We’re taking the opportunity while we are parked in the driveway at Tween Creeks to put our electrical system through its paces. We’ve disconnected from shore power and run off of battery overnight then today we’ve had the solar panels out all day. We managed to collect enough to generate 20 aH in about five hours today. If need be we can always top off the battery with the Honda generator. Looks like we’ll be in good shape on the road!

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.
