In the ten days that we’ve been at home with Gigi, we’ve been busy getting to know our new camper, furnishing, decorating, and making little mods. Last night we slept there just for the fun of it. The Teardrop camper community calls driveway camping “dramping”! But the weather forecast calls for snow tonight so we thought it prudent to bring out the T@B cover and put the camper under wraps for now.
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.
Enjoy your new toy! Happy Thanksgiving, stay warm! Miss you both!
Happy Thanksgiving.
