Thank you for asking, excellent! We had a large room, a nice bathroom, coffee and tea and, of course, plenty of books.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Why is it called \"Royal Hotel\"? Well, there's no royal history here, the hotel has just always been called that, and Anthony hasn't wanted to change it. However, there is a kingdom right next door, the Kingdom of Lesotho, so maybe they could invite some royalty here on occasion?<\/p><div class=\"freed-stor-banner-plats-14 freed-entity-placement\" id=\"freed-2375387858\"><div id=\"freed-slider-88782\" class=\"custom-slider freed-slider-1738046902 freed-slider\"><ul><li><div id=\"freed-1235009875\" class=\"method-missing not-front type-post not-theme-page\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/husbilslandet.com\/i-lager?amount=-1&#038;vehicle_type=camper&#038;price=219000%2C8874149&#038;y=2005%2C2027&#038;weight=1000%2C18000&#038;rea=true\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Demo sale 588x588px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Demoutforsaljning-588x588px.jpg\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Demoutforsaljning-588x588px.jpg 588w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Demoutforsaljning-588x588px-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Demoutforsaljning-588x588px-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Demoutforsaljning-588x588px-224x224.jpg 224w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Demoutforsaljning-588x588px-12x12.jpg 12w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Demoutforsaljning-588x588px-325x325.jpg 325w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Demoutforsaljning-588x588px-520x520.jpg 520w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Demoutforsaljning-588x588px-320x320.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Demoutforsaljning-588x588px-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Demoutforsaljning-588x588px-120x120.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 588px) 100vw, 588px\" width=\"588\" height=\"588\"   \/><\/a><\/div><\/li><li><div id=\"freed-1226734954\" class=\"method-missing not-front type-post not-theme-page\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/se.adria-mobil.com\/husvagnar\/alpina\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"adria-freedom-XL-588x588px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/adria-freedom-XL-588x588px.jpg\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/adria-freedom-XL-588x588px.jpg 588w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/adria-freedom-XL-588x588px-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/adria-freedom-XL-588x588px-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/adria-freedom-XL-588x588px-224x224.jpg 224w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/adria-freedom-XL-588x588px-12x12.jpg 12w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/adria-freedom-XL-588x588px-325x325.jpg 325w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/adria-freedom-XL-588x588px-520x520.jpg 520w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/adria-freedom-XL-588x588px-320x320.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/adria-freedom-XL-588x588px-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/adria-freedom-XL-588x588px-120x120.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 588px) 100vw, 588px\" width=\"588\" height=\"588\"   \/><\/a><\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div><script>( window.advanced_ads_ready || jQuery( document ).ready ).call( null, function() {var $freedslider1738046902 = jQuery( \".freed-slider-1738046902\" );$freedslider1738046902.on( \"unslider.ready\", function() { jQuery( \"div.custom-slider ul li\" ).css( \"display\", \"block\" );

It was gold and diamond deposits that attracted the British to South Africa, but the Boers did not like these 'uitlanders' (foreigners) and would not grant them citizenship. Fighting became bloody and many people lost their lives. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"577\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/batch_IMG_E9797-1024x577.png\" alt=\"Anthony Hockings guidar om Boerkriget\" class=\"wp-image-227903\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/batch_IMG_E9797-1024x577.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/batch_IMG_E9797-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/batch_IMG_E9797-768x433.png 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/batch_IMG_E9797-224x126.png 224w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/batch_IMG_E9797-18x10.png 18w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/batch_IMG_E9797-433x244.png 433w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/batch_IMG_E9797-600x338.png 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/batch_IMG_E9797.png 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But it wasn't just guns that killed. The women and children of Boer families were rounded up by the British into large concentration camps. Here more than 27 000 Boers, and almost as many black Africans, faced death, often from starvation and diseases such as typhoid fever and dysentery. One of the largest concentration camps was located right here, in a field next to Bethulie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"
