We awakened to a beautiful day and celebrated with a walk out to the beach before packing it up and moving on. We left Hoeft without definite plans, just knowing that we wanted to continue our Michigan rambles. Something just drew us north. Up US-23 then north on I-75 over the Big Mac bridge and onto the Upper Peninsula. We got ourselves a site for four nights at the Rivermouth Campground in Tahquamenon Falls State Park. We stayed here for two nights in September 2012 in our Silver Shadow. We’ll enjoy returning to some of the same places and exploring new things. Meanwhile we’re giving T@B tours and meeting new friends. We did get to walk along the river shore for a bit during last light this evening. It’s beautiful 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.
