Our home at the moment is Ventura Ranch KOA in the hills of California’s Ventura County. This morning is beautiful, sunny, and pleasantly cool as we prepare breakfast in our T@B Clamshell kitchen. Last night though we had the excitement of a windstorm lasting from about 11PM to 12:30AM. We guess the gusts were up to 40 or 50 mph. Definitely strong enough to rock the trailet. They may have been the famous Santa Ana winds which are forecast for this 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.
