To while away the morning, we’ve gone in search of geocaches. We found one near the Cuckoo and one each in two different cemeteries. We failed to find one at the covered bridge but did see some Amish buggies! The weather has gone from overcast and chilly to drizzly and cold. Time to find a cuppa something warm.
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.
After lunch we found two more caches, one at a small town war memorial and another just outside a gift shop. A nice way to pass some time despite the chilly damp weather.
