  • Having just gone through the stunningly beautiful Meringspoort, we had the privilege of staying over at Meijer’s Rust. What an awesome place just outside De Rust! The next morning after joining the farmer for a short while to move his cattle to another grazing field, we left the farm and headed for the picturesque Klein Karoo village of De Rust. Yet another small town which is doing so well for itself. The old Victorian style houses are all so neat, the gardens are wonderful and the people are very warm and friendly. Driving through De Rust we could see how it was nestled between the majestic Swartberg and Kammanassie mountains on the scenic Route 62. #DustBugs #adventuretravel #southafrica #southafricavlog #derust #karoo #meiringspoort #village

    Shake shake the tomato sauce bottle! First none will come, and then a lottle!! Nothing beats a good boerewors. I can almost smell it. One of the things I miss over here in New Zealand. What a beautiful place to stay in. Love the bidet in the loo. De Rust is amazing. My ancestors are from here. Love the antique shop. And yes, I remember the nommer asseblief fone. Those were the days. Now I feel old. Hell, I AM old!

      🤣 Indeed! She knew it was going to happen though! 🌭 It's a wonderfully beautiful part of the Klein Karoo. 😍 Your ancestors were fortunate to have called this area home.

      @DustLust Oh, tomato sauce is for sekere smake wat mens wil toegooi! Not real boerewors! That would be sacrilege

    Wow awesome beautiful farmstay. Loved the pretty town of De Rust. The Mengelmoeskardoes caught my attention with the Police exhibit and wind up telephones. Pretty houses with mountain views. Thank you the wake up coffee show and as always keep the wow (World of Wonder) factor and the awesome ( spelled out in words in last video comment). 😀😀😀😀😀☀️

    Thanks for the memories, De Rust has developed some since I was there last in 2014 it seems. Only two things I can fault with this video, one is not mentioning the huge Aloes as you entered your stayover pozzie and two is not using the fire pit to cook the boerie on. Mooi loop from a expat SA oke now living in California. Hope to be there next August. I would have to stay over on that farm as well.

    • @DustBugsTravel
      @DustBugsTravel  Рік тому +3

      Thank you, we're glad that you enjoyed the video and hopefully you'll forgive us the two 'mistakes'. 😁 You should definitely stay on that farm, the host is a South African who lived in California for 35 years. He has US license plates and road signs on the farm roads and buildings too! 🇺🇸 Having lived in NY and FL ourselves for a number of years, we rather enjoyed that quirkiness! 🤩

    • @stuff0music
      @stuff0music Рік тому +2

      I have that place pinned on my Google maps already. My aloe like that, Aloe Ferox is growing well here for about twenty years but is only about 1/4 that size. Couldn’t help but spot it as you came in. Lekker travel, I’m catching up on all your travels. SA is one beautiful place.

    How privileged those people are to live on such a beautiful farm. The area is awe inspiring. It sometimes takes one, to move away from South Africa to genuinely appreciate its beauty and uniqueness. Also the many wonderful people with their colourful personalities. Thank you both for your wonderful videos showcasing SA, it is a sure way to rid me of my " grumpy goatness" : D

We often have grand plans to prepare food in the evenings and film it, but we're so bushed when we arrive, that we just don't get to it. 🤷‍♂️ Most of our food is on the go or takeaway style. 🍲🥘

    My aunt and Uncle owned the house that is now Oliviers Rust in the main road (#9) in the 1980/90s. Stayed over one night from Pretoria to Keurbooms (thru Meiringspoort). I remember sitting with my uncle on the stoep the next morning having "koffie" and him chirping the Dominee's wife and her friends jogging past. What a memory from Perth Western Australia. A very special town is De Rust. A great video. Well done.

      Greetings to you in Australia! 🙋‍♀️🙋🏼‍♂️ We loved the town and of course the scenery in the area is breathtaking! 😍 Having recently driven down that main road, I can just imagine you and your uncle on the porch, observing all the goings-on. That street lends itself perfectly to brilliant people-watching, I'm sure! 😁

    It was our first visit to your channel😊 thank you for sharing this with us. I love detail and would like to ask you ( if it's at all possible) that when you drive through the towns, if you could just comment more on the little shops you pass.😊 you drove too fast for us to read the names and see what types of shops it was. Love you guys and can't wait to watch the rest of your videos ❤

      Welcome to our channel! 🚙😁 Shops aren't really our thing, but we do show some in detail on occasion. I don't see that changing, I'm afraid. We much prefer exploring a town to find its historical sites and buildings, cool architecture and other places and things we find interesting, and of course its surrounding natural beauty.

      No problem, I'm happy to answer. 👍🏻 Sonia has always been very camera-shy and I haven't been able to convince her yet to appear in front of the camera with me. 😁 She has a very serious knee problem after failed knee surgeries and it's difficult for her to get in and out of the vehicle as often as I do. Uneven surfaces and stairs are also a no-no for her for the most part. 😣

      Avontuur sounds intriguing. 👌🏻We did travel this road between Knysna and Uniondale, but did not have time to stop at Avontuur. We had to make it to Uniondale for provisions before closing time and to our farmstay before dark, so we pushed on. Check out Episodes 82 to 85 for our journey through this area. 😊
