With our good friends Mary and Stan, we made a trip into Asheville today. Among the interests that we share with them is RV travel. We rendezvoused with them for a weekend in June. We had hoped to meet up in the UP in September but ultimately that didn’t work out. So we made plans to spend today together swapping travel tales while exploring possible travel style upgrades at Camping World and REI and tickling our taste buds with Korean food at Stone Bowl and gourmet frozen yogurt at YaYa’s. Yum! Now to take all our new goodies home and incorporate it into our T@B lifestyle. This might just make us want to take Gigi on the road again soon!
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.
Sounds like a fun day, and productive, too!
Thought about it, but we had 3-4 inches of rain that day and it was 40 degrees. Not good outdoors weather.
