Arrived after dark last night to The Great Divide, what seemed to be an empty campground. Awakened this morning to discover that there was one other camper set up nearby – another T@B! Got talking to the owners, Gid and Terry, and discovered that we had met them at Tearstock in August. Theirs is a Dutchman T@B named Rosie that they call their “T@bIn in the Woods”. They are continually modifying it. They have cabinetry similar to ours in the forward of the cabin. Now they are planning to modify the kitchen to accommodate a Norcold chest style refrigerator. We spent a good part of the morning swapping stories and trading camping tips. Who would have guessed we would find T@B friends here in the woods in New Jersey!
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.
