We made it back to MI! For three years we’ve been waiting for an opportunity to get back and explore this state some more. We’ve visited here a number of times for family events in Bay City or visiting our friend Sally in Traverse City. Back in 2012 we had to cut our U.P. adventures short when we learned we were expected in Lexington KY for a special event. Tonight we are in Portage Lake Campground in the Waterloo State Recreation Area near Jackson. Since it’s our first Michigan adventure in the T@B, we’ll be able to add a state sticker to our map tomorrow!
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.
