Plans changed this morning. We learned that Karen’s Dad had made an early morning trip to the emergency room so instead of heading to Largo to help Gary with his house project, we headed to Zephyrhills. We spent the morning and early afternoon with Karen’s mother and dad. No definitive answers on why dad’s not feeling well but he was home by late morning. Did give us a good opportunity to play double solitaire with a formidable partner though.
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.
