After a trip to Publix to restock CJ’s pantry for the semester and to get a few provisions for our trip, the three of us – Steve, Karen, and Boo – left Tampa. Our first stop was a visit with Karen’s parents in Zephyrills. They will celebrate their 59th Anniversary on Sunday as we celebrate our 35th. We then headed north on I-75. We got off the interstate near Cordele and hoped to camp near Andersonville but ultimately spent the night at a Best Western in Warm Springs, Georgia.
Queen Mary 2’s arrival in the Port of Dakar, Senegal was heralded in the local press and greeted with ceremony. Our own excursion took us on a coach journey through the streets of the capital city to visit a Wolof village and the shore of Lake Retba, the salty lake famed for an intense pink color.
Today’s safari adventure transported us out into the Dorob National Park to have up close encounters with little creatures that are well adapted to the extreme heat and lack of water in the Namib Desert.
With a UNESCO World Heritage Site, two national parks, dozens of museums, and hundreds of tours offered in the Cape Town area there is more than plenty to do. For our two day visit we opted to concentrate on African wildlife visiting the Aquila Private Game Reserve and the Boulders Beach Penguin Colony for a wonderful chance to these fabulous animals in their own habitat.
