Rebecca is spending the month with us. It’s a challenge for a city girl to adapt to life in a semi-remote location. And it’s a challenge to have to get up at 7:30AM daily and to put up with the constant disruption of house renovation. But one of her joys is to hang out with our neighborhood dog, Sam. And Sam enjoys it too. He comes to visit more often since Rebecca has been here.
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.
