One of the delights of our two night stay at Lake Chelan State Park Site #31 has been our proximity to the lakeshore. It has beckoned us out for morning and evening walks. The park offers some wonderful lakeside tent sites with gorgeous views and nice privacy contrasted with the out in the open squished together full hookup sites on concrete pads. Ours was a water/electric site on a gravel pad with a bit of elbow room between us and our neighbors, a back-in site with woods behind us. We did arrive on Wednesday without reservations and had several sites to choose from as long as we planned to leave on Friday to make room for the weekend crowd!
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.
