We spent some time today exploring the US-64 corridor here in the Piedmont between Asheboro and Chapel Hill. Did a little bit of shopping for things to enhance our rambling lifestyle including a little more camp furniture and extra lighting for the 10×10 canopy we’ve put up over the kitchen area. And we snagged just one geocache. Back in camp we enjoyed a repast of salad, brats, and mashed potatoes. Now we’re just sitting and reading and enjoying the moderate temperature on this September evening here in the North Carolina Piedmont.
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.
