Today we crossed Michigan’s Mackinac Bridge, known as the Mighty Mack. We love this iconic bridge and always delight not only in the incredible engineering required to span the Straits of Mackinac but the amazing views of Lake Huron to the east and Lake Michigan to the west. Just beyond the bridge we turned west to hug the shore of Lake Michigan for a while then north to the southern shore of Superior. We’re now encamped at the Munising Tourist Park Campground. We enjoyed hobnobbing with a newish T@B 400 owner before heading out to the lakeshore at sunset. This is a place for lingering but we’re currently on the move. That said, Michigan’s Upper Peninsula is a place we love coming back to again and again.
We are glad you are again posting to your blog. Sometimes I read them backwards…like I read your second post because it was “above” this one. We love Mackinac Island. We rode a bike the 8.2 miles around the perimeter. Gorgeous!
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.
Love the beach pics!
