The Post
The h2g2 Post is all about surprises: you'll wonder where all these stories come from. Our contributors research locally, and share globally. This week, take a trip to the Blouberg in South Africa. Admire the wildlife in a Pennsylvania backyard. Follow our reviewer into the cinema. Walk a French street, and look down. Venture into previously uncharted territory, and take a tour - or look back into the past, and read a letter from 1865. We'll take you there, from the comfort of your own internet.
