Today we visited the Crazy Horse Memorial in the Black Hills of South Dakota. We took advantage of the opportunity for a personalized van tour to the bottom of the face of gigantic sculpture. We were able to walk out to where his finger eventually will be carved. It was an incredible experience in an incredible place. The vision of the artist and his family is truly inspirational. After we left there we went into Custer to get a few provisions including dark chocolate since our Schakolad supply has run out!
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.
