We arrived at this most amazing location in the panhandle of Texas and got a campsite. As we were eating dinner, we were visited by a wild turkey! After dinner we did a driving tour which inspired us to take way too many pictures. If you’ve been there before as we were in 1984, and enjoyed the water crossings, know that they are building bridges to replace them. Then we took the opportunity to see the musical theater production Texas in a most amazing outdoor amphitheater. This morning as we were leaving the park we still had to stop several times to take more photos!
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.
