There are a few things you ought to do once every ten years like get a tetanus booster, check the oil in your Hunter ceiling fan, and renew your passports. Our Hunter fan is only four years old, we got our tetanus shots in ’10, but this is the year our passports would expire so in between our trip to Florida and our foray to Massachusetts we got our mug shots, filled out the forms, wrote the requisite checks and sent off our renewal applications. Today when we picked up or mail there they were – our new passports! We’re good to go for our winter cruise to the Caribbean!
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.
