One of the delights of a multi-day camp stay is the leisure to do more extensive camp cooking. Today we baked some crescent rolls in our collapsible camp oven. This time we did it over our little propane campfire using the cooking rack in an unconventional manner. We also put the oven rack in the highest position. We made nearly perfect crescents. The bottoms were browned nicely! What an improvement over previous attempts! Now on to a day in camp. A lot of laundry, a little organizing, perhaps a nap or two, but no driving!
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.
A quite respectable accomplishment!
