With a weekend coming up we thought it would be prudent to have a reservation so we consulted Allstays for an appealing place within a reasonable distance of Spokane. Peaceful Pines sounded nice so we called. They were full on Saturday. No, wait! Just eighteen feet? We could fit us into #6 which is technically a dry site but if we had a power cord extension, we could piggyback onto the pedestal on #7. Sounds good to us! We made the 131 mile trip and arrived early afternoon. Tracy is a delightful host and set up went smoothly. She did warn us that trains run nearby. Hopefully that will be fun.
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.
