Went with Lou for our first ever spinning class. Wow! We managed to hang in there for the whole class. When we left the fitness studio, it was SNOWING! Snowing in APRIL! We spent part of the day working with Lou bringing her up to speed with her new MacBook. When Bill got off work we departed for Cedar Crest. It was a treacherous drive through the snowfall but we finally arrived at Elaine’s Bed & Breakfast and began our enchanted weekend – including delicious flan and a candlelit soak in the hot tub with snow falling all around
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.
