Nieu Bethesda

No that's not a typo.  That's where we went last weekend!  For my few Grahamstonian friends who read these posts, the best analogy is apparently this:
Grahamstown:Bathurst::Graaff-Reinet:Nieu Bthesda.


Which to most people who have never been to the Eastern Cape means very little.  But think of it this way: it's a place you never heard of. A tiny place.  There's about six different tourism websites because that's apparently the main source of income.  All of them dutifully note that there's no gas petrol or bank facilities there, so you must fill your wallet and tank before coming.

Descriptions are lame.  Let me rather show you a picture of downtown:
There is literally no place in the town where you cannot look in any direction and see not town.
