A few experiences last year made us realize that our 2004 Canon EOS 20D is a bit dated. Therefore we have been talking for a while about making the move to a mirrorless camera which would be lighter, more compact, and more advanced than the fabulous workhorse we’ve been using this past many years. Today we ventured to Waynesville and sought the expertise of Skip at Best Buy. With his guidance we went ahead and bit the bullet. We’re now owners of a Sony A5100. We excited but aware that there is a huge learning curve ahead of us. Our late friend Gary was a major inspiration in this decision. We like to think he would approve.
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.
