After brunch with Gary today, we hitched Eric the Red up to our Gypsy Wagon and headed into the East. We phoned ahead to make reservations at Wickham Park and discovered they had no vacancy. Time for a change of plans. Checked the Woodalls app and a few other resources and found a little RV park in Cape Canaveral. So we’re here at Carver’s Cove RV Park on the Indian River for a few nights. We walked out to the fishing pier at sunset and enjoyed the dance of lights across the water then walked a while along A1A before settling down in our chairs under our awning with a couple of cups of decaf and our ebooks. The weather ‘s perfect and the evening is quiet.
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.
