Not Kellie, or Steve, or Karen really wanted to head to the gym this evening. Instead we grabbed our water bottles and resistance band and headed for Spa Beach Park. There we did our workout utilizing trees and park benches as exercise equipment. We couldn’t resist a little clowning. When Kellie suggested doing dips (an exercise involving the seat of the park bench) we opted to do at least one dance dip there in the open air with the sunset as background. Later we chatted with Greg and got a peek at his new spectacles!
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.
