After breakfast today we were thwarted in our efforts to make a second cuppa. The stove wouldn’t light. Sure enough, we’re out of propane! A Google search and a phone call later and we added Lakes Gas Company in Hager City WI as an interim destination to our day’s plan. Our route took us through Red Wing MN, home of Red Wing Shoes, and across the Mississippi. Once at Lakes Gas we had our two propane tanks filled in a jiffy and were on our way south to Pepin.
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.
