Ventured outside for a walk down our road and up the main gravel road in the cove. From the tracks in the snow it looks like most of our neighbors stayed home during the storm and only ventured out on foot. After a bit of a hike we headed back to the house to split and stack a mess of firewood next to the door. Later in the day friends hiked down from their home to ours for some homemade comfort food – Chicken & Dumplings and Sweet Potato pie!
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.
