Once upon a long time ago we would amuse our children with songs and tales of Winnie-the-Pooh and Tigger, too on an LP vinyl that survives to this day. One of the tales involves an attempt by Pooh and friends to lose Tigger in the fog of a misty moisty morning. So as we head out today to dentists appointments and errands on this misty moisty morning, we’re reminded of fun imaginative times with our kids when they were young.
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.
