It’s the calm before the storm but Winton is relatively quiet right now. By evening it will be wild and crazy as the holiday weekend ramps up but by then we’ll be out of here. We’re pretty well packed up and ready to roll but sitting and enjoying the quiet as we monitor the radar and the path of a band of showers along our proposed route. In a bit we’ll finish hooking up and head for Buckeye Lake KOA where we have reservations for the wild and crazy Fourth of July 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.
