Ryan and his friend Cameron met us at Albuquerque Sunport and whisked us away to the Flying Star, a fun cafe where at least one of us indulged in a Green Chile Cheeseburger – Yes! We are in New Mexico! Jana and her charge, Zoe, and Mary Lou met us there. After lunch we repaired to the Tingley Beach Boat Pond where Ryan gave us instruction and allowed us to sail his and Jana’s radio controlled boats. What fun! Then with Lou we headed for Santa Fe and 10,000 Waves. We soaked for a while in a hot tub and relaxed away all of our tensions before indulging in a wonderful meal at Osteria d’Assisi. What a wonderful way to begin our visit.
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.
