    I have been to Vosburg about 6 years ago. Lovely quaint little town, with lovely friendly people. Seems like nothing has changed. Thanks for bringing back memories.

I finally convinced him to do a Karoo Roadtrip with me and he discovered your channel after researching a few of the places I told him we’ll visit. We have so much fun watching the videos and we are looking forward to tread in your footsteps in December. Safe travels!

    Today I for the first time watched one of your videos and decided to see if you have been to Vosburg. And low and behold you were there in Aug. You stayed in the B+B were my sister and brother-in-law has their house on the oppesite corner, right side if you back is to the B+B. The greyish house. Man my heart just about left my body. And if somebody watched this 2 part video and are on their way there, just like to mention that there will be a good, old fashioned bazaar there this weekend. Go and visit a well loved, well looked after Karoo dorp.

      Welcome, we're so happy you joined us! 🙋🏼‍♂️🙋🏻‍♀️ What a small world it is. We absolutely loved, loved, loved our stay in Vosburg and at our accommodation. Our hosts were incredibly friendly and informative about the area and we found the entire town so charming that we often think back to our time there. Well-loved, well looked-after. You hit the nail on the head. Thank you for the info about the bazaar, wish we could go! 🤩🥳

    • @DustBugsTravel
      @DustBugsTravel  2 года назад +2

      This Steenbokkie is on 4 January and agrees with you fully that's it's a lousy time of year. Everyone is still celebrating Christmas and New Year and fed-up because they have to return to work and couldn't give two hoots about celebrating a birthday. 🙃 We live many hours away from the Karoo, but it calls us back time-after-time. And we're always happy to answer that call! 😍

      The only place we'll ever travel to with a flask, is to Kruger where it is exclusively reserved for Milo. 😁 We're happy to order takeaway cappuccino or hot chocolate whenever we feel like it. I'm not sure what fuel you're referring to, but I fuel myself at least three times a day, just not always on camera.
