It’s been a great day for just chilling out. We took a short walk this morning to meet the owners of a nearby T@B 400. David & Agneta have been boondocking here in the Alabama Hills BLM since Tuesday. Mid-afternoon found us enjoying burgers at Mt Whitney Restaurant in nearby Lone Pine, California. The trip to town was mostly to get a Verizon signal and check for messages. From there we headed back past out T@B and out the Movie Road loop to make the easy hike to the Mobius Arch. Other than that we just enjoyed a very low keyed day. Lots of sitting outside, watching others come and go, a nap or two, reading, a little housekeeping, some more short walks after dark. This is a great place to unplug and unwind!
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.
