The Southeast Asian Restaurant in Sylva Plaza has been open but a few weeks. They have just a few menu items but luckily Phở is one. We made plans a few days back to rendezvous with Mary and Stan here tonight without knowing at the time that the weather would be so cold and nasty. Itnever quite turned to snow where we were but it did at higher elevations including at Stan and Mary’s house near Balsam. It was a great night to fill our bellies with the wonderfulness of this Vietnamese noodle soup! So good to have Phở here in our corner of WNC!
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.
