We hooked up Gigi (Gypsy Girl) to Eric the Red and departed today from Tween Creeks for another ramble. Our destination today wad the Chapel Hill area and we’d picked out a promising campground. We called to make sure they’d have room for us only to discover they have no showerhouse! Two more places were called also didn’t have one! We ended up near Franklinville, NC, a little further west than we’d planned at an older campground that has brand new owners where we’ve set up for a three night stay.
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.
