Chambord - the biggest and most impressive château of the Loire valley. I had a huge case of diarrhea there in 1964. Unforgettable.

Greylingstad - The town was founded in 1909 by the Dutch Reformed Church and named after PJ Greyling, stepson of Piet Retief.
During the Boer War the Scottish Rifles built a number of small forts overlooking the town and the farms beyond the hills. The Scottish Rifles laid out the initials "SR" on the hill overlooking the town, and it was always clearly visible from the main street of Greylingstad.

Fort Beaufort Is a mission station that the Reverend Joseph Williams of the London Missionary Society established in 1816. In 1822, Colonel Maurice Scott of the Royal Warwickshire Regiment constructed a blockhouse about three miles from the mission station as a military frontier post and stronghold against raids by the Xhosa under their chief, Maqoma. The British named it Fort Beaufort to honour the Duke of Beaufort, father of Lord Charles Henry Somerset, first British governor of the Cape Colony.
