Two geocaches and a third trip to The Chimney Tree Grill… Over the last couple of years we have tagged along on some of Lou’s geocache adventures in New Orleans, Boston, and Bedford. We finally signed up and she assisted us on our first find in Half Moon Bay. Today we decided to try it on our own. We found one at The Watering Hole! It was a fun find because we stopped and saw a vintage drinking fountain and a stream running under a redwood tree. We’d been on our way to The Chimney Tree Grill for meatloaf sandwiches where we chatted with owner Kris who was tickled that we’d come three nights in a row. On our way back to camp we successfully searched for Green Goose. You never know where a geocache might be hidden!
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.
