Last night at a rest area in Mississippi we logged our 338th geocache and our 30th state. Today we paused here in Alabama to find our 339th cache in our 31st state. That means we still have seventeen more states in the contiguous forty-eight yet to log. Guess we need to do some more traveling. But in the meantime we’re headed through Georgia to home in North Carolina. No more new states until we travel through Kentucky come April.
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.
