S1 - Ep 489 - Prince Alfred’s Hamlet, Western Cape!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 жов 2024
- We were pleasantly surprised by the stunning beauty of Prince Alfred’s Hamlet. Driving through the streets of this charming village, we were captivated by the vibrant reds, yellows, and oranges of the autumn leaves. The sight of the surrounding orchards and learning about the significance of the fruit-growing industry in the area made our visit even more special. Our accommodation was very comfortable, and the next morning we were thrilled to visit the station and see it for ourselves after admiring pictures of it at the hotel the previous night. Our visit to Prince Alfred’s Hamlet will always hold a special place in our hearts. #DustBugs #dustbugstravel #adventuretravel #southafrica #southafricavlog #travelongravel #westerncape #hamlet #princealfredhamlet

This town needs promoting. What a lovely dorpie
I am from Hamlet.....hmmm....sounds rather Shakespearean! At least it's not Omelet, which would be decidedly eggy. Delightful place. Beautiful autumn colours, those trees are so stunning.
Such a lovely little town, thank you guys. Take care.🙃🙏💕🇿🇦
An absolutely beautiful town. So green and well looked after. The trees are stunning this time of the year. Well presentedthank you for this trip. Indeed a tranquill place where you can forget reality.nice meal you had. Next one i am on board
Hi guys another gem love the name. The accommodation was spotless and the stoop at the front of the house cherry on top!!!to be able to sit and have a lion large looking at the autumnal colours of the trees and the majestic mountains. Love the banter about the beer ( they don't sell 6 packs in the UK only 4 so I get 2 packs my wife says that's my couple of beers lol😅) interesting history and well done with the detective work sorting out the dates of the church. Love night drive lamp posts and what a amazing county lodge hotel it had a older gentile vibe with the photos of the past and thanks for the Afrikaans lesson reading the quotes on the table cloth the last one about gravel could have been written for you two glad you saw the name boards at the station. What a lovely place to retire to .with all those pears it's a wonder they don't make PERRY It's like cider but with pears .amazing video thanks for taking me along cheerio till the next one
What a beautiful town when we go camping in Ceres we always go to the spar for our supplies people are very friendly thank you for showing us more of the town.
😂 Enjoy Dustbugs.
The two of you makes me so full of insperecien to compare with our journeys to this magnificent country. Bless you!
Very beautiful town and mountains.... thank you our favorite people ❤
Hello from Florida USA. I am enjoying your videos. You are a fun couple. Prince Albert Hamlet is a beautiful town and the fall colors are outstanding.❤😊
GBU I really enjoyed this precious program and the way you laugh and f
Respect one another s
Enjoy
....
Good to see you guys again, enjoying to travel with you in and about our beautiful country. Could I ask you a favour please... would it be possible to also see if the various towns still have airfields that are operational. This could also be an indication as to how well such a town is doing economically. Keep up the good work and stay awesome!
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoy our videos. 🚙😊 We'll certainly mention it if we happen to spot an airfield, but we don't see them that often. 🛩
Truly a beautiful spick and span little hamlet gloriously clad in Autumn colours. Almost a cozy little place. Lovely stop. Thank you.
wonderful show
supper was worth waiting to see
Mooi plek het dit baie geniet. Veilig ry
Hello 'G'day" from Queensland, Australia!
I'm just loving your travels and the information you provide, especially the history.
It usually takes me twice as long to watch because I follow using Google Earth to get a better understanding of the landscape, and what a spectacular landscape South Africa has.
Wishing you all the best in your future travels.
I simply love you two. Your sense of humor amazes me. What a lovely little town. Those mountain's are awesome. Thank you for the experience for all the places you have taken us to. We may never get to see all the beautiful places, but thanks to you guys we can enjoy every bit of it through your travel channel. Safe traveling mercies.❤
I loved Prince Alfred Hamlet with its beautiful trees and mountains. I'm very impressed with how clean it is. Lovely stuff! Till our next trip, keep safe & healthy ❤🙏
The architecture of the Church in Port Alfred's Hamlet must have been designed by the same architect as the St Charles Catholic Church in Victory Park, Johannesburg. It is affectionately known as the Lemon Squeezer. It has the same lines as the Dutch Reformed Church.
Hi I used to go lemon squeezer church back in the 70s from Kent England
Great episode on Hamlet! I really appreciated the colourful leaves on the trees! If you packed the boot full of lemons, you could have made a boatload of hummus at home!
That pork chop was brilliant❤❤❤
On my Windhoek to Cape travels (and vice versa), I always wanted to stop here and in Ceres, yet never took the time. You've discovered it for me. I've had countless juices from that region. The light is incredible. The best, lekker!
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.
ja ek het daar groot geword en skool gegaan in die 60 gejare
Baie dankie vriende.
GBU Gmng Wow that's awesome I love this place ❤😊
Hopefully one day,I can go check these wee places everywhere..This one looks really peaceful …Mooi man..🇿🇦

I looked after Mrs Kahn in Rondebosch at Evergreen.Her sons at that time owned the Prince Alfred Hamlets Hotel.Her one son left and the other one carried on.
Mrs Kahn said she could get on a train a😢nd go to Cape Town.Go to Stutafords
Stutafords have lunch do shopping and get back on the train in Caoe
Stuttafords for lunch get back on the train at Cape Town and go home.
Lovely. Allermooiste plekkie.
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
Wow, can't imagine south africa without afrikanerz❤😊
Sent you an email. Did you notice at the station was a turning triangle for the locomotives to turn around? Sometimes ago there was talk of a train running to the hamlet for the fruit farmers - I'm not sure that happened but my friends and I went to check the line for this purpose some years ago.
Ah, nevermind I hadn't gotten to the point where you explained the triangle.
Emails are up to about 150 a day now, but I will respond in due course. 📧 It's very clear that trains haven't run there in quite some time, which is always sad to us. 🚉🛤️
GBU Gmng u remind

As been checking how you guys been ride on the map. And did you now there is an was another route did go faster to to Hamlet. As to go the hole and long long road to Hamlet that was longer then the other route been take. As well another route to Ceres and Hamlet. If did go out de doorns to towsriver side about 10km and turn left pass an private game resurf an a will be 1st Been in Hamlet before you guys will be in Hamlet
That road looks longer to me on the map. It realy doesn't matter what road we take, we'll never take the chequered flag. We're cool with that! 🚙🏁
you can sit there and drink beer
