Our first night out and it’s going well. We left home in time to stop by the yarn shop in Franklin and easily found a parking spot for truck and T@B. We pulled into a state park on a Friday night without a reservation and scored a pretty campsite at about 3400 feet above sea level! Now we’re just sitting, noshing on a bit of dinner, enjoying our beverages, and listening to the birds chatter around us. This will be a two night stay before we head west.
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.
