It’s always great fun to have a local guide who can take you to their favorite spots but it’s also fun when they are willing to try out a new place with you. Today at lunchtime we and Sally did just that. We headed to North Peak Brewery. When we saw the sign for Kilkenny’s, Karen’s interest was piqued but they don’t open until 4PM but lunch at North Peak was great. We did Irish coffee along with White Cheddar Ale Soup, salads, and a BBQ wrap. Then we moved on to get some Smoked Whitefish Spread at Burrit’s and “Chocolate Milk” at Saco’s to enjoy on down the road. We spent the afternoon at Sally’s trading iOS and MacOS tips and tricks and enjoying her speedy wifi connection. At dinner time we headed back to the waterfront and Kilkenny’s but instead dined for the second time at North Peak. Good BBQ Ribs and nice local Porter!
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.
