After an overnight Saturday at Shephard State Park in Gautier MS that included Mass at St Michael’s in Biloxi, we chose this KOA near Lillian AL as our home for two nights. Our T@B nestled in under wonderful old live oak trees here on the Lost Coast and we enjoyed a day off to do laundry and de-winterize the T@B. Actually we were a bit premature on that since the temperature dipped to 31F at 6AM this morning. Nonetheless we both appreciated a bit of down time. Now this morning we’ll continue our meandering ways. We’ll need to head east if we’re going to eventually head south for the promise of warmer weather!
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.
It was warmer here, but we still needed jackets to work in the garage. Stay warm and safe!
