The sliver lining in Kimberley
Pros:

This is an oasis in a desert of squalor that Kimberley has become. It is also the perfect base to explore the Big Hole.

Cons:

I just wish it was a little more affordable. Kimberley itself is in disrepair and it was a grudge purchase to spend more than in parts of the country that are not going backwards.
