In the morning, a bit of errands. Steve needed a haircut and got a great one from Shauna at Great Clips. We got some treats and other supplies at Albertsons. That triggered a memory or two since Karen worked for them in St Petersburg many years ago. In the afternoon, a bit of adventure. We went in search of the BLM White Mountain Road dispersed camping area off I-80 onto Wild Horse Canyon Road turning into White Mountain Road. We found no evidence of camping activity near the specified GPS coordinates but did see spectacular scenery. And in the evening , a bit of celebration at Coyote Creek Steakhouse where we not only enjoyed a fine meal but learned a bit of history about Butch Cassidy.
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.
Beautiful scenery and lovely way to celebrate 45 great years together! Happy anniversary!
