The Redwoods called and we listened. We came home to Burlington. It’s our fourth stay in this magical grove and in fact our second stay on Site 53. Ever since we pitched a tiny tent under these glorious trees in 2008, Burlington has had a special place in our hearts. This time we reserved our site on ReserveCalifornia.com. It was a totally frustrating but ultimately rewarding experience. We’ve got three nights in this magical place. Our plans are to just sit back, relax, and enjoy our hammock while staring into the crowns of these majestic trees. The crowds have eased and most campers are staying just one night giving us some delicious solitude in the middle of the day. It’s fabulous!
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.
