It’s an unassuming shelter for a bus stop on 77th Avenue N. Will never show up in a list of architectural wonders, but for us it unleashes a flood of memories of good times with CJ as she was making her transition to independent adulthood. She would often travel by bus across the bay from her apartment near USF-Tampa to visit us in our apartment in downtown St Petersburg. This was often her starting point for her journey home at the end of a fun weekend!
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.
