Overcast skies seemed to dominate our visit to Ohio. There were frigid days with ice on the sidewalk and crunchy snow in the yard and some days warm enough to melt all that, providing us with dry roads for our departure, but we never saw blue skies for more than a few minutes at a time so the crisp blue skies above Tween Creeks is a treat. We enjoyed a somewhat leisurely and uneventful trip home punctuated by an overnight in a Comfort Inn in Beckley WV. It seemed weird traveling without a T@B behind us and to be looking for a hotel rather than a campground! Now we’re back at our house for a few days. Time to unpack the truck, repack Gigi, and pack our duffles for the Caribbean. First order of business though is to chill out with some Christmas music and a seasonal movie or two!
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.
