After years of hearing our tales of travel and of following our blog, Karen’s sister joined us for a week of unplanned adventures. She arrived at Eugene Airport at midday and immediately began planning our next adventure. After a stop by the T@B for a light lunch we headed to nearby LaVelle Vineyard for a tasting and then a glass of wine and a fruit and cheese plate outside within view of the vines. We enjoyed every wine we tried but sipped on an Estate Riesling, a Pommard Pinot Noir, and a Late Harvest Riesling as we planned further adventures!
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.
