Three miles before breakfast has become our routine. At the house over the winter we’ve made the walk inside the house, walking circuits around furniture and through the various downstairs rooms or back and forth along the upstairs hall sometimes even up and down the stairs. This morning we did our early morning walk north along Myrtle Beach, spying a Coast Guard vessel just offshore, and enjoying temperatures just right for our long sleeved shirts and jeans. We opted out of the opportunity to patronize the campground restaurant for a “Breakfast by the Sea” and instead headed home to our T@B 400 for our usual Spicy Savory Oatmeal and Eggs. Later today we expect the arrival of our friends from northern Indiana. In the meantime we plan to relax around camp and maybe do some poking around the area looking for unexpected opportunities. Life is good!
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.
