Winton Woods rather feels like home to us. It’s often where we put down stakes when we come to Cincinnati to visit family but this time we came to enjoy quiet and be alone after the wonderfully busy eleven days in Sugarcreek. It’s a Sunday night and much of the weekend crowd has left but there are still quite a few summer campers still here. We chose Site 55, an electric only site away from the playground, the lake view, and the full hookups. According to the office we’re likely to have no neighbors for our two night stay. It will give us a chance to relax and recharge a bit and also do a little big city shopping before heading to our mountain house.
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.
