Our friends Sarah and Elsie invited the two of us and Amanda to savor the sunset and to share a dinner with them. What a treat! We relished the relaxation and the quiet thoughtful conversation. After an amazing but crazy afternoon getting set up at least part of the way, giving lots of T@B-400 tours, and helping others get situated at Winklepleck we loved the opportunity to just enjoy the pastoral view from our friends’ porch. We watched hummingbirds , cows and horses, bunnies, and a frog. And ate a most delicious dinner. Everything was wonderful but the Cornbread Salad was the most amazing of all.
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.
