- Опубліковано 8 вер 2024
- It was a bumpy drive from Stella to Delareyville. As we entered the town, it was evident that agriculture played a significant role in its existence. While we were thrilled to arrive at the station, it was disheartening to see such a beautiful stone building in ruins. However, we were pleased to find the station nameboards intact. We ordered supper, visited the golf course, and found the memorial of General De la Rey before heading to our accommodation at Die PlaasJapie, which was fantastic. The next morning, despite the icy cold weather, we felt good after our visit to Delareyville. #DustBugs #dustbugstravel #adventuretravel #southafrica #southafricavlog #travelongravel #northwest #delareyville #stella

Hi guys another agricultural town with a massively amount of cylos the cbd was busy love the sign LAWFUL water lol lots of churches and the NGK shared with the NG of Africa stunning and lovely gardens .the General Deleray memorial was very interesting love the battle maps .sad about the pool and the sports fields but the bowls club still thriving. The modern NGK CHURCH of transvaal different. The suburbs nice and tidy loved the statues outside the big house .the restaurant looked inviting. The entrance to the golf club was amazing with the tees and balls and the lawn darts a new one on me!!! .topnotch accommodation with lovely grounds and buffalo only in South Africa 🇿🇦 wow guys minus 4 no wonder there was frost on the car .what an amazing sight the flamingos. The fields opposite my house are being harvested at the moment but the Harvesters are a bit smaller lol 😆. Migdol was a fitting name and only on dustbugs you get to see the grain shoot in action. My Afrikaans is improving plaasjapie means farm yocal .brilliant video thanks for taking me along cheerio till the next one
I also enjoyed the battle names with their dates, that was a unique feature of that monument for me. 🏛️ Nice to see you're fast becoming a plaasjapie yourself, I love that! 😁🧑🏻🌾 Those harvesters were huge and so fascinating.
Always a joy to watch. Thanks Curtis and Sonia.
And thank you kindly for coming to Delareyville with us! 🚙😁
Loved coming to delareyville and caught myself singing "the song"...Loved the flamingos. SA is fascinating we have it all. Thanks for the drive guys 💋💋💋💋
How cool that you also sang the song. We found ourselves humming it that whole day! 🤣 The flamingos were so beautiful and there were so many, which was fantastic to see. 😍 I'm so glad you came along to explore!
I have heard of Delareyville but never been there. Thanx for showing us...but hey some really sad sights inbetween.
Yes, neglect and decay are never easy to witness, but we'll never polish up the footage we include in our videos. They will reflect any town exactly as we found it at the time of our visit, including the sad bits, which we find in every single place we get to. 🚙🤷🏻♂️
I loved that two tone stone on that railway building, and of course my heart sank at another dilapidated railway building. Thanks agsin Sonja and Curtis. Be safe on the road.
The two-stone stone was exquisite, we haven't seen the blue stone all that often before. At least the station nameboards are still there, which was of some consolation to us. 🚉 We appreciate you exploring Delareyville with the two of us!
Hi Sonia and Curtis,
Very interesting travels.
If not too late, when near Zeerust, please visit Ottoshoop and allow time. It is small but there is a lot of history.
Safe travels

Keep an eye out for the date of our visits on our videos, shortly after the intro. We're long back home from the North West already. 🚙😁 Thanks for the suggestion though.
Glad to see that the churches are at least intact and obviously well-cared for. It's tragic to see the other derelict, trashed and abandoned buildings and installations. I keep on asking myself why, why, why?! Your accommodation for the night at Die PlaasJapie appeared very tranquil and peaceful. Thank you for the stop.
Die PlaasJapie was a great place to overnight. 😍🏡 It's never good to see decay and destruction in our towns, but it's a very common sight in almost every single place we visit. 😥🇿🇦
Hi guys, did not know Dville is that size. Thanks, take care.🙃🙏💕🇿🇦
We're still not sure how many folks actually currently live there, but it's surely a big and busy town. 🚙🙂
A lovely video visit to Delareyville and 'Die Plaas Yaapie'. The bath and toilet in the room would be a big no-no for me especially eating my meal next to it.
Our accommodation was fantastic! 😍🏡 We're really not fussy about much in life or when we're on the road. To have a safe, comfortable and clean roof over our heads is really the most important thing to us. Different strokes for different folks, I guess. 🤷🏻♂️
Dit was nou interesant om dit te sien nou verlang ek so terug na Al die plekke dankie
We also find exploring towns incredibly interesting, I'm glad you enjoyed our visit to Delareyville. We appreciate you coming along! 🚙😊
Bly dat die kerke op die platteland so goed onderhou word.👍
Dit is baie goed en intersante en mooi Daar meer ding doen.❤🎉😊😂
Thank you for this trip and what you showed us. It was well worth to watch. Next trip I will be there
Thank you for taking the time again to come and explore with us. We'll see you roadside again on Friday! 🚙😁
Hi Sonia and Curtis, Thank you gor another drive along. Coulnt believe the ammount of silos. The flamingoes were beautiful. As was your sighting of the buffalos. Pity you couldnt show us some drone footage. Looking forward to the next episode. Travel safe guys! ❤
Droney stuck his head out briefly and then decided nope, it's way too freezing up there for me to risk it. 🥶 It's always fantastic seeing wildlife and the flamingoes and buffalo were absolutely beautiful. So happy you enjoyed! 🚙😊
I had no idea of this place - thank you for opening my eyes of such a lovely place!
Our pleasure! 🚙😁 That's why we travel, it's the best education possible!
Hi Curtis, Sonia, Dusty and Sandy, lekker snoesig in the back there. Minus 4 you say, jinne hectic bananas. Another great town, love the sylos and very cool overnight space. Safe travels 🥾❤
Dusty and Sandy had to sit tightly together, it was absolutely freezing that morning! 🥶🧸 Our accommodation was fantastic, we had a cosy and relaxed evening after dinner. Those silos were incredible, the agriculture in that part of our country blew our minds! 🚙🌽
Love die plek is baie mooi . Dankie nogmals geniet als baie. Veilig ry
Thank you for your company on all our trips, we appreciate it very much! 🚙🤩 I'm glad you enjoyed our visit to the town of Delareyville.
Nice town ❤
27:00 kan in my geestesoog sien hoe lekker die mense hier geswem het in die 80”s.
Hi there I live in Greece. My brother and family lives in delarayville. Greetings from Greece
i like the jungle Jim for you to exercise on Curtis!
Baie dankie vriende.
Thanks for joining us in Delareyville! 🚙
I know the farm which you showed in the beginning of the video, my Oupa was a book keeper for all the farmers in the Vryburg area.
Interesting. Thank you for watching our video! 🚙😁
@teresawhite6112 was your grandfather's surname PALM?
@@janpretorius9772 No,his name was Nick Redelinghys
Another great episode . Thanks . Another bit of trivia .As you correctly said Migdal is Hebrew for 'tower', and comes from a tiny village on the shore of the Sea of Galilee where Mary Magdalene was born , hence her name after MIGDAL.
Interesting! Thank you for the info. 👌🏻🇮🇱 There were certainly a lot of 'towers' at Migdol Silo.
According to my cousin Dries, farming in the district, they suffer from cattle theft
I can easily believe that with all the cattle in that area. 🐂🐃
Nice place, but it was paining to see non functional sports facilities including that dilapidated swimming pool, your resting place was wow to me because it seems quite and relaxing, stay safe and thanks for the journey.
I agree with you, it's always sad to see defunct facilities of any kind. It's part of the reality of our country though and we document just as we find it. 🚙🇿🇦 Our accommodation was indeed absolutely fantastic! 😍🏡
happy liquidation
I doubt if any liquidation is ever a happy one. 😏
Some years we passed through Delareyville in the early hours of the morning during a road trip from Ermelo to Port Nolloth. It was good to see the town through your lenses during the day.
It's amazing how different a place looks when it's dark. I'm happy that we could show you Delareyville by day! 🚙😁 That road trip of yours sounds like an exciting one!
it has to be busy to be able yo support such a big church
Indeed, and it sounds like the congregations were even bigger back in the day when the churches were built. 💒
I was expecting the song of Delarey to be playing as the drone flew over the buffaloes. . The - 4 C frost put paid to that. So sad to see the railway station building and the swimming baths in such a poor condition. At least the golf club and the bowling club are still in working order. I loved Sonia's choice of meal for Curtis. Dit is mos n mansmens se soort kos. You cannot beat a good chop, wors , steak followed by two fried eggs and slap chips.🍟🥖🥩🍳 Lekker ! And lets not forget the Lion Lager to wash it all down.. As soon as I saw the flamingos I began to think of "Pretty flamingo " by Manfred Man. Those grain silos are just incredible .So many of them and they are huge. What a credit to the farmers of that district. My wife did not like the bath and toilet exposed to the bedroom at the Plaas Jaapie.. No shower either. But still a very nice place to stay.
I was just as disappointed about the drone, but it was bitterly cold that morning. 🥶 If UA-cam didn't have such strict copyright policies, I may have been tempted to play De La Rey. We were humming it all day. Yup, everyone has different preferences and luckily we didn't have an issue with the open bathroom at all. 😁
The tower structures at the start of the video were used to store fodder for mainly milking cows. In Afrikaans we called it "kuilvoer". Mostly fresh cut maze mixed with molasses.
Thank you for the confirmation, I think we were on the right track. 😁🐄
7:20 Treinkaartjie na nêrens…aai tog.😫
The ticket office sign was still there though, that was special to me. 🚉
There was a time in history when the NG church and the Hervormde Kerk amalgamated ( as you saw on the church cornerstone)….. it only lasted for a short period before they split up again. The Dutch Reformed church in Africa (Hervormde Kerk is mainly a Transvaal church and you will surely find a congregation in almost every town on this trip.
Interesting indeed. The Dutch Reformed Church in Africa is one we've only ever seen in the North West and you're 100% correct. We did find one in almost every town. 🚙💒 I appreciate the info, thank you.
When are you going to visit Lichtenburg, NW? Looking forward to see a video about that town, as well as Zeerust, NW.
Thank you for the suggestions. We're back home from.the NW and I'm in the process of editing the rest of our videos, so I'm sure you'll enjoy them too. 🚙😁
Roodewal, third name Piet Bezuidenhout cousin of my oupa
Wens julle kon Piet Plessis, Tosca en dieper die Kalahari in gaan toer het.
Our goal is to see as many places as we can in our country and we have to work out routes which make the most sense for the time we have available on the road. We make a point of enjoying each place we get to visit and not think or worry about any other places. There would simply be no point then. 🚙🤷🏻♂️
Ek hou van Jule nuwe intrede van die vidious.
Thank you! 🚙😊 We thought it was time for a fun one.
i live in Delarywil and stella
We visited Stella in Episode 503 if you haven't seen it yet. 🚙😁
Interessante video, dankie. Die manne by die golfbaan speel met "lawn darts". Dis eintlik onwettig in die VSA en Kanada nadat dit die dood van 'n klomp kinders veroorsaak het.
I've never seen anything like it before. I would imagine the darts could be dangerous if not handled correctly, but it certainly looks like a very interesting game to play. 🎯 Thank you for watching! 🚙👌🏻
Noordwes Kooperasie Beperk
Yup, that's what we read on that one building. And saw so many times afterwards in the province. 🌽
54:23 sjoe geen privaatheid met daai toilet nie.😧
It might not be for everyone, but that didn't bother us at all. 🤷🏻♂️ We were grateful for the fantastic accommodation provided by our host. 🏡
History between, the two Afrikaner churches.....NG and NH. Round about the Great Trek the NG split in two congregations. Nederduitse Gereformeerd and Hervormd. Their was again a split in to three when the Gereformeerd was form in the 1870's. Some of the NH algamated with some of the NG and form the Nederduitse en Hervormende Kerk......who was against "sendeling" [bring the Word of God to the black tribes] Today their is only three NG, NH and Gerofomeerd. In 1983 another with the Afrikaanse Protestantse Kerk
Hi, great channel but one point of constructive criticism - the new AI intro doesn’t look good, it looks cheap, the original was way better! Anyway thanks for all you do!
@@mikenelson3750 are you guys going to Schweizer Reneke. Please don’t miss it. It’s really worth a visit. Love this channel. I’m in the UK and my sister in law is in Schweizer Reneke. Would love to see it mentioned. Thanks for taking us on these amazing journeys
#mikenelson3750 Thank you, I'm glad you enjoy our videos. 🚙👌🏻 We thought it was time for a new, fun intro and we're very happy with it. The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive and we'll stick with it for a while. We're basic, down-to-earth travellers who don't take ourselves too seriously, so we're OK with it if it doesn't look like an expensive production . 😁
@gillianvictor5497 We're long back home from the NW already but I do hope you spot some towns you enjoy along the way. Thanks for the suggestion! 😎🚙
