Heading to Boston via US-20 we passed through Sturbridge, Massachusetts and couldn’t help but think of that one line in James Taylor’s Sweet Baby James so we queued it up and listened to the song. Just before leaving the US highway we paused for refreshment. We’re headed into Dorchester, the birthplace of William Rosenberg of Dunkin’ Donuts so it just seemed appropriate to stop. Contrary to our usual plan, we opted to get breakfast wraps instead of Boston Creme donuts to go with our coffee. Dunkin’comfort is always welcomed.
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.
