Without knowing just how quickly or slowly we’d progress from California to Indiana, we delayed making reservations for Labor Day Weekend until a few days ago knowing full well we’d have limited options. Fortunately we did score a stay at the West Omaha KOA near Gretna, Nebraska – but for Friday night only. All that was available was a deluxe site complete with a wooden deck and cafe table and chairs! Knowing how busy this particular campground tends to be based upon our stay here in early July, we’re grateful for a spot on this busy camping weekend, even if it is adjacent to US-6 and not nearly so quiet as some of the campsites in the back. It’s been a pleasant last night in the great state of Nebraska. We’ve had some wonderful adventures here! Today we’ll move on. More adventure awaits!
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.
