It’s been a cold week with lows in the high teens and highs in the low forties. The forecasters told us to expect this. They also warned us to expect snow. Today we got the cold misty rain. All day long. We were living inside a cloud. Maybe it was snow at the higher elevations but for us it is just a misty cold rain. Makes us want to do indoor activities, not stuff like cleaning out the gutters! But at least it’s not snow!
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.
