Heading west currently on I-30. We overnighted in Texarkana. Now as we are traveling through Greenville TX, Eric has hit the milestone of 100,000 miles! Boy have we had some fun adventures with this truck and anticipate lots more adventures yet to come. We have anticipated this benchmark and have been treating our favorite truck to some extra care. He’s got new spark plugs and is scheduled for new hoses soon. Gotta take care of our buddy!
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.
