It’s a family owned farm with a little store located in a barn that dates to the Eighteenth Century. We arrived in the middle of pick your own strawberries season, but the feature that really piqued our interest is the vintage Lionel trains layout. On Saturday and Sunday evenings Michael charges a small fee to treat visitors to a delightful interactive train layout. As Lionel fans ourselves we enjoyed discussing the intricacies of the layout as well as watching the four trains running simultaneously and participating in the dumping of coal cars, the unloading of milk cans, timber cars tipping their loads. If you are in the neighborhood of Sharon CT and you love trains get in touch with Ellsworth Farm and make arrangements with Michael to see the trains!
Queen Mary 2’s arrival in the Port of Dakar, Senegal was heralded in the local press and greeted with ceremony. Our own excursion took us on a coach journey through the streets of the capital city to visit a Wolof village and the shore of Lake Retba, the salty lake famed for an intense pink color.
Today’s safari adventure transported us out into the Dorob National Park to have up close encounters with little creatures that are well adapted to the extreme heat and lack of water in the Namib Desert.
With a UNESCO World Heritage Site, two national parks, dozens of museums, and hundreds of tours offered in the Cape Town area there is more than plenty to do. For our two day visit we opted to concentrate on African wildlife visiting the Aquila Private Game Reserve and the Boulders Beach Penguin Colony for a wonderful chance to these fabulous animals in their own habitat.
