Thirty-six years ago tomorrow Mother and Dad celebrated their 24th Wedding Anniversary by marrying off their eldest daughter Karen to Steve. Today we celebrated both anniversaries by renewing our vows at mass at St Anthony of Padua Church, Bud & Cathie’s parish. Then after a final breakfast at the St Charles Inn and a brief visit with Alice & Ken, we hugged everyone and set our sights on Tween Creeks. Arrived home late but happy.
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.
