We and Bill are FitBit Buddies and he is consistently logging more steps than either than us. Today we participated in his secret strategy. We walked to the local coffee shop. It was only 4.4 miles each way! We two have now racked up another achievement, a 20K step day. By day’s end it may be a 10 mile day. It was a pleasant walk in a beautiful day and had the bonus of coffee with friends in between the two segments.
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.
