FANTASTIC TRIPS TO FARAWAY LANDS
(Page 2 of 4)
When we leave Erraid, we'll travel down the length of Great
Britain to Glastonbury, sightseeing along the way. Then,
while staying in Glastonbury (the legendary burial place of
King Arthur) we'll visit Stonehenge, Avebury, and Cadbury
Castle ... and attend a Midsummer Eve celebration. Finally,
we'll overnight in London before flying home.

AUSTRALIA'S INTERNATIONAL SOLAR
CONGRESS
We're pleased to be able to offer a ten-day trip to the
International Solar Energy Society Congress in Perth,
Australia (August 9 to 19, 1983) for as little as $1,395,
including airfare from San Francisco and university
housing, but excluding the convention registration
fee (it will run $150 for ISES members, $170 for
nonmembers, $50 for student members, $60 for student
nonmembers, and $50 for accompanying guests).
This major energy forum will offer a wide range of
technical sessions, seminars, workshops, opportunities for
both formal and informal discussion with leaders in the
field, and one of the most exciting exhibits ever held in
the Southern Hemisphere. In addition, the tour offers
optional stopovers in Auckland, Honolulu, and Tahiti ...
and even a circle tour of the East, which includes visits
to alternative-energy sites in Thailand, Hong Kong, and
Japan. (Write to find out about the costs of these various
tour options.) A $200 deposit is required with your
registration.
AFRICA'S MIGHTY MOUNTAIN GORILLAS
When we decided to go on an African camping safari (January
6 to 24, 1984) to search for the rare mountain gorillas of
Rwanda and to view Tanzania's other spectacular wildlife,
we knew immediately that we could find no better tour
leaders than our Ecoscience columnists and renowned
biologists, Anne and Paul Ehrlich, and their associates
John and Cheryl Holdren.
There is no more striking natural wonder in East Africa
than its wildlife, and this three-week journey will let us
see the best that the area has to offer: the Lake Manyara
region, where the elephants — many of which
sport incredibly long tusks — are some of
the oldest on the continent, and where lions spend the hot
afternoons sprawled on the limbs of acacia trees ... the
Ngorongoro Crater, whose grassy floor contains Africa's
largest permanent concentration of animals ... the
unmatched Serengeti Plains, where giraffes, ostriches, and
zebras abound ... Lake Victoria, one of the world's most
alluring inland seas ... and Rwanda's Virunga volcanoes,
where we'll observe some of the earth's rarest and most
interesting creatures, the mountain gorillas, mighty
masters of Africa's rain forests. And, of course, this
wealth of natural beauty will be enhanced by the wide range
of knowledge that our tour leaders will bring to the
unforgettable outdoor excursion.
