It’s been two and a half years in the planning but we finally made it to a Sunday night dance in Madison, Wisconsin! We first meet members of this dance community as we were boarding the Norwegian Star in Tampa in January 2012. According to a pre-arrangement, they asked “Will there be much dancing on this ship?” in the week that followed we had so much fun together that we knew we wanted to visit them in Madison and now we have finally joined them for a Sunday night dance!
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.
