There’s nothing like having local guides. Folks who know can lead you to the best Croissants and Iced Coffee at the amazing Farmers Market in Bloomington IN then stop at Rasta Pops to try some delectable gourmet popsicles, before leading you through a delightful Historic Antique Mall then guiding you to a quiet corner of The Tap for a midday thirst quencher and snack. In our rambles we sometimes stumble onto treasures like these but it’s such fun to be guided from one great spot to another by those in the know!
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.
