It was so pleasant to awaken to bird calls a this reflective scene this morning. So pleasant and so calm. Then the peace was interrupted by a wild and furious thunderstorm with high winds. We fared quite well due to our ability to learn from previous experiences. Following the storm we did some mopping up and post-event evaluation. The rain is finished, the birds are singing, and we are even better prepared for the next storm!
Forecasters are predicting your preparations will be tested. Fortunately, the storms are short lived so you can still enjoy nature ,the company of neighbors, and your local wanderings.
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.
