Tuesday dawned bright and clear! We set out in search of more Yellowstone adventures. The Fountain Paint Pots was spectacular. We watched Old Faithful erupt twice. The second time we learned firsthand that you should not sit downwind from it unless you want to be showered with sulphur water. We stopped by the Old Faithful Inn and marveled at its architecture and decor. We drove out of the park at the East Entrance and found lodging at Pahaska Teepee, the site of Buffalo Bill Cody’s Original Hunting Lodge.
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.
