Although today’s departure wasn’t until afternoon we still stopped for a pre-departure meal at Bojangles. Usually we indulge in a breakfast biscuit sandwich but this time the sandwiches were grilled chicken. From there we headed to Wytheville and a KOA with which we are very familiar. And in another nod to our travel traditions we dined on Hunt Brother’s pizza prepared on site. Usually we have it delivered to our campsite but with today’s later arrival we picked it up in the Fun Center and brought it back to our campsite to enjoy our repast at the picnic table covered in our new tablecloth. Our Summer Ramble has begun!
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.
