Long about midafternoon Greg floated the proposal that we four make our way to Hot Chocolate Sparrow, a landmark coffee house nearby. Thus sustained with hot beverages and sweet treats we headed off on foot to explore the local bookstore, meander past a historic burying ground, and seek a geocache. A chilly gray day is a wonderful time to explore a tourist town without all the summer folks!
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.

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.
