We realized this morning that Gigi, our little gypsy wagon needed new shoes. Generally tires that size need to be ordered. We were wondering where we’d find a place that could get them in tomorrow and we could camp nearby. We were in luck! We stopped at Beard Tire Center in beautiful downtown Hurricane, Utah at 11AM and left with new tires installed at 11:35AM. Not only did they have tires in stock but we had a choice of nylon ply or radials. These guys were professional, courteous, and quick. We recommend them. Now for a quick lunch at JB’s across the street and the making of a plan for todays’s further adventures!
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.
