It’s been a glorious four months since we left these beautiful Smoky Mountains. Today we are returning on a fabulously sunny day. It will be good to settle into the house at Tween Creeks for a bit. We’re going to enjoy our deck, and outdoor fire pit, and especially our hot tub while we reflect on this trip and plan the next adventure!
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.
Was good seeing you guys again.The hot tub sounds inviting, so does the deck and fire pit. been there and done that 🙂
hope to visit NC again soon!
