Yesterday afternoon we pulled into the community of El Dorado at Santa Fe and parked our T@B in Bill’s driveway for a weekend visit. We enjoyed the patio and libations with Bill as daylight began to wane then were happy recipients of a delicious home cooked spaghetti dinner. Bill introduced us to a mystery series on Netflix and we watched the first episode of Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries. We made some plans for the weekend eschewing the balloon fiesta since we’d all had fabulous experiences in years past and may well do so again but desire calmer more relaxing activities this time. This morning we two have enjoyed an opportunity to get a few projects done while enjoying being outside under fabulous blue skies and just a hint of a breeze.
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.
