We may be jumping the gun just a little but we want to be able to take our time and enjoy the process of getting ready for Christmas. We went to Watson’s tree farm just down the road and chose our own tree. The epitome of freshly cut! It’s now up in it’s stand in the living room with the American Flyer chugging around it. As we were setting it up, we tuned in to an internet radio station and were delighted to be listening to Snoopy vs the Red Baron. That song conjures up some wonderful Christmas memories! And we are well on our way to having our Christmas cards in the mail. We treasure the tradition of staying in touch with far away family and friends at Christmas time. And even more we are excitedly anticipating the gathering of family for a Tween Creeks Christmas!
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.
