While we have been spending the winter scanning old paper records and memorabilia – over eight thousand images so far, Sc@rlett has been snoozing under her cover. When our local friends would ask us, “When’s the next trip?”, we’ve responded that we don’t have anything planned until June. That changed today. We made reservation for a three night stay at Myrtle Beach Travel Park and a rendezvous with our northern Indiana friends, Patrick & Patty of Travels with Delaney. We’ll enjoy a change of scenery and a break from our current routine as well as an opportunity to hang out with friends for a bit.
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.
