It’s the annual Bella Vista craft fair extravaganza weekend and we have Sharon and Mike as our personal guides. First stop was the annual Methodist Men Pancake Day. What a fun community event. Excellent pancakes and accompaniments served with a sense of fun. We made a trip to the Mildred B. Cooper Memorial Chapel, a most inspirational spot and found a geocache too! Think Mike and Sharon might just have caught the geocaching bug! Then we headed to Spanker Creek Farm for their arts, crafts, and more festival. We’ve made a couple of purchases, snacked on loaded grilled potatoes and funnel cakes and are now pausing to catch our breath even as the shopping continues around us.
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.
