Our next adventure began a couple of hours ago when we left home after dark to head to the Greenville SC Amtrak Station and The Crescent scheduled to depart at 10:58PM. With some time to spare we checked Yelp! and chose Soby’s in downtown for dinner. Good call! Our choice off the chef driven menu was to share a most delectable Pork Tenderloin dinner followed by a Snickerdoodle Cheesecake. The cuisine exuded Southern style and the service did too. Got a text from Amtrak while we were dining advising us that the train is running behind schedule. We lingered long enough at table that the ice rink was cleared of skaters by the time we walked past on our way back to the truck but the festive lights along the street made for a delightful scene augmented by the crisp chilly air.
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.
