It was a full two weeks ago that we boarded Spirit 813 for a one-way trip to DFW. It’s been an emotion filled visit with family since. Today we’re headed “home” to St Petersburg to reclaim our T@B and truck and resume our vagabond lifestyle. Again we’re flying Spirit, this time it’s Flight 812 found on our newly installed Kayak app. Our carry-on bags are probably small enough to be considered personal items but we declared them as carry-on just to be sure. Spirit is the epitome of no-frills flying but a nice reasonable way to get from here to there. Especially nice if it’s a non-stop.
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.
