Thank you, awesome that you liked it. I enjoyed flying the drone over the area so much, such a typical Karoo landscape, not to mention all the windpumps. 😃
Always wanted to visit Loeriesfontein. What a charming town! Love the old buildings. And the windpompe! My fave coffee is moerkoffie. Sterk, swart en soet!
It was a fantastic place to visit. I thoroughly enjoyed walking through the collection of wind pumps and am so glad that someone had the forethought to preserve some of them, one sees less and less of them as one travels through the Karoo. Glad you enjoyed the video. 👍🏻🚗
Coffee is the first thing we do when we open our eyes, especially when we're travelling. 😁☕ We just can't seem to get going without that first cuppa. Glad you enjoyed Loeriesfontein!
Have to agree with you re Ricoffy though its better when mixed with Nescafe. The drone footage of the town showing its expanse was great to watch. I have only been there by plane. Your guesthouse looked welcoming, I also thought that you were in for a noisy night. Its great to see the accommodation nicely booked.
Wow, it must've been quite an experience to fly into the area, I can only imagine that aerial view! 🛩️🤩 The solar and wind projects in the area seem to be giving the town a much-appreciated injection and it was good to see that the locals are supported. The accommodation was all we needed and we were super comfortable and happy to have these folks from all over the country as our neighbours.
I agree with Graeme the drone footage is amazing. Growing up on a farm the wind pumps were do good to see again. Never realised the blades of the wind turbines were so long wow. Well done.
Thank you, happy that you enjoyed the drone footage. It was great to see the town from above. The windpumps were amazing, they've become such a symbol of the Karoo, one sees them absolutely everywhere! 😁
Certainly wonderful to see and visit these little Karoo dorpies. An entirely different type of beauty, but I could personally never live in such a barren environment - I thrive where there’s plenty of water and greenery.
We often get asked where we would live if we could choose any place in South Africa and we always say we won't be able to choose because we love every type of landscape for the fact that they're so very different. We feel a different love for the Karoo for two reasons: gravel roads abound and the silence is much more intense there. And while we love trees, rivers, the coast and mountains, the bareness and barrenness of the Karoo have found a special place in our hearts and we will always return. 😍🚗
A descendant of Fred Turner sings a song called "Die rooinek en die Gouwsblom". Applicable to many of us in SA. The windmills are to be seen in the background
How interesting! I did a quick search, but can't find anything about the song online. We're familiar with a Turner family member, so I'll definitely ask her about that when we see her again. Loeriesfontein was a cool place and we just had to check out those windpumps. They were incredibly fascinating! 😎🌬️
I've been watching this channel for a while now and at this point I am addicted. I wish nothing but the best for y'all. Soon this channel will blow up and Sponsors will be paying y'all to travel the world.
I think you now by now that we love every place and town we get to visit, because each one has a special character all its own. We absolutely adore the vast open spaces, fresh air and silence of the Karoo and will always return. If you like barren and bare, you would love Loeriesfontein. In the flower season which is from July to September, flowers adorn the fields though and it's spectacularly beautiful. We visited the shop to buy some dinner and the vibe we got from the people we happened upon in the shop and met at our place of accommodation, was very warm and welcoming, which would be important for any new resident to experience as well. You have a lot to consider! 😁🇿🇦
Grew up in the karoo on a sheepfarm best place in the world groot karoo
You were blessed to grow up there. 😊 Neither of us did, but we love it so much all the same. 😍
Wow, drone footage fantastic

What a peaceful little town. It was a lot bigger than I thought it would be. Enjoyed watching thank you both.
Always great to hear when you also enjoy the smaller towns, we again realised how much each place has to offer. Thank you! 👍🏻

We enjoyed watching you making coffee while we drank Nescafe coffee with rusks watching another amazing discovery thank you

Excellent Curtis and Sonia
We are very lucky to have water without all that trouble
I know! How times have changed, imagine having to work so hard just to get one bucket of water! 💧
Pity they didn't continue making more advanced pumps.Imagine how advanced we would be.Each household could have generated their own power
That would've certainly come in handy in these crazy loadshedding times! 😨💡
Thank you. Very nice little town. Well done
Thank you so much for watching. 👌🏻🚗 The Karoo towns are just so beautiful.
The drone footage just shows how beautiful the area is! Glad to be travelling with you and feasting on all this and more! Baie Dankie 👏👏👏🥰
