Not quite as case of “What! Meatloaf again?” But definitely a case of enjoying the remnants of the Deck Day feast. We’re finally winding down. With Mary’s help we cleaned out the refrigerator this morning. In between raindrops we grilled the last of the sausages this evening. There are a few things for the freezer but by and large from this point forward the tastes of Deck Day are behind us again. One exception is a supply of Matt’s BBQ Sauce. Yum!
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.
