AUSTRALIA: The Bruce Labadie, who lives in Santa Cruz, is just back from his son and family, from left, Fox, Brian, Rae, Anika and Bruce itself – on a journey on board Ginger train In the Ginger factory in Yandina, Queensland. “We traveled over the length of the east coast of Australia in a motorhome and stopped on waterfalls, streams and sea beaches,” says Bruce. “One of the most effective memories was the downtown Brisbane River Walk with restaurants and two free outdoor pools.
“Crocodiles grow up here and we continued, as a number of the large rivers wait, all the time at a great protected distance. They are much larger than alligators and grow to as much as 20 feet. “
Travel tips: “The ginger factory was a great adventure (with) trips for younger fans and a few nice gardens,” says Bruce. The family “dared to provide a factory through which they produce dried ginger and gingerbread artists and ginger drinks.”
ZIMBABWE: An African Safari through adventure trips in overseas brought a group of friends of the Bergliche – Marleen Sloper, Reese Fassett (from Florida), Nanci Scharfen and Kirk Lok – to Victoria Falls Private Game Reserve in Zimbabwe last autumn. “This private reserve helps to fret, rehabilitate and miss elephants,” says Nanci. “They are orphans that may have died without the assistance of this organization, which increase the elephants and take care of them when growing up.”
Travel tips: “We strongly recommend seeing this reserve. This reserve has three fence rows, so that the animals can go to the national park at any time and return, although most of them stay or return to the wild herds of elephant after a short process. We watched some of the wild elephants that came into the water hole while we were there. “
