We Recently we replaced our electric drip coffeemaker with a stovetop percolator. It made sense in that the one pot could replace both the tea kettle and the bulky drip machine and we wouldn’t need shore power in order to make ourselves a pot of coffee. Then we realized that supermarkets no longer carry the coarser ground coffee that we used to use in our electric percolator back forty years ago and using a drip grind was yielding a cup of coffee with an inordinate amount of grounds in it. But today we made a great improvement. We found some wrap around coffee filters at the grocery store. We now can make a fine cup of coffee and clean-up is so much simpler!
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.
