  • In this episode, we left the beautiful Free State province for home and decided to address some of the questions we've received from you about various topics. The drive home flew by, as it felt like we had all of you right there with us in the car. Thank you for exploring a big part of the Free State with us and for joining us on this journey back home. We look forward to having you with us in the next one. #DustBugs #dustbugstravel #southafrica #southafricavlog #travelongravel #home #freestate

    I get very heart sore when I see abandoned railway tracks and stations. My late husband was a technician, he looked after the phone lines for the old SAR&H, and we lived in a number of the smaller towns you cover. I’m glad he never lived long enough to see that the 40 years of his working life has nothing left of it. We had a wonderful marriage and three precious children, so my memories are very happy ones. Enjoy your break, and look forward to your next trip. I’m 87 so yours is the only travelling I do now!

      While it will always be sad to see the destruction of the railway stations and network, we're happy to document them for those who come after us. Each one, no matter how neglected, tells a story of a colourful past and we're happy to tread in the shoes of those who walked there before us, like your beloved husband. We never dwell on the sad or negative for long though, there are just too much beauty which still abounds which we have no choice but to celebrate, share and enjoy. 😍🇿🇦 Thank you for joining us on our travels. 🚙😊

    Hi you two! Your Free State trip was was wonderful. Thank you for letting me join your homeward trip. Your answers were most informative. Your obsession with rail station ruins and name boards, churches and gravel roads is exactly why I am such a great fan of yours. I hope you had (are having?) a good rest before our next adventure. Wherever to, I'm eagerly waiting! Stay safe!

    Love you guys

    • @DustBugsTravel
      @DustBugsTravel  25 วันที่ผ่านมา +3

      I agree with you, Dusty was simply meant to be. The chances of finding a little brown bear on a dusty gravel road (nogal!) was just too much of a coincidence for us too. I think it would've bothered us forever had we in fact given him away that day. 😥🧸 I'm happy to hear you enjoyed this different trip home, it was fun filming and it made the long road quite a bit shorter. I hope you know how much we appreciate your support and we look forward to showing you where we're off to soon. 🚙😁

    Hi Curtis Sonia and Dusty, this has really been a magical journey, I've enjoyed all the towns and dorpies of the Eastern Free State, the derelict in some parts also reminds us of our history and the memorials and churches continue to remind us, of how we got here.
    Curtis as mentioned before, you were my hero when you rescued Dusty on the gravel road and I was stoked, when you decided to make him a full fledged family member.
    Thank you for the journey, continue with safe travels 🥾❤❤

    Thanks for the Freestate adventures Curtis and Sonia. Where did you get the Foot-Long-Dogs in Winburg. I will be travelling from Joburg to Durbanville in July and I am going to get one

      And thank you so much for joining us, it was a fantastic trip! 🚙😁 I'm sure you'll love that footlong. If you Google 'Alpha Cafe Winburg', you'll get the number and the directions to their shop. I wish I could have one again right now! 🌭

    My goodness... What a fabulous drive home with you two. Never enjoyed that, journey more😂. Your wonderful honest response to the questions being posed was soooo delightful. Just love your spontaneous attitude. So refreshing. No doubt your interest in railway stations churches and old bridges stimulate an intrigue into how life operated in those days. You are a remarkable couple.... I applaud your differences. Thank you so much for doing what you doing... You are great. Sonja I so understand your situation... Am a lot older than you but suffer the same obstacles. So much love to you beautiful souls. ❤❤

      Thank you for your kind words. 🚙😁 We are super blessed to travel together and enjoy it tremendously. It's the differences between us that make things work between us. 🥰 I'm glad you enjoyed our journey home, which was great fun for us as well. We look forward to showing you many more churches and stations. 🚉💒

    Hello Curtis en Sonia, ons geniet vir julle (3) só baie!
    Noudat ons vir Dusty ook ontmoet het, en verneem hy moet soms tuis bly😊, wie gee vir hom kos as julle gaan galavant?😃🤣😃 On another note : we really appreciate "traveling" with you guys, and you are our favorites amongst all the TH-cam channels that we have subscribed to❤❤❤❤ Bossie + Maria, Vanrhynsdorp

      Poor Dusty! He wasn't happy staying at home while we were travelling locally, but when we explained to him that he would've had to endure very high temperatures, he understood. 😍🧸 We never leave him overnight though and we always make sure he has ample supplies of water and food before we leave the house. We so appreciate your kind words and company on our trips. We sure look forward to having you on the backseat for a long time to come! 🚙😁

    Hi guys. Beeeg fan of your channel. If ever you guys happen to pass through Klerksdorp in the North West Province, do visit us at Klerksdorp Museum. Promise, you will find it worthwhile, and we are sure your viewers will do so too. We are also easily accessible for Sonja (no steps, ample safe parking on the museum grounds)

      Thank you for the kind invitation, I'll certainly keep it in mind when we're in your neck-of-the-woods. 👌🏻 I'm so happy to hear you enjoy our videos. The North West is definitely in our not-too-distant travel plans! 🚙😁

    Good Morning hope you had a safe journey home after a wonderful exploration of Free State could you please next time visit a town of Bethlehem it's a wonderful and beautiful place. As for Sonia I saw her in 2 episodes I will never mention them for her privacy but you accidentally captured her while filming while you were buying food. Thank you for this beautiful content.

    • @DustBugsTravel
      @DustBugsTravel  24 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      I'm glad you enjoyed our visit to my beloved Free State. 🚙🧡 We may decide to include Bethlehem on a future return visit to the province, but there are no firm plans for that just yet. There are other places waiting to be explored and we have to answer some of those calls first. 😁 Thank you for joining us on our travels!

    Enjoy your travels so much & having done some of those very dorpies in Eastern Free State, Fouriesburg & others in Mpumalanga you have recently done etc etc ! .... one you might have missed was Memel .... also interesting little place !!
    Please next time you head out to Stanford side of the Cape please see if you can see the house built from car tires that someone built late 80's - mid 90's it was quite a new thing / method those years .... if not still today .
    Thank you you for sharing these leka road trips ... always enjoy them !!!😊😊

      @DustBugsTravel  25 วันที่ผ่านมา

      I'm glad you're happy in George. 👌🏻 Kruger, and especially Letaba, would top any list for us and Strand is a distant second. The big problem with Strand is the distance from Kruger, that worries me greatly. 🚙😏

      We're not in the market to buy a wheelchair, we still have too much hope left that Sonia's knee issues may miraculously be resolved some day. 🤞🏻Thanks for the suggestion though.

  • @davenewbitt
    @davenewbitt 24 วันที่ผ่านมา

    Another series topped of, lovely trip thanks. We think here Sonjia that as she is an important part of the show and tema, we the public deserve to she her. Also, as a thought would it not be nice to get a lightweight folding wheelchair, for those moments when it would be nice for you to share the experiences together, like for example, a walk around Clarens, would have been nice for you both to enjoy, there are many opportunities for you to have time to set this up on your trips i am sure. Then you mention you are making memories, which is great, but also sharing with us. But, we here think its that you are documenting the towns and dorps, for history, as these towns we do not have many pictures of the past, but we now know what they look like today, in 50 years and more, people will be able to see what it was like in the old days, would be nice to have achieves for others to see in the future. Thanks again, looking forward to the next trip. Keep well Dave and Angie

      I'm glad you enjoyed this trip with us! 🚙😁 Both topics of Sonia not wishing to be filmed and her not keen on using a wheelchair while we're travelling, were comprehensively addressed in this video. Both these decisions will always be hers and only hers to make and we have to accept and respect that. 🥰 While we're happy documenting the towns and places we get to visit, tht's not our main goal. We travel purely for fun and if our videos serve a purpose beyond just our memories, that's a huge bonus. Thank you for watching!

      @@DustBugsTravel Thanks for replying, we understand totally what you do, how you do it and understand what your saying, and we are not telling you to change anything, just want to share ideas, and support. As i know what it is like to live in pain, as i have multiple injuries to my spine i live in 24/7 pain, and i cannot travel as much as Sonia can, a bit envious. really Keep up the great work. Can't wait to see where you visit next. lots of love to you both.

    We love travelling all over with you! Sonja we enjoy your company and a would love to see the face behind the voice. It is definitely about the places you visit- but the two of you make it very special, so in that sense it is also very much about you guys. On the other hand being a bit of a mystery woman keeps it interesting 😅

    • @DustBugsTravel
      @DustBugsTravel  25 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      It's great to hear you enjoy being on the road with us. 🚙😁 It really isn't about the mystery for Sonia, she just doesn't want to be filmed. 🥰 I hope along with all of you that she changes her mind one day, but there is no light at the end of that particular tunnel just yet. I asked again today. 🤷🏻‍♂️

    I enjoyed the Q & A ,especially with the Free State and Karoo as the real screen ...very interesting how the two of you met...my summation of the towns that you visited on this trip..definitely corporate agriculture plays a role, most towns seem to be underpinned with strong commercial trading, the residential areas, for the most part, seem neat and maintained echoing the areas prosperity. My or our gratitude 🙏 also goes out to the guesthouses that have sponsored the videos, if your input costs are reduced we get to see more plus the guesthouses are also showcased by professionals in the field of showcasing properties so its a win win for all of us. For myself I now know where to book because one thing that I learnt about Sonia, her choices are usually what I would choose. I hope that every establishment enjoys 100% occupancy. I agree with you re the episodes being about the content and not so much about the two of you...its a format that has proved to be your success. Other channels seem more focused on the creators than the place, I want to see the place. Everyone of course is welcome to his or her individual preferences, however I prefer yours. Sonia does have a "made for commentary voice"...I cannot wait for the next episodes. 😀

    • @DustBugsTravel
      @DustBugsTravel  24 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Trust you to provide the summary of all summaries, I love it! I'm happy to assign that role to you going forward. 😁 There is so much in your comment that I echo, most notably our sincere appreciation towards the accommodation establishments that sponsored our videos. And then of course both Sonia and I feel very strongly that our videos are most certainly not about the two of us, but about the places we visit and the things we see. I'm happy you're in agreement, because that is how we plan to continue. 🚙🤩 We're almost ready to hit the long road again and look forward to sharing some interesting places when we return. It means so much knowing that you'll be ready and waiting to jump on board, thank you for your continued support of our channel.

      We might do another Q & A in a future video, but we've answered enough personal questions for now. ☺️ Sonia said she might reconsider in the future, but she's still not keen on being filmed, so we all have to respect that until she hopefully changes her mind one day. 🥰 We appreciate you travelling with us. 🚙
