As we embarked on our journey to Humansdorp, I couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement mixed with curiosity. We knew that Humansdorp was the gateway to the Kromme River estuary and the starting point of the famous Garden Route. We spent the night in Humansdorp at Protea Cottage which was fantastic. Due to loadshedding in Humansdorp, we opted to have dinner in Jeffreys Bay and we thoroughly enjoyed it. The next morning as we drove through the area where the old caravan park used to be, my heart sank at the sight before me. The oncebeautiful holiday destination was now nothing more than a shell of its former self. It was utterly destroyed, and nothing remained of the oncefunctional municipal holiday destination. We continued on, and at the top of Main Street stood the Cultural Centre, a onceimpressive ecosustainable building that guarded over the town. It was supposed to exhibit traditional Khoisan art, but now all that remained was a ruin, a sad reminder of what once was. Despite this decay, the rest of the town was a sight to behold. Beautiful homes lined the long streets, and trees towered over us, offering shade and comfort as we explored. It was clear that the town took pride in its appearance, and every corner we turned held something new and exciting to discover. Overall, our travels to Humansdorp were a mix of emotions. We saw the destruction of what was once a thriving holiday destination, but we also witnessed the beauty and pride which remain in the town. #DustBugs #adventuretravel #southafrica #southafricavlog #travelongravel #easterncape #mosselbay
