Today’s our Fortieth Anniversary! And we are enjoying a fabulous celebration. We woke up in Adirondack Park in a room with a view of beautiful Lake Piseco. First order of business was to travel into Speculator for our annual Steak & Eggs breakfast at the Sunrise Diner. Then north toward Blue Mountain Lake with a stop at the Lewey Lake Campground. We’re inspired to plan another trip with kayaks. On to the Adirondack Museum. It’s billed as Adirondack BIG. And it is too big for just one visit. We must return. On the way back to Point Comfort we got ice cream in Lake Pleasant. Back at the campground we lingered through sunset until after dark enjoying the play of light on the water. To commemorate this day we treated ourselves to a painting that looks like this lakeshore!
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.
