Queen Mary 2 Day 6

April 12th At Sea How could it be day 6 already? Things are going by way too fast. When people ask what on earth do we do on a ship for 23 days, there are so many things to tell them. There is simply so much going on, there really isn’t any time to get bored. With...

Queen Mary 2 Day 5

At Sea Ah, I love sea days. I am not sure we actually did anything all day. We went to check in on Homer Simpson to make sure he was still there. Yes he was, although he is definitely fading over the years. I did make it to the craft session. We did silk painting....

Queen Mary 2 Day 4

Walvis Bay There were no additional chocolate bunnies in our room in the morning. This could be related to the fact that one of the large bunnies mysteriously disappeared during the night. Despite leaving Cape Town 5 hours late, we were able to make up most of the...

Queen Mary 2 Day 3

In the middle of the night I could feel the gentle movement of the ship. Previously when sailing from Cape Town,  the first night out was like sailing through the Bay of Biscay. The Cape rollers  caused the ship to pitch and roll, it was always a rough crossing....

Queen Mary 2 Day 2

Cape Town We had breakfast in the Kings Court, looking out over the Victoria and Alfred Waterfront. In the Kings Court you no longer serve yourself, the waiters serve you. I actually quite like this, I think it’s better than using the same serving utensils that...

Queen Mary 2 Day 1

Cape Town The flight to a very rainy Cape Town went smoothly. We had had to check our carry-on bags, but all of our luggage made it there. We took a taxi to the Mount Nelson Hotel for check in for Queen Mary2. It was about 4:00 PM by the time we reached the hotel....

Kambaku Day 5

Our last morning here. This really has been the most wonderful lodge. Idube was nice, and the leopard sightings were amazing, but I have totally fallen in love with Kambaku and the Timbavati reserve. I had such mixed feelings as I tried to finish packing our...

Kambaku Day 4

We woke up at sunrise. I had apparently slept through the hyenas calling, and neither of us heard the lions. We took some photos of the hide, Brian made himself some coffee, and we sat in the swing chairs watching a couple of hippos return home to the dam. It was...

Kambako Day 3

We started off the morning tracking a lioness, but her tracks disappeared into the thick bush, so we lost her. Then looking up at a nearby ridge, we saw a couple of elephants, so we thought we would stop by and see what they were up to. After a very bumpy drive we...

Kambaku Day 2

They do things early here – wake up is at 5:00! No phones though, our guide, Phanuel,  comes to our door and says “knock knock”. Much better. It was just the 2 of us on our game drive again, which was great. Phanuel had heard that there were wild dogs in the area...

Idube Day 4/Kambaku Day 1

Our final game drive at Idube was great. No rain today, and lots of animals. We had our final morning tea break at one of the many dams. Then it was time to finish packing, and say a fond farewell to our friends. I wish they were able to join us at Kambaku. Our...
