Spent the evening on Treasure Island. We met friend Ed at Sloppy Joe’s at the Bilmar. Draft beer and the classic Sloppy Joe sandwich. Yum! Then on to Woo Woo’s Tkik Hut. Danced in the sand to “Sea Cruise”. Ed offered to take pictures of a group of tourists then posed with them for more pictures. From there we proceeded to his digs and got to meet the gargoyles that protect his impressive paperback treasures!
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.
