We started today with a delightful breakfast with Pam and John and girls. Then with Ken we drove to Clearwater for an eggs benedict brunch with Martha. Then after 6PM Mass at St Paul’s we had a wonderful visit with Patty. We have a long history at St Paul’s. The two of us were parishioners from 1974 to 1985 and from 1991 to present. Karen was a student here 1960 to 1964 and all three of our children graduated from St. Paul’s School. People here have been our friends for decades. The good byes have not been easy.
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.
