Sitting here at the campground at Grahams Island State Park actually on an island in Devils Lake, the largest freshwater lake in North Dakota. We pulled in on Wednesday for a luxurious four night stay on Site #154 with full hookups and a very easy walk to the boat ramp and along the lakeshore. This place definitely caters to fishermen and from our spot we can watch fishing boats come and go and successful fishermen cleaning their catch at a state of the art cleaning station. Yesterday we enjoyed a trip to town to visit the laundromat and the grocery. Then last evening on a lovely walk through the campgrounds we had a chance to make friends with some fellow T@B travelers from Holland MI. This morning however we’re hunkered down inside our T@B 400 totally enjoying the comfort of this lovely shelter as rain pours down. Our Accuweather app promises the rain will continue for hours to come. Life is good and the adventures we’d planned for today can wait for the rain to pass.
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.
