We arrived at Noccalula Falls, set up, made coffe, gave a tour of the T@B, then as we settled into our chairs and checked the weather app we made a quick decision to fold and stow the chairs and seek shelter inside the trailer. Moments later the sky opened, lightning flashed, thunder cracked, rain fell in torrents. Fortunately we got very little hail and the storm cell passed quickly. It was good to be inside!
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.
Yes, there are times to hunker down! Stay safe
Thank goodness you have Gigi to take shelter within and not just a tent. Stay safe.
You are getting our rain from last week…but sunny here now!!!!
We only had 9 inches from Friday the 23rd to Saturday the 30th.
From the looks of the radar map this morning, it looks like Greg, Rachel, and Linus got to enjoy it also!
