After a pleasant rainy morning at home with Michael and Emily we ventured out for a trip to town mid-afternoon. First stop was to Heinzelmännchen, our Gnome Town Brewery for a flight of local brews and a glass of root beer. Then on to the bridge between the parks for an unsuccessful geosearch under said bridge. We’re not truly trolls nor did we encounter any. From here we’ll stop at Eric’s Fish Market then head back to Tween Creeks for dinner on the deck.
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.
