Today’s weather was just right – partly sunny with no rain on the radar. Put our kayaks in at Crisp Park shortly before high tide. Chose to explore one of the side waterways off of Smacks Bayou. The northeast part of it is a hidden waterway. On Steve’s right in this photo is the Vinoy Club Golf Course (formerly Snell Isle Country Club) on his left are pricey homes screened by mangroves. It was a wonderful excursion and now, a few hours later our slightly sore muscles tell us it was a good workout also.
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.

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.
