It’s spookily quiet around here this evening. Atwood Lake Group Camping has been such an incredibly busy hive of activity all week and now it’s quiet. Everyone has left for home or for further travels. But even in this void we feel so much richer for the experience. We’ve learned so much, had so much fun, met so many new friends and deepened other friendships. To you, our Tearstock Friends, may your adventures be rich and many. We truly look forward to our next rendezvous, at Tearstock 2016 or sooner!
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.
