Since one of Lou’s hopes for our week together is to visit the Heceta Head Lighthouse, we headed for the coast and found ourselves the beautiful Site B3 in the Sutton Campground in the Siuslaw National Forest. As we were finishing set up and preparing to lunch on wraps made with chicken from last night’s grill fest, James the camp host stopped by to get a T@B tour. As we often do, we asked him to clue us in to some of the local information. Thus when we arrived at the lighthouse just after three, too late for the last tour of the day, we already had an alternate plan!
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.
