We’re traveling a familiar route this morning but for a different reason. Usually on this section of highway we’re getting close to home often at the end of a long day of travel. Today our total driving time will be just over an hour. We’re heading to a KOA west of Asheville to rendezvous with friends for a three day weekend! And we’re fresh enough to want to search for the cache: The Less-Used End of the Rest Area at the NC Welcome Center.
Ha! That song about bottles on a wall comes to mind. Enjoy your rendezvous. I hope your weekend weather there, is drier than it’s forecasted to be here.
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.
Oh, yes! We did find the geocache and it was well worth the effort.
