John arrived not long after the rain stopped. He showed us around parts of the cabin and places on the property that we’d not yet explored. We helped feed the fish on the pond and harvested vegetables in the garden. John pan fried some locally caught fish to accompany the garden fresh corn, green beans, cucumbers, and tomatoes and we talked about possible adventures tomorrow. Late in the evening we had a visit from Rhonda and her friend Jim and gave then a tour of the T@B. This is where John loves to be. He spends his weekends here and glories in being in this environment. It’s good to be here with him!
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.
