Hobhouse Day 1 Cont.

So we made good progress with updating everything this morning but felt the need to get out and about this afternoon
So we drove through Hobhouse back towards Ladybrand as far as a rather nice dam near the township of Dipelaneng. Only it looked rather marshy with some folk fishing, so we skipped.
We drove towards Wepener (S) on the main road (R26) then came back into Hobhouse on de Wet St which is where the Workshop is. The main drag, Muller St, completes the triangle.
Hobhouse is a mixture of nice houses and abandoned, dilapidated, even gutted buildings.
Pictures: The purple house as you enter Hobhouse from Ladybrand, the river where we stopped on the way in on de Wet St, abandoned school sports fields and the Workshop itself; it was a real motor workshop which Cedric and Betty renovated to a coffee shop/dining room. Our little house is attached on the right.Lue lisää
