This natural Lake Couer d’Alene in northern Idaho is absolutely gorgeous. We camped south of here last night and came into town this morning to explore and to run a few errands. Didn’t know we had picked one of the busiest weekends of the summer. Iron Man Coeur d’Alene is tomorrow and downtown is crazy busy and several streets are blocked off. We were still able to make our way to Spokane Power Tools to get routine service for our generator, get some delicious sandwiches and mountain berry tea at Bakery By The Lake at Parkside, explore the downtown lakefront park, find a geocache, and stop at the local IGA to snag some groceries. Time now to head back to the quiet of the forest!
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.
