We drove south on US-101 trying to make time. We did stop at one California state park to drive through a giant redwood, but then scooted over to CA-1 at Olema and visited the campground where we stayed on our Honeymoon. Crossed the Golden Gate bridge into San Francisco then got confused trying to follow the directions on the GPS. We managed to find our way into the Redwood City area. We calmed our nerves at Kepler’s Books then met up with Mary Lou and followed her to her new digs where we met her housemate, Francesca, and settled in for a pleasant evening.
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.
