We’re camping at a KOA on Monterey Bay between Monterey and Santa Cruz. Much cooler here. We changed into jeans and donned light jackets for the easy walk to Phil’s Fish Market and Eatery for a lovely seafood dinner complemented with wonderful vegetables from the Salinas Valley. Back in camp, after a walk on the beach, we introduced ourselves to some fellow teardrop campers and discovered that not only did we have similar interests but we knew some people in common! We may have to make a trip to Spring Branch to see the ’56 Chevy they’ve restored.
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.
