São Tomé and Príncipe is an island country in west-central Africa, consisting of the islands of São Tomé and Príncipe and the surrounding islets, with the capital, São Tomé, located in the northeastern part of São Tomé. Located on the Gulf of Guinea, about 200 kilometers from the African continent, the country was colonized by Portugal in the 15th century and became independent in 1975, with Portuguese as the official language and an economy based on agriculture (cocoa, palm oil) and tourism. It should be noted that "Java" is not a city or region of the country; Java is the main island of Indonesia, with cities such as Jakarta and Surabaya, and has nothing to do with São Tomé and Príncipe, possibly due to a confusion of names.
Located in the Muskoka region of central Ontario, Canada, Clayhurst is situated on a peninsula between Kasher Lake and Vernon Lake, and is part of the prestigious municipality of Muskoka Lakes. This small settlement is known for its dense forests, clear lakes and granite landscapes that are representative of the typical Canadian Shield.
As part of the Muskoka Lakes Resort Belt, Clayhurst is surrounded by a number of provincial parks and waterways that offer boating, fishing and hiking in the summer and snowmobiling and ice fishing in the winter. With mostly seasonal homes and vacation homes, the community retains a strong natural wilderness atmosphere.
Clayhurst is connected to the outside world via Highway 11 and is about 15 minutes from the town of Gravenhurst. There is no local commercial center and residents rely on the surrounding towns for their amenities. The area is favored for its low-density homes and privacy by those seeking a quiet lakefront lifestyle, reflecting the resort community model unique to the Muskoka area.
