Loving all this back seat driving. Paul Roux is a stunning place. Beautiful old oak tree. I love that you find all these gems in these small towns 🎉❤🎉 the old hotel is next level....loved it
Thanks for another interesting video and for the translations on the gravestones, cornerstones, and other historical markers. Keep up the good work! Cheers from Cypress, TX!
Hi you two! Thank you for this trip over the wonderful wide plains of the OFS. Paul Roux is a real sandstone gem of living history. The DR Church was really unique, so is the woodwork of the old furniture at the hotel. Surprises everywhere along the treelined gravel streets - beautiful! Greetings from the Waterberg foot hills with on/off internet. Until next time, Keep safe!
My idea of a perfect little "dorp" with tree-lined gravel roads and beautiful stonemasonry everywhere, and life still caught-up in the early 20th century. If only the walls of the hotel (now the lodge) could speak. Awesome video. Thank you.
Hi afternoon guys, as usual I welcome myself into the car. It's been a while since I was not driving along. Love the Freestate as they call it the bread basket of the country. Please enjoy the trip. 😊
I was very happy that I could get inside that gorgeous church! These folks in the small towns are so proud of their church buildings and it's never too much trouble for them to open for us. 🚙💒 Luckily this church hasn't needed high fences, the community has looked after it and its grounds very well over the years.
In the last couple of episodes you have mentioned the colourful cosmos flowers growing by the roadside. These plants are indigenous to Central and South America. During the Anglo-Boer War, the British imported fodder for their horses from Argentina and Mexico. Some of the fodder was contaminated with cosmos plants, the seeds of which found a new home in South Africa resulting in the plant having spread to many parts of the country.
What a nice place to visit. I enjoyed every second of it. The church and old hotel are stunning. Such a deep rich history locked up there.thank you for this trip. How cant i say i am on board the next one
Hi you two. Wow wow!!! Another town with the most beautiful sandstone buildings and Church. Looking forward to see the next town. Safe travel. God bless 😊
And we're so grateful that you're still along for the ride, we always value your comments and your company! 🚙😁 A special hello from Dusty, who is super chuffed that he always gets a mention! 🧸😍
And thank you for joining us each time! 🚙😁 It was absolutely wonderful to see so many stone buildings in one small town. We loved every single one of them.
Paul Roux I know it so well. Been to it many times. Later this year I'll be in the Western Cape. Out and about looking for good images to photograph. The Eastern Free State I know very well. And its awesome photographic site.
Thanks for sharing video of your trip to Paul Roux; the NGK interior was soothing. The map at the start of your video seems to be filling up with dots marking the places visited. How many towns in the Orange Free State have you not visited already? 🤔 Biddulphsberg farm mountain retreat gets good reviews, so it might well be worth a visit in future. ☮️
@Tim_Kent thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed Paul Roux with us! While I keep track of the places we've visited on our map, I can't tell you offhand how many Free State towns we've been to, but it's many and we hope to visit many more in the future! 🚙😁
Hi guys you just keep on finding them absolutely loved Paul Roux stone buildings every where stunning church with a friendly gardener ( Italian Pow connection again) flip a stone to choose the name of the town brilliant. Old Hotel had refined atmosphere amazing. The pink tricycle tearoom was definitely my cup of tea !!! Interesting you still have salt and vinegar on your aswe do in uk. Thanks for taking me along cheerio till the next one
There was a bit of a hair-pulling session during the Boar war at biddulphsberg on 25 May 1900 when a detachment of British troops from Gen Rundles 8 Corp & a Boer commando clashed on the slopes of this mountain, hence the battlefield (cannon) symbol on the route marker. During this fight, being in the winter, the veld caught fire resulting in some wounded dying in the flames. Paul Roux has the additional, trick or treat, distinction of being the birthplace of P.W Botha.
Birth place of P W Botha who was president of South Africa when I first visited South Africa in 1983 and fell in Love with The Country particularly The Open space The Veldt been visiting almost evry year since from England

What a lovely church building. Looks like it was built yesterday.

Paul Roux never had it so good!
There was such lovely old furniture in the Old Hotel. Very well preserved. Love it.

Such unique places need to be repurposed to keep history and never let them loose their touch with the past❤🙏🇿🇦👍
Baie dankie dat ek kon saamry , dis n baie oulike dorpie. 😊
Baie dankie vir die man wat vir julle die kerk oopgemaak het!!🙏🙏Deesdae is die meeste kerke toegesluit, om plunderaars uit te hou....🤨Mooie plek!!❤❤

Quite a lot of interesting things in Paul Roux. The church is a masterpiece.

The hotel is indeed still operational. Hats off to them for keeping it in such great shape! 🏨👌🏻
Beautiful variety of trees. Wasn't expecting that. And now I am lus vir slap chips!!!

You better be ready when we're ready to pick you up for the next one! You have no option anymore, you're a fixture on the backseat! 🚙😁
....probably a print, the painting of Cornelis van Gogh in the hotel room, he died in ABW2 in Brandfort.....brother of the famous Dutchman Vincent....
Hi you two. Wow wow!!! Another town with the most beautiful sandstone buildings and Church. Looking forward to see the next town. Safe travel. God bless 😊
Hi Curtis Sonia and Dusty, loving the Free State ❤
And we're so grateful that you're still along for the ride, we always value your comments and your company! 🚙😁 A special hello from Dusty, who is super chuffed that he always gets a mention! 🧸😍
A very square building, the church. Lovely!!!🙃🎶🙏

Normally I record some of episodes, if I can't watch it live due work.
Lovely video As a matter of interest PW Botha was born in Paul Roux 1916
Interessant vir my dat al die pragtige ou kerke binne n rooi mat op die vloer het

What a beautiful town.will definitely be on my next road trip. My question is where were the people in the beautiful places you went into?
I would imagine doing what the folks in Paul Roux do on a random Tuesday morning. 😁
This town being the Birth place of P W Botha so I am sure some money was spent here to beautify it during his tenure
Intermediate school is grade 4 to grade 7. Old std 2 to std 5.❤
That cherios that you lot were eating I will only eat with fruit flavoured yogurt. With milk, I "throw up".
Different strokes for different folks. 🍵
How about a visit to Bethlehem?
Perhaps on a return visit to the Free State. We were in the mood to explore smaller towns this time around, for the most part. 🚙😁
Daardie is nie gesonde kos nie,
What a beautiful, clean little dorpie!
