This morning as we ate breakfast, we pulled out the Canada map we acquired yesterday at AAA and began to figure out where we could go over the next couple of months. Do we want to venture into Canada now and head west through the provinces? We’d already begun to question whether the wildfires might dampen our enthusiasm for visiting California this fall then we began to look not only at the wildfires in southwestern Canada but the air quality in the western states. There’s one thing we really really want to do and that’s visit family in Salt Lake City so we’ll do that first. Then we’ll continue to watch the air quality reports and make plans as we go along!
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.
