Sometimes the easiest way to get in some aerobic activity on a crisp cold day at Tween Creeks is to bundle up and head out to walk circuits on the deck. (Guess that’s another good reason besides Deck Day to have a seventy foot long deck!) Some ear buds and an audio book or some tunes can help keep the mind active while the feet keep the FitBit happy. Today the ear buds provided the opportunity for a nice conversation with a friend while weathering temperatures in the thirties!
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.
