Wow, that was quite a blow! We set up last night under windy conditions and the blusteriness continued until after midnight. It buffeted the tent, rocked the T@B, and sent some cottonwood branches flying. Other than some frayed nerves and a tiny hole in the tent we sustained no damage. The morning weather was downright pleasant as we prepared breakfast, pulled up stakes, folded the tent, hitched the T@B to the truck and made ready to travel westward through the golden hills of Oregon.
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.

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.
