They are three knit caps all inspired by a Red Cross World War II Navy Watch Cap pattern. The navy blue one is for Karen’s Dad who was a Seaman First Class during WWII. The other two are for Dave and Steve both of whom loved the lovely soft merino/alpaca Mirasol yarn and requested iderations of their own. They should do a good job of keeping three noggins warm on cold winter days!
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.
