Things started a little slowly this morning. We didn’t have anything scheduled until early afternoon so we lingered over breakfast. Then we gathered in the Crooners Lounge on Deck Seven above the Piazza. There were about a dozen of us who debarked together but then there were only five of us who ended up taking a taxi together into downtown. Arleene, Ed2, Loren, and we poked around a bit. We two got a few paintings and some soda can art. Then we started wandering back in the direction of the ship. Ultimately we decided to contribute to the local economy again and hired a taxi back the rest of the way. Stopped for a rum drink, purchase of some sea glass, and a quick dip in the surf before getting back on board for another fabulous dinner and dancing in The Adagio to the strains of The Ruby Orchestra, the best live music for swing dancing yet this week!
Dakar, Senegal: A Wolof Village & The Pink Lake
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.
