Kimberley is found in the Northern Cape of South Africa and is mostly known for its diamonds. I loved visiting the Big Hole while in Kimberley, it is quite an incredible site!

Fun fact: The Big Hole is the largest hole excavated by hand and where literally tons of diamonds were excavated.

Trust me, the hole looks much bigger in person than in the photos, its quite a magnificent site!

You can also have a walk around the little town by the big hole and see where and how the workers from the diamond mines lived back in the day.

This may be an influence of Sheldon Cooper and watching too much "Big Bang Theory" recently, but aren't trains pretty cool?
