Day 4 of Road trip: The road to Hondeklipbaai

20220628-141204.jpg

Hondeklipbaai (Dog stone bay), I sometimes wonder who comes up with the names of places and why the specific name. To me it is a strange name, but we were on our way to the place named Hondeklipbaai!!

It was a gravel road, with some bad corrugations, and at one place the road was washed away. This is a very dry area as you can see from the landscape, but they had an unusual amount of rain and the road washed away!!

We finally arrived at our destination and our accommodation was named Die Hondehokke (The Dog Kennels), and our home for the night was Kennel 6!!

At least it was quite comfortable and cosy, inside the Kennels!!

After relaxing a bit after our 145 km drive, we went to explore Hondeklipbaai!! (145km sounds short, but on these bad roads, it took almost 3 hours)

We found some large ruins on our walk, and found out that it was the remains of a Crayfish factory, which closed some years ago. The community then looted the place, and this is all that remains.

History of Hondeklipbaai

The village has a beautiful white beach to the one side.

On the other side there is a rather rocky beach!!

There is also a ship wreck, as you can see the ship broke in two. There is a lot of bamboo in these waters, which by the way is quite cold!!

In the distance, you can see the small village of Hondeklipbaai. There really is nothing in this little village, you cannot even buy petrol for the car, and there are no shops, except for small tuck shops run from some homes!! All roads leading to Hondeklipbaai is gravel roads and is is quite far from any other towns.

We loved our short stay in Hondeklipbaai, and would soon be on our way to our next stop, Doringbaai (Thorn Bay)

I hope you enjoyed the post and that you have a wonderful day.
