Thanks to Jana we’ve finally, on our third visit to the Black Hills, visited downtown Rapid City, City of Presidents! It was a delightful evening. She met us at the KOA where we got to show her our T@B then on to a delicious meal at Tally’s Silver Spoon, a trip to the Prairie Edge Trading Co. to see some incredible beads and Prairie Edge Hunt, an amazing paper sculpture, a chance to pose next to multiple presidential bronze statues, yummy ice cream from Silver Lining Creamery, excellent conversation, and a successful geocache find! As we were ending the visit dark was descending on the city and from our campsite we could look down on the lights of the city and the fireworks of the Mount Rushmore patriotic light show!
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.
