We’re headed to the Pacific! We spent some time this morning looking at the map of the USA and possible routes and waypoints as well as time frames. Currently we’re traveling west through Ohio into Indiana more or less following US-30, The Lincoln Highway. In accordance with our desire to keep a leisurely pace, we’ve stopped to find a couple of geocaches. One was named Westward Ho! At the next one which was a cool tribute to the cache owner’s Dad, we picked up a travel bug that coincidentally is a tribute to the TB owner’s Dad! The game of Geocaching adds yet another dimension to the adventure of a cross country road trip!
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.
