With only a two hour drive to our next destination we’ve plenty of time for a detour and a couple of stops along the way. It’s not such a long way to Tipperary and Dunmanway, along the route seemed a promising place to find some postal stamps and some nourishment. We used the car park at the square then got directions from Ann in the hardware store. Patti stood in the queue at the postal window at the Eurospar while the rest of us wandered the grocery aisles. With all of our postcards stamped and deposited into the iconic green post box in the center of the square, we spotted Mirabelle’s where Des O’Meara and crew who served us coffee while we perused The Irish Times and they prepared our Full Irish Breakfast! Yum! We’re fortified and ready for whatever comes next!
I suspect you will be subjected to tales of our trip at family gatherings for years to come. Meanwhile you are certainly stacking up some wonderful tales from your stay in Germany.
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.
I am thoroughly enjoying your posts. It was obviously a beautiful trip and I know you will have stories to tell for a long time. I want to hear them.
