When Elsie found out that we would be in town she made arrangements for a gathering of her friends that had traveled to and stayed at Tween Creeks in July. We all met up at Charm Family Restaurant and exchanged tales of adventures in Western North Carolina. We told a few tales about our cross country travels. And we made plans to get together again since we expect to be in the area again in December. Hopefully the other Elsie will be home then and able to join the circle. Friends make life so much richer!
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.
