One of the things we appreciate about the location of nüCamp is it’s proximity to our son’s home. Back in September when we agreed to do the beta test in mid-December we were excited about the fact that we could couple it with a Christmas visit with Dave and his daughters. After lunch in Sugarcreek we drove a few miles further north to join Dave on his first day of his staycation. There’s plenty of evidence of last week’s snow here! We celebrated with a trip out for Phở, a wonderful way to warm our tummies as we begin this longest night of the year. A cup of hot chocolate for the ride home isn’t a bad idea either!
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.
