We’ve been here! Forty-one years ago on our honeymoon, the two of us camped at the KOA in Amarillo. Even before that Karen’s family camped here in December 1965. They were traveling home to St Petersburg FL from a Christmas visit with family in Salt Lake City UT in a 1962 red Chevrolet station wagon named Clyde hauling a canvas topped camping trailer painted the same bright red. But tonight we’ll be sleeping in El Dorado south of Santa Fe. Tomorrow we’ll embark on the next leg of our rambling adventure.
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.
