To celebrate Steve’s birthday today, we headed into town. We ran a few fun errands in Sylva. We stopped by Bryson’s to collect the proceeds from the sale of our Morsø wood stove. At Harry Alter Rare Books we sold some early 20th Century Books then stopped by Friends of the Library and donated a few more books. At Livingston’s we bartered some vintage photo equipment for an art framing. Then on to Waynesville and a yummy lunch at Bourbon Barrel Beef and dessert at Jack the Dipper!
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.
