Redford, our Ford F-150 has been itching for adventure ever since joining the family in October 2019. Yes, he and Sc@rlett have partnered with us for a few shorter excursions but today we are getting an early start on our Summer Ramble. First stop, Easter with family in Ohio! To say that everyone’s excited after a year of conscientiously staying home, is quite the understatement! Even as we continue to mask and socially distance, we’re incredibly excited to resume our wanderings!
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.
So exciting!!!! Happy Easter!
