After a day spend scrubbing, cleaning, vacuuming, and so on in an attempt to leave our apartment as pristine as it was when we got it, we treated ourselves to an evening of dance and friends at Nova 535 the newest of Jamie & Arleene’s swing dance venues. It’s a fabulously renovated art gallery and social gathering place. We toured some of the party rooms and hobnobbed with friends old and new as well as danced with one another and with friends.
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.
