Day 5.2: Fort and city

Southern Roads, Thu, 12 Nov 15
Simon at a Castle, City, Temple in North America, USA

The second place I stopped in was Fort King George in Darien. The lady working in the plantation museum told that I have to go there after she heard I live in Scotland, since the place was one of the …

Day 5.1: Plantation
