We spent the early morning in Arches National Park. At the suggestion of a ranger, we hiked out to Landscape Arch and explored a little beyond but not so far as the Double O Arch. On the way into town at midday we saw a cattle drive, complete with cowboy on horseback. Then we went back into the park for sunset. Finished the day with dinner and local brew at the Moab Brewery.
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.
What a fantastic journey. Your pics are unbelievable. What kind of camera do you have. Thank you for the wonderful continual blogs.
Love,
Jim & Sharon
WOW! Incredible! I am so loving this opportunity to live vicariously through you. Blessings & Love!
I’m glad to see that the arch in your large picture has survived – it looked pretty worn on the right side when I was there 7-8 years ago !!
COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
