We have two rules. 1. Drive back roads. 2. Stop when something looks interesting. As we left Hot Springs NC we set the GPS for Hot Springs VA. The route took us through Greeneville TN where we found something that looked interesting. So we stopped at Andrew Johnson National Historic Site to explore the home of the 17th President of the United States. We spent enough time there that we needed to find a nearby campground. We booked three nights at Davy Crockett Birthplace State Park.
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.
