Last year as we began planning for a new camper and a great long rambling trip this summer we also planned for activities in the campsite. Santa gave Karen a folding spinning wheel and Steve brushed up on his whittling skills. Today we carried through on that part of the plan. We set up camp again at Kings Mountain State Park. We’re hoping that the refrigerator for the camper will be installed tomorrow. But this afternoon as we waited for the ranger to make his rounds we sat down to soothing activities. Steve’s bear is progressing and Karen has finally gotten her hands into some roving that fiber friends of hers obtained at a fiber event back in June. It’s good!
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.
