One of the major activities at Tearstock is the sharing of information about the care and feeding of our cute little teardrop campers. A wealth of knowledge is shared on a continuous and informal basis all week long. This afternoon it got formal. An Ask the Tech session was scheduled at 1PM out in the middle of the very sunny, treeless circle. It actually got underway around 2PM. We sat in a great circle trying to shade ourselves with umbrellas and take notes while Marvin talked about the maintenance. After that many of us gathered under the shade of Mike’s awning for a discussion about winterizing our rigs. There had been thought of also talking about gadgets but the heat had us all exhausted so we adjourned to our individual campsites for siesta.
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.
