It was a rainy trip from Bloomington to Richmond, Indiana. After setup on Site 5 at the KOA, we discussed the feasibility of preparing dinner then invoked the “That’s why God made restaurants!” comment that we use when curious people ask about cooking in the clamshell kitchen when it rains and took ourselves to Carver’s Family Restaurant. We listened to rain on the roof through the night. By morning the weather app told us we were on the trailing edge of the eastward moving storm system. So, of course, we packed up and now we’re heading east!
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.
