The “Walker’s Club” gathered at breakfast. Our numbers were diminished because several people wanted to do fun things like cave tubing or rain forest line zipping. The remaining seven took the tender into town then set out on foot to find what sights we might. After exploring the area of the lighthouse we split up and three of us continued on into unknown territory. Of the adventures we had that day was a foray into the Museum of Belize housed in what had been the prison during the British Colonial days.
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.
