We are back to going round and round. Not the mulberry bush this time, although there could be a mulberry tree here that we are not recognizing as such. Rather we are walking round and round the Jackson County Recreation Center loop. Once around is six tenths of a mile. Having been away from it for a while we are working back up again. Today we did three loops for 1.8 miles. Not too impressive but better than nothing. It’s a beautiful time of year to be out here with the morning mountain mists and the temperatures somewhere around perfect.
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.
