Lots of friends, old and new, for a total of 93 people, gathered at the Madison Clubhouse to celebrate our 17th Annual Deck Day. It was a wonderful party. Friends came to share good food and play the day away. The traditional 3D puzzle was a centerpiece but had to compete with a Wii, card games, Yahtzee, Uno, and balloon animals. Thank you everyone for making our last Deck Day in St Petersburg a wonderful success. It wouldn’t have been the same without you. See you next year in North Carolina!
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.
