Downtown Hazelwood, we discovered it during Mary’s post-Deck Day visit. Lunch at Bourbon Barrel Beef & Ale and decadent pastries at Nettie’s Bakery. Yum! Today the two of us returned for lunch at the Barrel. A Classic Reuben accompanied by a chilled Potato Leek Soup and Ribeye Philly with a side salad of greens and fruit. With a bit of willpower we managed to walk past the bakery but it wasn’t easy!
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.
