We’ve been dreaming of it, and planning for it, and negotiating for it. Now, finally we have done it. We’ve ordered a new camper! It’s a T@B Clamshell, a larger teardrop trailer with an exterior kitchen. We’ve specified a few unique modifications including an exterior access door for under-bench storage as well as a larger wardrobe and a bank of drawers in the cabin. Another benefit of ordering it custom is that we can specify the exterior colors (silver and black) and interior upholstery fabric (dark reddish beige). Now we have several weeks to wait impatiently until we can take it on it’s maiden voyage.
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.
