Left Marietta and Ohio late morning after a delicious breakfast at the bakery downtown.
Drove through snow flurries, mixed rain and
snow, and some accumulated snow through West Virginia, Virginia, and Tennessee. At the North Carolina Welcome Center there was snow accumulation of three or four inches. Arrived in Sylva just after dark. At dinner at a local bar and grill and came out to find snow collected on our car.
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.
