Staying warm and cozy inside in winter is all well and good but sometimes you just gotta get outside. Bill, Meg, and Karen decided to be crazy enough to walk four miles from the house to the coffee shop. (Called for a ride home though!) Eased any sore muscles with a soak in the hot tub at the Japanese spa, Ten Thousand Waves, and finished out a wonderful day with dinner at Blue Corn Cafe in downtown Santa Fe.
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.
