This morning’s adventure was just spending time poking around northern Delaware. We started with snagging a few geocaches near the campsite in Lums State Park. Then we realized there wad a long line of caches along the edge of the Chesapeake & Delaware Canal. We parked near downtown St Georges and hiked the bike path snagging another ten caches and enjoying the walk on a beautiful morning. We strolled under some big bridges, spotted some folks enjoying a sail on the tall ship, the Mystic Whaler, and stopped frequently to locate a cache and sign the log. By the time we were finished we were hungry and thirsty so we stopped by the St Georges Country Store and Cajun Food Restaurant and sated ourselves with a salad, a shrimp po-boy and iced tea. Now to wend our way into New Jersey…
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.
