Our route south on I-81 took us through a corner of West Virginia. We often travel a longer stretch of the West Virginia Turnpike on our way to and from northeastern Ohio. We usually lose cell service on the turnpike but with the very mountainous terrain it is understandable. Today we noticed that we list cell signal just before we crossed from MD to WV and didn’t regain it until we were within a mile of the VA border. We’d wanted a geocaching break but didn’t have the technological support. Drat!
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.
