Up very early. Susan took us to catch the Escot Bus and saw us aboard. Discovered that we did not have any fellow Savoy at Sea travelers on our bus so it was a quiet trip. The party started slowly once we got onboard. Cell phone texts helped us locate some of our fellow dancers. Then finally we all gathered for a meet and greet before our group dinner. Then on to the real business of finding the best music and dance floors on the Ruby Princess! Ended the day by wrapping up in blankets and watchingthe end of the Super Bowl on the JumboTron up on the pool deck. A most unusual Super Bowl Party!
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.
