Wednesday night is movie night at Tearstock, weather permitting, utilizing the giant inflatable screen at Atwood Park. Tonight weather did not permit. We had actually opted to skip the movie in favor of visiting with Doug & Mia. We could hear the movie in the background and then the audio stopped and folks started streaming back to their campsites. We checked the radar then went back to secure our site while Doug & Mia secured theirs. Now we’re headed back to finish our visit with them around the table in their T@B and hope the storm skirts us as it looks it might.
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.
Stay safe and dry!
