The call came while we were enjoying a cup of decaf at Wallhouse. It was Marvin with the news that our T@B was ready to pick up. We headed that way right away and found Marvin waiting for us in the parking lot. Gigi II is better than new! The guys did a beautiful job of installing the digital ALDE thermostat and the IKEA racks as well as fixing a couple more items. While we were there we got to visit with Ed who gave us the opportunity to tour the new truck camper and get a look at the shiny new Pleasant Valley factory filled with campers under construction. We always enjoy the chance to hang out with the good guys here!
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.
