Alice – Fort Hare University and the Old British Fort! Ep 335

We embarked on a nostalgic journey to Alice, the town where I was born. Our spirits were dampened upon arrival as we discovered the devastating fate that had befallen the once magnificent Amatola Hotel, a place my parents often reminisced about. It, and the Royal Hotel, were both places where they would go dancing back in the day. A somber drive past the abandoned station further revealed the town's decline. However, our spirits were uplifted when we found the well-preserved Victoria Hospital, where my own birth took place, standing as a testament to the town's enduring past. The unexpected delight came with our visit to Fort Hare University, where the remnants of the old British fort were impeccably maintained. Driving through the sprawling campus grounds filled us with awe, realising that this institution nurtures the aspirations of a staggering 12,000 students. #DustBugs #adventuretravel #southafrica #southafricavlog #travelongravel #easterncape #alice Instagram   / dustbugstravel   Facebook   / dustbugstravel
