Ever heard of this place? We hadn’t. We were just driving north on FL Hwy 71 when we saw a sign for a campground not listed in any of the apps we had consulted. We pulled in and found a delightful little Dead Lakes Park RV & Campground with a gracious host, a sparkling clean shower house, and a scenic lake. Now if you want to launch a boat, now’s not the best time, the ramp is flooded but this is definitely a place we’d like to visit again.
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.
