When you find a geocache, you get a smiley face on the map. Today we completed a series dedicated to the various editions of the Boy Scout Handbook. That added thirty-four smileys to our map for a total of four hundred fifty. Lou challenged us to get five hundred by July 4th, our geocaching first anniversary. It might be possible. The fun was a bit moderated by the flat tire on the T@B but we found someone who was able to fix it and get us back on the road to Fall Creek Falls State Park!
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.
Go 500, Rah Rah Rah! … Just don’t let it become consuming.
