Riley & Rhonda were up bright and early and were downstairs watching Dora the Explorer when Nana, Grandpop, and Aunt CJ awakened. It took Riley only a little while to get curious about her visitors and begin socializing with us. By late morning her Daddy and her Grandpop had begun the demolition of the kitchen cabinets and discovered evidence that the cabinets were nearly as old as her Daddy. By afternoon Riley was freely sharing kisses and by bedtime she had totally lost her reserve with us and had found her voice!
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.
