Around the globe THE SUNLAND BAOBAB

This Magnificent tree found amidst the Sun land farm in South Africa had seen a millennium (approx. 1060 years old) on this earth. The panoramic view gives a misconception of two trees stuck together but it’s a single trunk that consists of two sections. The trunk has developed its own hollow space with the aging of the tree giving way to an eco-friendly bar and wine stellar to be set up inside the trunk. The Baobab measures 22m high and the trunk diameter around 10.64m. The natural vents of the tree help maintain the internal temperature to 22°C. The Vent on the trunk fitted with square door opens to the stairs that take us one metre below the ground level where the special bar is setup. The railway sleeper pub and a perfect music system are the add on that takes us closer to nature as we sip the beer sitting inside the hollow trunk.

ETRETAT FRANCE

The Etretat is a commune in France famous for its white sea cliffs and three natural rock arches that seeps in to the Atlantic Ocean. One of the arches resembles the trunk of an elephant (aka cliff needle) that rises 70 metre above sea level and the other takes the shape of a dragon head. The third arch is not visible from the town. Also, the cliffs are wrapped by small farming towns of Normandy region. The wind is wild at the top and small caves found at the bottom helps the waves catch some shade. Normal beach sand is replaced by a bed of porous rocks and pebbles on the shore.
