The few bites we took of light breakfast with our coffee/tea this morning was not meant to hold us long. On our way south into Ennistimon we consulted Yelp! for an eatery offering Black Pudding. Black and White Puddings as well as Irish Bacon are components of a traditional Irish Breakfast. Alice discovered the puddings on her last trip to Ireland and Karen developed as taste in Dorchester, the traditionally Irish neighborhood in Boston. We picked out Ginger Lou’s on Yelp! and arrived at Foodies Corner. We all agreed it was the best breakfast yet, the tastiest sausages as well as delectable puddings. Nicely fortified, we’re ready to explore County Clare a bit!
“A full Irish Breakfast” was a favorite meal to search for and enjoy on our trip. Some pubs and cafes advertised that it was available all day. Now we know and appreciate what a rasher of bacon is.
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.

And that Irish Bacon is so much meatier than the bacon we have always known!
