After yesterday’s adventures along blue highways, we overnighted at the Laramie KOA and headed out this morning along the interstate highway with no particular plans until we approached Cheyenne, Wyoming and noticed a brown sign. Next thing we knew we were parked on Central Avenue just outside of the Wyoming State Museum immersing ourselves in all things Wyoming. From the Jurassic Age to the Twentieth Century, from a Yellowstone Touring Wagon to a Sheep Wagon, from sugar beets to a Carnegie library, we took a wonderful trip through Wyoming history and capped it off with a fun conversation in the gift shop. It was a great way to finish our Wyoming visit!
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.
I didn’t make it there. Looks great! Next time:)
Remember to plan to return. You can’t eat everything on the menu of a fine restaurant the first time you visit!
