We discovered The Century Inn today as part of a geocache search at the location of the tollbooth on the old Cincinnati & Hamilton Turnpike. Although we haven’t yet uncovered the cache, it was a fine thing to discover a part of Hamilton County history that links into family genealogy and much of the American history we’ve been delving into recently. All this was on the way back from Kroger’s in Glendale getting things for today’s reunion as well as canned Skyline, Frisch’s tartar sauce, and Glier’s goetta to fuel further travels!
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.
