We’re camped in Lake Bistineau State Park south of Shreveport, Louisiana. After we arrived we realized we’d camped here before – in August 1984! We were on our way home from a family gathering in Santa Fe. We set up camp after dark and when we awoke the next morning we were enchanted with the view of the bayou out of our camper window. Today we arrived in the mid-afternoon and enjoyed an evening of leisure in camp.
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.
