Our first foray into Missouri cas come to an end. We’ve enjoyed the experiences we’ve had on this short visit and look forward to an opportunity to visit for a fortnight or more. We didn’t get the chance this trip to even visit St Louis much less dig into its history or try to uncover some family history there. There are many adventures yet to be had in the Show Me State but there are folks expecting us in Indiana and Ohio before we make tracks back to Tween Creeks. We’ve been exploring west of the Mississippi for some twelve weeks and it’s been fabulous. The time has come through to begin trekking through the eastern states for a while.
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.
