This morning started incredibly early with the alarm going off at 4:30AM. Within the hour we were on the road heading to Asheville Regional Airport. Easy trip through security then a Delta flight to Atlanta. From here we will catch a flight to Dallas-Fort Worth to be with family members for a while. We’re flying on a One Way ticket and have no idea how long it will be before we’re back on the road with our 400.
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.
