Ah! At last! The exquisite Hogsback. My very favourite part of the country. If its your first time there, then you have a treat in store. And the people who live there are so nice. What a lovely evening with that crescent moon. Hogsback Inn was one of our favourite haunts. I can still see Roger sitting there smoking his pipe and taking in the surrounding beauty. You couldnt have chosen better for your accommodation. Roger and I sat at that end table for a drink in the bar. Yes, BOGGOM! There are a lot of them around. I have been in Hogsback in midsummer, and also late winter. And every season is stunning. It snows in the later winter.Have you ever had pure chocolate, like pure cacao....with no sweetning. At first you think...Yikes!!! and then as it seeps in, you want more, en dit sit lood in jou potlood!!!! Baboon? On the wire? Are you sure it wasnt a monkey? There are lots of them around. We stayed at Applegarth nursery for three weeks in 1988. It was near The Edge, so we had beautiful views and walks. From Echo shrine one gets a lovely view of the three Hogs, the mountain ridges that gave Hogsback its name. The rocky ridge on top of the mountains looks like he bristle on top of a pigs back. Yes, its not really a different world, its more an open perception of our world. Oh goodness, we need men who are a little adventurous, otherwise life gets boring. OJinne, vanaand skryf ek n boek! Better that I finish to say that Hogsback vegetation and micro climate is very like that of New Zealand, where I live.

Noooo! I don't believe it, you doing Hogsback, yay! Thank you Curtis and Sonia💕

Late husband got work as teacher here as we fell in love with it!! No road, barely electricity, tiny school 4 handfull of kids!! Ive never 4gotten this place!! Totally besotted with it as cold loving flowers every where magnificent fires in gracious old homes !!dont recall church though, but must have been there!!!am 80 years so was just starting as married woman then. Maybe never took position as 2 far from widowed mothers!! but never 4got place I fell in love over ❤

Wow I don't have the words to describe how beautiful Hogsback is, I think Sonia said it best at the end❤. I LOVE the trees and how each tree displays different sizes and beautiful colours

South Africa still has amazing places to live in. Once you leave the large cities you have amazing small towns.

I used to teach at the University of Fort Hare Alice, spent good times every weekend there. That little church is something to see, the snow, the braais, eish you make me nostalgic, spent my best years there

Absolutely magical. Thank for showing us this beautiful place. I’m in love and Hogsback is now number one on my bucket list. A marvelous paradise.

On my bucket list 😉

My son got married in the little chapel before it burnt. Rode on two white Clydesdale horses to the church. Been in NZ for 20 years now but still miss home.

My favorite town. I vist whenever I go to EC in Dec.

WOW what a great feeling it must have been to get up to a beautiful sunny morning stunning freshness in the air away from all the crazy busyness of CITY life really enjoyed the place ❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

I remember the Hogsback Inn very well , beautiful part of the EC.Stayed over there for a week and while at junior school we had a camp there.

What a beautiful place. Heard about Hogsback but never thought it could be this spectacular. Thank u you 2 for showing us this beauty.

Absolutely breathtaking

I loved this episode. What a beautiful town. It reminds me a bit of Clarens in the Free State. That Church is so so beautiful. I can see you will be back soon.. ❤

Yes , one could almost think you are in Europe!!!!🙃🙏👍
