After awakening at Ponchartrain Landing we got the T@B ready and stored it and the truck at the RV park and called United Cab. As our driver dropped us off we found Laura, Mason, Peter, and Patrick on the sidewalk outside our hotel. After stowing the luggage we set out in search of sustenance. We found friendly service, good food, and coffee. Now time to return to the hotel and rendezvous with the rest of the gang who are now enroute from the airport!
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.
