Drove across Arkansas knowing that we were giving short shrift to a beautiful state. We will definitely come back and explore Arkansas more in depth. Headed for Memphis. Crossed the Mississippi River, so we are now back in the East. Found lodging in downtown Memphis and took the Main Street trolley to Beale Street. Enjoyed the live music, barbequed ribs, and Black Magic beer at B.B.King’s Blues Club. We saw few people out walking around on Beale Street since the temperature was near freezing. The atmosphere inside the clubs was much warmer than outside. Bought a little bit of Blues City BBQ sauce so the taste of Memphis can linger a little longer in our lives.
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.
