After a couple of balmy nights at the KOA in Richmond Hill GA, we awakened to gray skies and a forecast of colder temperatures and rain reminding us that today’s the day to winterize! We each luxuriated in one last shower then began packing. Knowing that we have two days of travel and two more nights at freezing temperatures, this morning was the morning to begin moving our clothing and gear into the truck and to test the claim that the T@B 400 is easy to winterize. We got it all done and we’re finally on the highway while it’s still morning. Just barely!
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.
