It looks as though North Dakota’s cottonwood trees think it’s autumn. We spent the day enjoying Theodore Roosevelt National Park, both south and north units. The human history, the geology, and the wildlife are all rather remarkable. Late in the afternoon we headed into the setting sun and found lodging in Wolf Point, Montana.
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.
Jealousy doesn’t begin to describe how I feel sitting here at my desk, working late, but stopping to take a look at all the beautiful photos of your journey thus far. Hmm…..wishful mindless meanderings fill my head.
Keep up the fun and adventure.
Thanks for sharing with us.
