We all dressed up for a second formal night and enjoyed a wonderful dinner. You should have seen the production of trying to get all of us to cooperate for a photo! Somehow during dinner the story spread that Steve & Karen and Ed had been booted out of Michael’s Club for being too rowdy. So lots of the of the crowd joined us to see what it was all about. Steve, the pianist, played into the wee small hours and kept the party going!
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.
