Tween Creeks welcomed us this afternoon to the beauty of winter in the mountains! So different from the Caribbean or even the Florida Suncoast! It’s going to be good to settle into our little cocoon and enjoy some solitude for a while. We’ll put up our feet for a day or so then get busy on the projects we have lined up for the coming months. But that won’t preclude a few little trips this winter and spring to keep us from developing cabin fever!
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.
