BLACK South Africans ARE not GONNA let THEM.Their days are Numbered. Goie job my Broer , KEEP on with your Enlighting of ZAns
Baie daar gekom as kind. Op Attie Fourie en Truida Groenewald se troue gesing in daai pragtige kerkie jare terug. Ek was seker toe so 12 jaar oud. Dankie Willie! Ons geniet al jou videos en love jou persoonlikheid❤
Watching it with our morning coffee. This is where my father grew up and my cousin has bought the house and renovated it. You showed it in the beginning of the video with the stream flowing next to it and under the road.
Cheers Danny! Delighted to hear you enjoy my videos. As someone who also lives abroad, I miss home sometimes. This is a great opportunity for me to showcase more of the country so I'm determined to bring you more content! Thanks again
Thanks Jasper, definitely a lot of memories here. Amazing to see how much development the area has undergone. And cheers re the channel growth, this is very encouraging indeed!
Thank you Willie for a wonderful video. Wat 'n beautiful dorpie, wens ek kon daar gaan bly, maar die see is bietjie ver weg - ek bly in Gamtoos, kom kuier gerus
Brilliant video willie just watching it looks more inspiring interesting ideal location for visiting these peacefully places are most watched i furthermore enjoyable!
Nice sign showing that the street walks dead😁 I can see everything is in the hook there, heavy👍 I've heard there are no more lazyhorses and oilvants, like in the days of the frontpullers, but that you still get ironpigs, peelpaths and many needleboilers there! If the citizen master in Baardskeerdersbos has a work for an English underpointer, order me on, please🤠
Thanks for the compliment and for watching my videos! Your support is greatly appreciated. Lots of hidden gems in South Africa and B'bos is definitely one of them!
Thanks Joe, what a great gesture from you! That says a lot about how the community support each other and welcome others. What a great village you live in!
Willie Explore, I Thank you for this video, from BAARDSKERDERSBOS, 180 km from Cape Town, which had such a personal meaning to you! Very fascinating to learn about Manie Greenewald, to see his amazing shop and to meet Whisky! What a village! The restaurant, the former petrol pump. The 100 year old church! Was it perhaps the inside of a geyser you showed us?? I really enjoyed Manie’s music, I have listened to it since watching this video, he’s truly at the same level as Mick Jagger for sure! Great video again Willie! Cheers!
Hi Bip! Thanks for your wonderful message, it is always such a treat to hear from you and to get your insights. Glad you hear you checked out some of oom Manie's music, even though you might not understand the lyrics :) As for the object and if it could be a geyser, yes perhaps! Hope all is well on your side and thanks again for the support!
Hi Willie, playing catch up with your vlogs. Great one as usual . Love you talking of these places history. No wonder people are settling there from the big towns. Although as you pointed out there’s always danger out there too… I assume other snakes as well as puff adders. The weather is certainly nicer there than here at the moment last weekend Storm Darragh almost blew wales away . Look forward to seeing the next one on your list 😊
Hi Chris, nice to hear from you again! There are other snakes too but the puff adder, I believe, is far more prevalent than the other species. I saw footage of the storm on the TV here in SA, it didn't look pleasant. Cheers for all your support, as always!
Good one again Willie. Seems they removed the thousands of peak caps from the bar/restaurant area that used to hang there. Pity as it was a special attraction.
Loved that shop with all the knick knacks although I hope Whisky gets let out that tiny cage sometimes... The house with the coloured tyres was amazing. Never ceases to amaze me the recycled artwork in these places you visit. Do you drive to these towns or take public transport, Willie?
Hi Sheila, yes Whisky was quite the noisy character! I hope he does too. As for artwork, people do all sorts of things to beautify or spruce up their properties in South Africa. I love the variety :) Public transport is not really a thing in SA unfortunately, so I drive to these places but explore them on foot. Hope all is well in the UK, I see it is getting a bit chilly!
I'm one of those that uses 'tarred' and 'paved' interchangeably (as in paved vs unpaved). That will annoy some of the technical purists I guess. Yes the cow dung still a useful building material in this part of the world!
Deon Honiball and his wife are building their retirement tiny home across from the beautiful church. With your next visit you will be able to view the building! 😊
Video baie goed, Afrikaans en Engels. Sal wat wou gee om daar te gaan bly, sonder enige vrees, ek en my hond. Sou maklik 90jr oud oud geword het ipv in Pretoria waar jy vrees v j lewe
Hi Alfonso, thanks for getting in touch. You can always make suggestions on this post, I'd be very happy to hear from you. My schedule is full for the next two months as I'm travelling to other parts of the country soon.
Hi Willie, just love your videos. So informative. So authentic. Keep up the good work!
Cheers Steven, really appreciate your feedback. Delighted to hear you enjoy my content and I value your support!

Watching it with our morning coffee. This is where my father grew up and my cousin has bought the house and renovated it. You showed it in the beginning of the video with the stream flowing next to it and under the road.
Sounds like the village holds special memories for you! Thanks for watching!
Good on you Willie. As an ex south African living in western Australia, your footage brings back fond memories. Keep it up Mate.
Cheers Danny! Delighted to hear you enjoy my videos. As someone who also lives abroad, I miss home sometimes. This is a great opportunity for me to showcase more of the country so I'm determined to bring you more content! Thanks again

I so enjoy watching your videos!

Thank you Michelle! Appreciate your support for my channel. En dankie vir die uitnodiging, ek sal laat weet as ek in die omtrek is! Groete

Cheers as always, Simon! A wonderful break for the soul these tiny villages in South Africa. All the best!
That is such a cute place, I would love to live there 💕
I think most people would love to have a slice of this part of the world. Cheers for watching!
Beautiful South African 😊
It is a wonderful country!

Cheers for watching and engaging! Beautiful nature around here. Who knows, maybe someone will get in touch ;)
😂❤lol!!! Beautiful
Hilariously well said!
Hey Willie - I wonder if you remember me from our time at the LSE? Love your channel - keep it up!
Hi Stephen! I certainly do, and what a nice surprise to hear from you! Cheers for checking out and supporting my channel, it is much appreciated!
Love the programme. Willie puts it across so well. Very enjoyable to see different parts of our beautiful South Africa.😊
Thanks for the compliment and for watching my videos! Your support is greatly appreciated. Lots of hidden gems in South Africa and B'bos is definitely one of them!
What a quiant, lovely town Willie ! I've never been to Baardskeerdersbos. Love it. Thanks for the valuable historical information.
Thanks Hannelie, this part of the world grips you to the core. You must visit if you ever get the chance. Groete!
Thank you, Willie. I enjoyed the programme!
Thank you Fiona, appreciate your support!
Hi Willie,
The knock-off Crocs that was on my fence in the cul-de-sac was for anyone passing by who wanted/needed a pair of shoes.
God bless you.
Thanks Joe, what a great gesture from you! That says a lot about how the community support each other and welcome others. What a great village you live in!

@ Your videos inspired me to go and buy some South African coffee at a SA shop at Victoria Station London today! I miss South Africa hahahaa !
@@travel_and_explore_with_BIP come visit Bip, we can do a video together!
@@willieexplore Hahaa would have loved to, but I’m going back to Jamaica next!
Baie dankie broer.
Altyd 'n plesier!
Baie Dankie Willie 👍 Kosbare Inligting. Nie geweet van die dorpie nie. Lyk sooo Rustig
Dankie Elzie, waardeer die saamkyk! Groete
B Bos se wit blits is die lekkerste en beste!
Definitief witblits kontrei hierdie! Dankie vir die saamkyk!
Hi Willie interesting little farming village and I hope that you are well. Looking forward to your next vlog
Thanks Mary it was a great experience! I'm good, travelling at the moment and will bring you more vlogs in due course. All the best!
Wow! Hoe verlang ek dan nou na Gans said en B-bos! Well done!
Baie dankie! Baie memories hier. Groete daar vir almal!
Pragtig...ek is 'n gereëlde besoeker Desember vakansies. Jy slaan die spyker op sy kop. Welkom BBos.
Dankie Leon, bly jy het dit geniet! Ek kan sien hoekom jy die area gereeld besoek. Spesiale deel van ons land hierdie. Groete

❤️💪🏻❤️ Marietjies is ‘n legend 🕊
Dit is so Ziska! Dankie vir die saamkyk!
Interesting , Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it, cheers!
Good one again Willie. Seems they removed the thousands of peak caps from the bar/restaurant area that used to hang there. Pity as it was a special attraction.
Thanks as always for engaging Pieter, I didn't know that about the caps!
Doen so voort, Willie.
Dankie vir die aanmoediging, Ben! Waardeer groot!
I met remaining members of the Baardskeerdersbosorkes at Nigramoep. Great crowd
What a privilege and experience that must've been! Thanks for watching and engaging, it means a lot!
Baie mooi area.
Dis verseker so, Pieter! Dankie vir die saamkyk!
Many people coming from the Cape Town area now use the tar road from Gansbaai via Baardskeerdersbos to Elim, Bredasdorp, etc.
Yes indeed. The village is now much better connected and accessible.
Perseel op eie risiko though 💪🇿🇦💪
Praat jy van die akkommodasie? Dit was lekker! Groete
Loved that shop with all the knick knacks although I hope Whisky gets let out that tiny cage sometimes...
The house with the coloured tyres was amazing. Never ceases to amaze me the recycled artwork in these places you visit.
Do you drive to these towns or take public transport, Willie?
Hi Sheila, yes Whisky was quite the noisy character! I hope he does too. As for artwork, people do all sorts of things to beautify or spruce up their properties in South Africa. I love the variety :) Public transport is not really a thing in SA unfortunately, so I drive to these places but explore them on foot. Hope all is well in the UK, I see it is getting a bit chilly!
@willieexplore driving is probably best then! We are set for snow up here next week, Willie☃️.
@@sheilam4525 stay warm Sheila!
The new road is tarred ...although there is a bit of paving too in the village centre, excluding the cow dung!
I'm one of those that uses 'tarred' and 'paved' interchangeably (as in paved vs unpaved). That will annoy some of the technical purists I guess. Yes the cow dung still a useful building material in this part of the world!
@willieexplore If you ever go to Italy you will experiece real paved roads!
@@amandajephson9964 for sure!
Hi Willie we also do a TH-cam Channel, loving your content. Well done
Nice! I'll have a look. Maybe a collab sometime?
Deon Honiball and his wife are building their retirement tiny home across from the beautiful church. With your next visit you will be able to view the building! 😊
That is great to hear! Best of luck with the building works and thanks for watching my video!
Willie ek hoop jy het n witblitsie geproe
As ek nog gedrink het sou ek seker! Groete
Video baie goed, Afrikaans en Engels. Sal wat wou gee om daar te gaan bly, sonder enige vrees, ek en my hond. Sou maklik 90jr oud oud geword het ipv in Pretoria waar jy vrees v j lewe
Tyd staan stil hier, Estelle! Mooi plekke in ons land. Groete!
My ancestor was allowed by the VOC to farm this land in 1772 . Still in posession of the documents
Thanks for watching and engaging, Flip! That is interesting to know. I'm sure your ancestor had some beautiful views from their farm!
Hi Willie, how can we contact you re an invite to record other towns in SA?
Hi Alfonso, thanks for getting in touch. You can always make suggestions on this post, I'd be very happy to hear from you. My schedule is full for the next two months as I'm travelling to other parts of the country soon.
Lekker ou Marietjie’s eet baie lekker daar
Verseker Piet, daai bord kos is groter as jou gewone!
Очень красиво. Но где жители?
Many people in SA spend a lot of time in their houses or properties, not roaming on the streets.
Halo Willie , Sal jy meskien ook my Dorpie Montagu kom doen Asb
Hallo William, dankie vir die saamkyk! Hopelik kom ek nog weer in daai geweste dan maak ons 'n plan. Groete!
how about snakes?
how cold does it get
Lots of snakes but generally they hide from humans
It can get cold but not exceptionally so
I wouldn't live in that cabin if there are pofadders and not proper toilets. Not for me thank you. But thanks for sharing
It is certainly not for everyone, Mary! Cheers as always for supporting my channel :)
A Beautiful part of the land ❤️
You can say that again, Leo! The natural beauty in this part of the country is off the charts.
Is it a mostly white village ?
I don't know the demographic breakdown.
