When we arrived at Greenway Cottage in Dungarvan yesterday afternoon, our hostess Catherine was waiting for us on the sidewalk ready to show us around our home for the night. It’s been a great stay here on the quay. Yesterday was sunny and last evening was perfect weather for a stroll all around the harbor. This morning we’ve got rain as we nosh on a bit of breakfast, clean up after ourselves, and pack the Tiguan for our trip into Dublin today. We did linger for a few minutes before departure to play a couple rounds of multi-handed Solitaire, a family tradition! Greenway is the last of our AirBnB stays. It’s been a great way to experience Ireland.
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.
