As we have traveled through the Harrisburg PA area many times we’ve commented that we needed to visit one of these days. Hershey is a legendary chocolate company, a community, and an amusement park. Our personal interest was in the origins of the chocolates that sweetened our childhoods so we visited The Hershey Story Museum to learn how Milton Hershey developed a formula not just for an affordable chocolate for mass consumption but succeeded in selling it to the nation. We shared the experience with an amazing number of other visitors on this Sunday of Labor Day weekend.
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.
