This is a very large park. The entrance to the park is on Hwy. 107. You pay to get into the park. The park is all trees, large beautiful pines are everywhere. We have parties down by the shelter a couple of times a year. …
South Africa Cape of Good Hope
It was normal that before going to Cape Agulhas, we would pass by at the Cape of Good Hope. My husband was also adamant in having his picture taken from this area. Definitely, it was also nearer than going to Cape Agulhas as it was not actually the most …
Engen Garage Filling Station and Convenience Store
Taking the off ramp from the uncharacteristically quiet freeway on the way to the casino, for a night out of some light gambling, I had an experience that made me appreciate the mere essence of the courtesy of some people.

Wisconsin Dells
Wisconsin Dells is one of the most fun centered tourist destination in the Midwest, because almost everything that is there is meant to cater to tourists and out of towners. In fact, this space I think still has the title as the water park capital of the world, …

Sands Holiday Centre
If you fancy a get-away-from-it-all break, you may be surprised at the location I am going to suggest. In early summer, most people would head off to the sunnier spots in Europe and find something cheap in Spain or France, perhaps. They would expect decent weather, of course, which …
