We’ve both visited the Great Salt Lake. Steve remembers swimming here when his family toured The West in their brand new ’56 Chevy sedan and Karen trekked through the snow to gaze at this salty lake when her family came here to visit family at Christmas ’65 in their red ’62 Chevy station wagon named Clyde. Together this is our third trip to SLC but our first joint visit to this geologic artifact of Lake Bonneville. A geocache search brought us to this spot, the Saltair pavilion, the third iteration of a great entertainment and bathing facility on the shore of the lake.
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.
