What a enchanting evening. We basked in the relaxing atmosphere of Ten Thousand Waves Japanese Spa. If you’ve never experienced it, put it on your list. We enjoyed a soak in the Kobuta, one of their wooden hot tubs. We attempted the cold plunge but neither of us succeeded in immersing our body in that chilly water. We continued the mood on this beautiful evening by lingering on the property and enjoying some green tea, a couple of little plates, and some luscious desserts at Izanami. I’d been more than six years since we have been here. We don’t ever want to wait that long again!
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.
