Our longtime friends Sharon & Jim, who followed our blog as we made our way around the country this summer, contacted us even before we returned to Tween Creeks and suggested we get together. We met today at The Carolina Smokehouse for some yummy pulled pork and delightful conversation then proceeded together to Silver Run Falls and then on to Whitewater Falls. Gorgeous with the autumn foliage and the perfect temperatures! We four enjoyed it so much we’ve planned another lunch and hike next week!
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.
