About ten last night we completed our journey to Linus’ house. Delightfully, Greg was waiting for us with a water bottle filled with dry cider as we exited the T station! After a good night’s sleep and some playtime and book reading with Linus, seven of us are bundled along with our luggage and lots of Thanksgiving goodies into two cars for our journey to Cape Cod and a multi day house party with lots of family!
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.
