Last night Sally was talking about the possibility of treating herself to a Canadian Rockies Train trip for an upcoming birthday. We thought it would be fun to go with her to the Traverse City AAA to begin the planning process. And the two of us took the opportunity to get some maps, tour books, and ideas for our excursion into Michigan’s Upper Peninsula and possible adventures in British Columbia. Our experience with Doreen was fabulous! Here’s hoping her upcoming trip to Alaska exceeds all her expectations!
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.
