What fun! It’s the Wine and Cheese party! We all brought a local wine or craft beer from home and sampled some wonderful stuff. DJ Dave set up and played a nice selection of tunes. We did a little dancing but a hit of the party was Gretchen and friends dancing The Electric Slide! That’s now a Tearstock Tradition. Another delight these evenings at Tearstock is meeting the families of these great men who build our trailers. Tonight we talked with Joe and Ina, with Brian and his family, tomorrow Marvin and Ed are bringing their families. We never realized when we bought our Silver Shadow in 2009 that we were becoming a part of such a beautiful community!
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.
