Last night the temperature dipped to 29F but the forecast says the freezing weather is behind us for now. Besides that we’re heading south tomorrow so this morning we set up all the water systems. The fact that we are on a full hookups site makes it even easier to put the systems through their paces. And this afternoon we tested the CoolCat heatpump and opened its cabinet to learn how the ducting is set up. After all that fun we took a long walk through this rather large campground with cabins then took a luxurious Saturday afternoon nap. Woke up to this glorious view out the stargazer window above our bed.
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.
Sounds like testing is moving along well!
That is a view I could get used to!
