One more stop on the journey back to our house. A couple of years ago we were one of the first to find a geocache placed at this rest area west of Waynesville NC. Today we learned there’s another cache here but we opted not to scramble up to retrieve it. Sometimes discretion is the better part of valor. Perhaps someday if we’re in the company of someone a bit more nimble we’ll participate in the find but for now we’re keeping our feet on the sidewalk and studying some of the characteristics of the granite below the cache!
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.
