We broke camp in Winton Woods and headed for the Indiana border. Once we crossed the border we decided to get off the interstate. Our route took us through Columbus, Indiana, which is known for its excellence in mid-century modern architecture. At the Columbus Area Visitors Center we discovered some wonderful examples of Chihuly glass! At the border we stopped and asked for advice as to the best thing to see in Illinois then headed for our campsite at the Kamp Komfort in Carlock, Illinois. We got the same campsite as we camped at our first night out 35 years ago!
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.
