Ever since the morning an Easter Bunny brought Nerf weapons to our granddaughters, a fun filled Nerf battle is one of the delights of a visit to Canton. This evening it was an interlude between a dinner of delivery pizza and a movie. Back in July we made a pinky promise with the girls that they’d watch Star Wars: The Force Awakens with us on our next visit. This evening we all gathered in the living room and allowed ourselves to be transported to a galaxy far far away.
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.
