After five geocache finds this morning we packed up and headed east. Passed through Sweet Home and commented on the name than a few minutes later we heard the song “Singing Sweet Home Alabama All Summer Long” playing on Sirius. Outside of town we couldn’t help ourselves. We stopped to look at a beautiful lake view, find a geocache, and make lunch in the back of the T@B before traveling on.
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.
