Earlier today it was flurries with temperatures near 40F. It actuaaly was pretty cool to be out pacing the deck, racking up active minutes on the FitBit while snowflakes gently fell. Now it’s more a winter mix. Actually it seems more like small hailstones! A good time to be indoors scanning old documents and memorabilia, dancing in the living room, enjoying ambience of the gas fireplace, and contemplating what to make for dinner.
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. 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.
