The narrow stairs in our house no longer exist. They have been ripped out and are being replaced by Kirk Hamilton. The new oak treads will be deeper than the old ones and will be so much easier to walk up and down. Actually so many things are being fixed up and renovated around the house that it seems like there is no safe place in the house. We’re redoing ceilings and painting walls. We have scheduled air conditioning modifications and carpet installation upstairs. There is a mess in every room!
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.
