemfontein and we drove right through all the broken glass before we even saw it and it cut a tyre to pieces so we had to look for a tyre place and get a new tyre much to my dad's disgust. Not a nice thing to happen when you are on holiday

@DustBugsTravel 3 күн бұрын

Yup, a flat tyre is never a fun thing. 😣 I do remember those little milk trucks, but my memories of them are fond ones. They used to bring the bottles of Dairy-Belle milk and orange juice with the foil tops. We put the coupons outside the front door with the empties early and when we looked again, the refills had been delivered. Fun times those were! 😁🍶 Rooibos has taken the world by storm and I'm not surprised. I remember when we lived abroad we were also able to buy rooibos. I do love my rooibos. ☕😍

Good content why don't you have ride along or be tour guide business

@DustBugsTravel 4 күн бұрын

Thank you kindly! We travel and make videos for fun and treasure our time together when we do get away from the routine of our everyday lives. I don't think we'll make for very good tour guides, we don't chase the touristy sights. Instead, we love exploring and finding the extraordinary in the most mundane. That is super exciting to us! 🚙😁
