It’s a day for some of the quintessential tastes of Cincinnati. This morning we shopped Kroger (a Cincinnati grocery chain) and got some Skyline Chili (a Cincinnati specialty) and some Glier’s Goetta (Okay, it’s true our Cincinnati born and bred mothers both always made goetta from scratch but the commercial variety is good too!) Then after lunch at Hyde Park we went with Aunt Mary to Graeter’s. All three of us indulged in some Black Raspberry Chip topped with Bittersweet. We were going to be good and have just one scoop until our very personable server Jenn convinced us that we really wanted two scoops each!
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.
