Back in another lifetime, Lou and Karen’s brother Michael lived in this coastal town. He was tickled by the Victorian architecture and the local brewery back before microbreweries were ubiquitous. Today we found some on street parking for the T@B so we could do a bit of a walk about. Lou found a gift shop that had a selection of crystals. Steve succeeded in locating a geocache. Karen delighted in looking for offbeat photos. We all lived the pastries and coffee at Los Bagels, a Jewish-Mexican shop!
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.
