More Rain! It has rained every day this week. Okay, not continuous rain the whole time. We’ve seen a little bit of sunshine. But it has rained more than not. When it’s not raining rain, it’s raining autumn leaves! It’s been a good week for indoor projects and we’ve been busy with those. One of the things we learned early this evening is that a hot tub not under roof is not so much fun in the pouring rain.
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.

Really? Why not – I’d have thought hot tub in the rain would be fun and adventurous. (Rachel is not sure she agrees).
It would have been lots more fun if we had worn rain hats. It’s the rain in your eyes that isn’t worth the adventure.
