As we prepare to take our leave of the U.P., it’s necessary that we make sure we partake of a quintessentially U.P. delicacy, the Pastie. This delicious complete meal in one neat pastry package pays tribute to the highly skilled hard rock miners from Cornwall England who came to work the copper mines in these parts, we’re not far from the Nonesuch or Old Victoria, and their wives who would prepare and pack these hearty meals in the miners’ lunch tins to heat over a candle and eat in the darkness of the mine at midday. Syl’s Cafe in Ontonagon, Michigan gets around the rutabaga or potato issue by including both. We ordered the mini version which was more than enough. But we still found a little room to share Syl’s Oreo Brownie Hot Fudge Sundae.
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.

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.
