This afternoon’s adventures brought us to a Bragg Farm, an eight generation family Vermont maple farm and sugarhouse. Although it’s not maple syrup season, we were still invited to tour the sugar house and to see a video that vastly expanded our knowledge of maple syrup production. Of course we also purchased some maple syrup, maple cream, and a maple creamee! And as members of Harvest Hosts we were welcome to park our T@B behind the sugar house which gave us a glorious view of tonight’s full moon!
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.
