We found it! We’re staying the two weekend nights at the KOA in Eureka CA. Started Saturday with brunch at The Hangar Cafe, a little hole in the wall at the municipal airport. Great corned beef hash! Then found a little barbershop and Steve got a haircut. Anyone remember Ray Stevens song about never let a stranger cut your hair? We succeeded in finding a geocache in town then tried but failed to get new sneakers for the two of us. Time to give up on in town stuff and head to the beaches.
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.
