Needing to replenish some energy expended by exploring Old North Columbus, the neighborhood of The Ohio State University, we stopped into Buckeye Donuts on High Street. It’s a friendly indie eatery that’s been here for forty-seven years. They were impressed that it was Karen’s first visit back to the neighborhood for many many years. Their Buckeye (chocolate and peanut butter iced) donut is famous but their Red Velvet donut is not to be missed!
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.
