After getting ourselves unpacked and repacked, we joined Bill for coffee at Las Chivas then re-provisioned at the market at The Agora. We bid Bill goodbye then headed north on US-285. We first planned to camp at Navajo Lake State Park, but wanted to log a few more miles today. Then we headed west on US-64. We passed a couple of uninspiring RV parks in Farmington then started seriously looking around Shiprock. We crossed the border into Arizona and didn’t think we had the energy to go south to the campgrounds near Canyon de Chelly. Well, we ultimately drove into Page AZ and stopped at a delightful private campground. We did laundry and relaxed after our ridiculously long drive.
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.
