Saturday night Lynda and Ben arrived bearing bottles of red wine. As we prepared to open the Bordeaux, we were chagrined to discover that we couldn’t find the corkscrew that we “knew” we had in the kitchen drawer. We prevailed upon the good graces of a neighboring camper twice that evening to pull corks for us, On Sunday we addressed this deficiency and purchased a new corkscrew. Today we found the one we actually did have in the kitchen drawer! So we have gone from having “zero” corkscrews to having one too many!
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.
Been there. Something mysterious about drawers.
One for red, one for white! Now you need a 3rd for Grenache, but Champagne requires no cork pull, so you can stop at 3!
