This afternoon found Karen at the knitting guild meeting and lending some weaving expertise to a friend while Steve worked on the latest revision to the Thole video and uploading research files to the server. We discovered that phone conversations are impossible when we are eating up all of our bandwidth for file uploads. This evening we enjoyed dinner with friends at Thai Paradise in Franklin. Very yummy! We decided that the next time we four go there we are going to just get all of the appetizers and share them all. The basil rolls were incredible!
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.
