Very much enjoyed the hospitality of Karen’s sister Patti and her husband Mark and their furry housemates. Got to spend time with niece Rebecca and her special guy, Will. On Monday evening we had a delightful visit with Karen’s sister, Alice. On Tuesday afternoon we headed north into Oklahoma.
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.
Please tell me that you three played some cards! And was there any vanilla extract?
It looks like Steve is trying to do a Vulcan Mind Meld with that cat! What an incredible trip you two are on. Hope to see you soon. Kathy
