Spent the day pulling furniture and boxes out of the storage room. The room that will become our study. We some furniture up the stairs to the bedroom and the study. Lots of boxes to be unpacked then broken down and packed into the car to be hauled to the recycling center. The exciting moment came when we found the first of the corners on the back wall of the study. Still lots and lots of boxes yet to be moved and unpacked. Why do we own this much stuff?
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.
