  • Palm Beach Zoo – Booking An “Animal Experience” Will Make Your Day

    Posted on January 11, 2019February 28, 2019

    I am not a fan of zoos particularly, as you probably know if you have been following me for a while. I much prefer to observe animals in their natural habitat. However, occasionally I come across a nice facility that I really enjoy, and Palm Beach Zoo is one of those. If you have kids, it’s […]

    Posted on May 27, 2018

  • Coral Castle and Redland – ‘I’ll do anything for my sweet sixteen’!

    Posted on November 19, 2014

    Coral Castle Last month I finally I got to see Coral Castle.  Well, it is quite the trip from Fort Lauderdale for someone who hasn’t got a car, and it isn’t strictly speaking all that old (1920’s and 1930’s), which to the Archaeologist in me does put it on the back burner somewhat.
