Forayed out in the morning for a delightful breakfast at Buck’s Cafe in Woodside then headed back to the apartment to wait for the truck. The movers arrived in a truck too big to negotiate the narrow street so all of us helped unload Lou’s few boxes and a couple of pieces of furniture. Lou & Steve ducked out to purchase some soundboard to help reduce the noise between Lou and her neighbor. By the time they got back it was raining again and beginning to get dark so we opted to stay in rather than go exploring in the dark and the cold and the rain.
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.
