It’s amazing how much we depend on the copper wire that provides us a DSL connection to the internet and to Verizon cellular system. Mother Nature took it out late Saturday night with a lightning strike on our neighbors’ property. Once we figured out why we didn’t have service we called Frontier yesterday. They expedited dispatch of a technician who was able to readily discover and remedy the problem. We’re reconnected!
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.
So ends the rest stop on the information highway.
Yes, all good things must come to an end.
