Crowded campgrounds! Especially in resort areas. We headed today for The Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area with our eye on the Army Corps of Engineers Canal Campground near Grand Rivers KY. Of the 110 campsites here all 108 reservable sites are taken for this weekend after the 4th of July. Luckily we had our choice of either of the two Walk-In sites. We chose #18 and paid for three nights but we have the option of extending our stay to a max of fourteen nights! On our walk around this evening we began to surmise that many of the campers are families that come here the same week or two weeks every year and have created somewhat of a summer camp atmosphere. There’s quite a few white DIY 5 gallon bucket lanterns. The primary mode of transportation is golf cart, even on the roads outside the park! But we have to say we’re enjoying our little quiet dark corner of the camp!
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.
