Trying to find a restaurant for a birthday dinner turned into an adventure in and of itself. It wasn’t until the third try that we found folks we really wanted to serve us. For a while it seemed as if the answer to Paul Mc Cartney’s query, “Will you still feed me, when I’m sixty-four?” might be the wrong one. But then we found a treasure, Chimney Tree Grill and their delicious meatloaf sandwiches with grilled onions. We topped that off with vanilla soft serve. Just the right touch for a birthday in the woods! And of course we visited The Chimney Tree next door.
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.
