July rolled around and we’re still in Pinellas. Saturday Night Swing in Largo celebrated July birthdays and Arleene was in the middle of the circle dance. Karen would have been also but for the fact that she danced last month thinking we would be off on our trip by now. But it won’t be much longer. We decided today that the upcoming week will be our last week here in Pinellas for now. Gary is getting stronger day by day. He’s moving back home on Tuesday and seems to be ready to start driving. There’s a few more things we can do to ease his transition home then we need to be on our way. So we bid farewell til next time to our Saturday night dancing friends. It’s been fun being here these last several weeks but now it is time to move on.
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.
