Karen arrived home from Ireland very very late on Monday and proceeded to begin the recovery from the effects of the five hour time change. Steve packed up the four boxes of photos that he scanned while she was gone in preparation to ship them to Greg for long term storage. We’ve been excitedly telling tales of our adventures during our time apart and making plans for our next adventure as well as thoughts about long range plans. Through all of that we’re responding to messages from fellow T@B 400 owners and helping them deal with little details that make life on the road even sweeter.
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.
