We thought we’d move up the coast just a bit and snag a site in Harris Bay State Park over the border near Brookings, Oregon. Silly us. It may be a weekday but it’s July and by the time we got there the campground was full. So we pedaled on a bit and got a site at the Oceanside RV Park near the municipal airport in Gold Beach. Perhaps we could have made it to the state park earlier if we’d not been so busy geocaching but then we’d have missed out on all those mini-adventures! We continued on once we got to Brookings and by day’s end we’d logged more than a dozen finds!
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.
