S1 - Ep 404 - Citrusdal - The Town’s Roots Trace Back to 1725! 

Hallo Curtis en Sonja. Ek woon in Citrusdal, so baie dankie vir julle besoek aan Citrusdal. Julle voel al soos twee ou vriende saam met wie ek die land deurgereis het. Julle het my al plekke en dinge gewys wat ek nooit sou gesien of van geweet het nie, so baie dankie. Sien uit na nog baie saamtoer!

Thanks guys for another wonderful trip. Sonia had me laughing when she remarked about the potholes as I was saying the same thing to my wife when you were driving along that potholy street. One must love the Capies with their names. Fancy a ou called "Appel "🍎 in a citrus growing area🍊🍋. We had a farm worker in Hansmoeskraal called Jan Slapslaai. I guessed 1950's or 1960's for that NG Kerk. The same as you two. We were wrong ! Fancy 1941 . A quick congrats on a very lucky Springbok win🏈. One point. Wow. And the All Blacks had to play with only 14 players. Bring on the next World Cup. Look forward to your next trip.🚙

😂🤣😂 didn't expect to learn about the health benefits of lemons today! Great trip , thank you! xx

What an epic trip this one was and so unexpected to start in Hermanus with Citrusdal as your final destination. I enjoyed seeing the town and its interesting surroundings as well as the benefits of both lemons 🍋 and oranges 🍊 displayed on the 2 trucks.I was particularly impressed with the camping and holiday place as the residential area around it. Aren't those valleys and vistas beautiful !Glad you're home safe,though I know you've got the next exciting installment lined up.

Happy to hear you've arrived home safely, waiting eagerly to enjoy next trip 🥰🚗

We have had and is still having scoring days. Never been this hot. Thanks for all your lovely trips. Take care.🙃🙏❤

Hi guys, " wouldn't it be nice to see a leopard?" NO NO NO !!! 😂. I would literally need a toilet, don't know how to say it appropriately 😅😅😅. Awesome vid, thank you soooo much 🚗🚗🚗🍊🍊🍊🍋🍋🍋

Enjoy your guys trips around the country .... but Citrusdal roads potholes look like gauteng 😮😮😢😢!!!

Fabulous video ! So great to see Citrusdal, especially as I found some South African oranges & lemons in our local grocery store last week 🤗 what a treat to taste some sunshine from home again. Just loving your trips around the Western Cape, can’t wait to come home. Love from Vancouver 🇨🇦

In my young years, it was so nice to drive up in orange season. There would also be flowers around. We would buy a bag of oranges from one of the roadside sellers, and the smell in the car!! Mom had to get out a knife and peel oranges for us to eat at once. I can still see her posting pieces into my dads mouth while he was driving. We used to have a Cape Rough Lemon tree and those lemons could be eaten just as is, they were so delicious. The little chapel is beautiful. Roller mill...I thought immediately of oats, which are grown out there. What a pity about Sandveldhuisie. Lovely artworks. The dancer beside the cross with the orange tree...that reminds me of a poem by Uys Krige called Woordvloed. I read it years ago when I studied Afrikaans Nederlands at UCT. So beautiful! Please look it up and read. Thankyou. I really enjoyed exploring Citrusdal with you

Love your videos of our beautiful country. A nice orange from the Citrusdal area would go down well now!

Yep there's no place like home.🙃🤗🤗

What a pretty place. Thanks for sharing with us. I loved the camp ground and chalets❤❤❤❤❤

Home sweet home.....was a lovely trip and I enjoyed it very much 🎉🎉 thanks so much for all your efforts ❤

Hi you two! What a nice trip under the blue skies with rocky hills and the fabulous mountains. The town is so interestingly citrus centered, with even citrus health lessons on the trucks! The views of the citrus plantations and open flower fields stretching to the mountains are really beautiful. The (large?) camping area with the neat chalets also looks very inviting with its great views. I really need to thank you again for continuing with your untiring travels to show the most precious gems of our beloved country. You deserve a good relaxing rest after the Western Cape exploration. Hope to see you soon! Keep safe!

Hi guys more education on rural SA biltong and droeswors for hangover must remember that. Underberg is my go to lol .the views of the mountains and farm land were stunning with abundance of orchards and crate for the fruit loved the old Anglecan church definitely a Scottish influence in the area st Margaret of Scotland shame about the replica thatched building no being used. The DRF church got me I would never have said 1940s again lovely brick work the citrus tree with the people was cute .the beehives were great bees equals fruit. Loved the golf club sign !!! .the campsite was amazing right on the river also the turkeys ready for Christmas the history of modderfontein with the the ,McGregor cemetery shows the Scottish connection the town seemed quiet but I bet its buzzing in the main season great video thanks for taking me along cheerio till the next one. Just to say we'll done Bokke brilliant result 👏 👍.

Nice trip. Lots to see. I enjoyed this one. See you at the pick up for the next trip

I have not been to Citrusdal in a long time, think I should make a turn there again. Glad you are safely home...before the big rains came again...

Ek is mal oor die ou plaas van die McGregors,en hul eie kerkhof...!🌹🌹

Net vir interessantheid, die stop/ry voor die brug soos julle Citrusdal ingekom het is as gevolg van die pad wat weggespoel het weens die rivier wat die nag van 14 Junie 2023 sy walle oorstroom het. Ons was vir 'n heel paar dae heeltemal afgesny van die buitewëreld.

Hi, While visiting Citrusdal, you should have visited the scenic a d historixal Baths ( warmbad) also owned by Mcgregors

My old home was Citrusdal, but you guys left the "By die Dam" Restaurant and Accommodation out. Was my old bosses wife place and just accross from that is the Ostriland Factory Coldmeat. We're I also worked.

Hello. I like you clips. You seem to know your stuff.

Please tell me what do you know about the company "Tagger"?
