From our visit in 2012 we fondly remember Grand Marais as the location of the first gas station west of Muskallonge and a restaurant where we grabbed a meal before hurrying off to Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. This time we lingered a little. Now we can tell you that it is home to Woodland Park Campground which boasts a laundry room and is situated between Lake Superior and the First Lutheran Church whose chimes ring every half hour from 8AM to 8:30PM. It’s also home to the Lake Superior Brewing Company restaurant which was out of many many menu items but served a decent Chicken Tenders meals and a nice Pale Ale. They didn’t offer dessert but directed us to the Breakwall Bakery and Cafe where we enjoyed a luscious Cherry Cheesecake and coffee. We must go back sometime to try the Fudge Puddles! On the three block walk back to the T@B we stopped by the gas station/grocery and restocked our larder after locating their geocache! Grand Marais is definitely on our map now. We’ll be back to explore this tiny town more thoroughly!
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.
