The Tree of Beer, er… Life

If you’ve ever been to Disneyworld, you’ve probably been to the Animal Kingdom resort which has a huge tree in the center of the park. The Tree of Life contains a theater that shows a 3d movie to entertain and delight you and the kids. There in no Disneyworld in South Africa, but they do have a giant tree that contains something else to entertain and delight you… a bar!
In Limpopo, South Africa stands a 72-foot tall Baobab tree that has a naturally occurring hollow center. Heather van Heerden, owner of Sunland Farms where the tree stands, hated to see the space go to waste and built a bar inside it.
Imagine getting your beer on inside a 155-foot diameter tree. Legend says that if a baby drinks a mixture of the Baobab bark and water, it will grow up healthy and strong. If you drink a beer inside the Baobab tree, you’ll think you’re healthy and strong. And drunk, eventually. The tree is estimated to be over 6,000 years old. The boiled eggs served in the bar may be that old as well.
