Gradually most of the family members who have gathered in Zephyrhills have headed home. There have been so many goodbye hugs over the last day and a half. But four of us have lingered. Lou and we two spent a good amount of today helping Mother and Dad sort through items in the barn and load some stuff onto the trailer for a trip to the dump. We finished up the day with a wonderful lasagna dinner for six in the dining room complete with some of Dad’s Cabernet Sauvignon, a pleasant finish to a fun and productive visit!
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.
