We’re staying at a campground near Barstow CA. Route 66 was once the major highway through this town bringing visitors from all over. These tourists ate at diners and restaurants all along the route. Tonight we dined on food that tasted like 1950’s memories at Peggy Sue’s. This in fact is a diner that was built in 1954 and has been lovingly restored to bring back the flavor of that era.
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.
