If you visit Grand River’s KY, it seems a visit tp Patti’s 1880 Settlement is a must. We were warned we should make reservations but didn’t. Turns out our wait wasn’t too long. An online reservation though would have been quite easy to make. We also were warned about the serving sizes and did pay attention there. We split Patti’s signature entree, The 2″ Pork Chop. After the Fried Dill Pickle appetizer, the salads, and the amazing Flower Pot Bread with Strawberry Butter, we were really grateful we chose to share. There wasn’t room for dessert. No worries. We ordered the Boo Pie to go. We’ve got enough food for another dinner and dessert! The food was fabulous. The service efficient. The decor a bit overdone. The atmosphere noisy. We might return but would try for mid afternoon time slot when perhaps it might not be so busy.
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.
