It’s been exactly a month since Gary’s surgery and nearly four weeks since we arrived in Largo to be of assistance in his recovery. He’s progressed to where he can walk independently with a cane according to the PT staff. Don’t tell that when they aren’t looking he walks merely carrying the cane. There’s still a little more that he has to accomplish before he can come home but he is (and we are) more than ready to leave this wonderful rehab facility behind.
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.
