One of the delights of traveling without an itinerary or planned route, is the ability to act on tips we get from fellow travelers. Last night we had a delightful conversation with Jani. She gave us some tips on visiting Mobile but she also mentioned a nearby creamery with a large cow statue out front. So we included Mountain Fresh Creamery in Clermont, Georgia on our backroads route for the day and enjoyed ice cream within sight of the donor cows.
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.
