This time we aren’t the last to leave Tearstock. Actually we had intended to stay one more day but there’s another group coming in today and Site 1417 is booked. Next week is the Christian music festival Alive and by the looks of the preparations, it’s going to be really big. Then the week after that the bulldozers will come in to set the stage for the major campground renovations that hopefully will be complete by this time next year. We’ve finished packing up after our nine day stay. We’ll drive the loop for some farewell hugs and begin looking forward next year’s Tearstock!
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.
