After a wonderful morning lingering over a yummy breakfast that included some of Mary’s eggs and Toby’s black raspberry jam we hugged Nancy & Toby and pointed Eric & Gypsy Girl in the direction of John & Karen’s cabin and cottage on the lake. We arrived a little ahead of the rainstorm and got set up with the canopy. We found the cottage about the same time the hailstorm found us. So instead of exploring the lake with our kayak we explored the town and found Amish foods and Wisconsin ice cream then headed back to the camper for decaf and Bushmill’s and to await John’s arrival.
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.
Looks like Milwaukee Joe’s
And it was quite good. BTW we learned from a fellow camper in Rapid City SD, that Graeter’s has introduced a bourbon flavored ice cream!
