This is part of the roadtrip series.
So driving at night is preferred even though many people say otherwise. If you are awake, drive. The road to Colesberg well that was not where we intended to go, actually we just drove, without plans, without direction hoping to find something interesting and wonderful.
As I was saying, we drove from Helderberg to the place where the plot is. Now on the pictures the lady did not tell us that its located just across the road from a squater camp. We had the idea that the plot was located in the middle of the Karoo, we had the idea it was a small town with a bunch of artists. And so we were wrong.
When we got to the town it was empty, it looked like a ghost town. No houses were standing up straight. It really looked desolated. The only life in the forgotten village was the smoke coming from the far reaches of the massive location.
And that was the end of our hopes to buy a plot there.
By that time it was around 9am. I have been driving 10 hours straight. Non stop, no sleep, no food, no comfort and I was starting to feel it. It was then we took the journey to Colesberg 250km from Bloemfontein. We got to a hotel there. I cant remember the name of the hotel but its really close to the petrol station on the left side of the n2.
Inside of the hotel in Colesberg.
Before booking into the hotel we went for a drive on a backroad in Colesberg. There are many gravel roads leading to mysterious places in South Africa. You really should take one of those roads some time. You will find amazing places and views. Especially if you are into photography. The best places to see in South Africa is off the road.
The Northern Karoo or Groot Karoo as some know it.
