No visit to Cincinnati, with the myriad of relatives that we have on both sides, is complete without a visit with Uncle Neil and Aunt Vi. We enjoyed a lunch with them at Bob Evans then a home baked dessert and coffee back at their apartment then regaled them with tales from the road and listened with interest to their family stories of then and now. Later in the day we managed to get some Graeter’s Ice Cream and in the evening enjoyed a Frisch’s meal with Cousin Mary and her friend.
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.
