After catching on laundry, we left Petaluma this morning and headed up US-101 and marveled at the vineyards and the green and gold hills. We also wondered if this six lane divided highway was the road that we remembered wending it’s way through the giant redwoods. As we approached Willits we started noticing some early vintage cars traveling in our direction. One was fueling up at the Shell station where we refueled, made a quick lunch, and chatted with a family fascinated with our T@B. Further up we saw more of them headed south. We suspect a classic car event in Willits this week!
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.
