This little house overlooking Bantry Bay is aptly named. Incredible views out of every window. For the first time we had to draw straws for our room assignments! It’s truly the vacation home of someone who loves to share the joy and who loves whimsy. Wallpapered walls are covered in library shelves, or cows, or forest scenes.
One of the themes was The Joy of Tea. Karen announced that her intention was to just make a cup of tea and to sit and enjoy this place forever or at least until her sisters drag her out!
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.

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.
