Quick, get out a map. Can you find the easternmost point in North America? Go ahead, stop reading and find it.
Back?
Were you able to locate it?
On my trip to St. John’s, Newfoundland in Canada I was told that Cape Spear is the easternmost point on the continent of North America. It was about a 20 minute drive from my hotel and I didn’t have a rental car! It would have been a shame to come this far and not make a trip out there. Fortunately, my host graciously offered to drive us to the cape. Watch this YouTube video to see what I found…
“What’s the one place I should see?” is the question I always ask when arriving in a new destination. In many of the trips I take I only have time to see or do one activity. So I want to be sure I see the main attraction. This question is often asked to the person at the rental car counter that assists me, the taxi driver that drives me, the server that waits on me and/ or the front desk person who checks me in to the hotel. I like to ask this question to several people because A) I get a variety of opinions and B) the destination that comes up most often is probably the place to visit.
Let’s have some adventures, shall we? Today’s post comes to you from the wonderful country of South Africa.
We were driving from Phalaborwa (Pal-a-bore-a) to Polokwane (Pole-a-kwan-e) when our host suggested we stop and see the Giant Baobab Tree. It was a quick diversion on our trip through the City of Tzaneen (Za-neen). See for yourself in the YouTube video.
More adventures of Olympic proportions to come this week from my trip to Utah.
