For thirty years we’ve been fans of Georgia State Parks and have some sweet memories of Spring Break trips with our youngsters to places like Hard Labor Creek or Unicoi. In more recent years we have explored other parks such as Cloud Canyon. One park we’ve driven past countless times and always remarked that we should plan someday to stop and visit is Tallulah Gorge. That “someday” is here. We arrived early afternoon and booked a three night stay. We were set up before the rains started. Now it’s time to just relax and enjoy camp on a rainy day and happily look forward to tomorrow’s adventures.
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.
