The living room floor is installed, the furniture is back in place, life in the house is getting back to normal and now it’s time for Rebecca to go home, with some mixed emotions. But she’ll be glad to be closer to basic services back into the big city. At least she and her mother have a full belly of local foods from the farmers market and the fishmonger in town. It was a very yummy lunch!
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.

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.
