The weather this afternoon has been perfect for shorts and sandals and a trip to the beach where we felt like the lyrics of Knee Deep, the Zac Brown song, “Only worry in the world is the tide gonna reach my chair.” Totally relaxing!
How lovely! I do love the difference between the coastal areas, nice waves on the east coast, but you can walk out sometimes 1/4 of a mile on the west coast if the tide is right.
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.
How lovely! I do love the difference between the coastal areas, nice waves on the east coast, but you can walk out sometimes 1/4 of a mile on the west coast if the tide is right.

As long as there is sun, sand, surf, a a breeze, it’s a glorious beach day!
