Today we headed to Wytheville yet again. After five nights on the road it’s time for one night in a full service campground. We’re ready for a propane tank refill (it was only a quarter full when we left and we used it for heat on some cold nights), for a laundry night, for full hookups to finish the de-winterizing process. On top of that the Wytheville KOA offers pizza delivery, and that sounds great. Although we’ve stayed here a number of times, we have always approached the campground from the interstate but today we traveled north on the Blue Ridge Parkway to Laurel Springs NC and ultimately approached Wytheville from the south on US 21. It’s the first time we’ve traveled through the town on the way to the campground!
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.
