We have been at home at Tween Creeks for ten weeks but this morning we are transitioning to at home in the T@B. We have spent the last few days tying up loose ends and surveying each room several times to make sure we have remembered everything we will need to keep us happy, healthy, and productive for the nearly ten weeks we expect to be on the road this trip. Our route today will be interstate through Atlanta and hopefully as far as Montgomery through a rainstorm that’s blanketing the southeast right now. We’re hoping to make it into New Orleans tomorrow afternoon!
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.
New adventures await. Pleasant travels.
Thanks! We’ve left the traffic of Atlanta behind and may soon drive out from under this crazy rainstorm. Hopefully we’ll see clear skies soon!
