Somehow Wytheville, near the intersection of I-77 and I-81 has become a convenient stopping place in our travels. We’re at the KOA here again as we trek south in search of warmer weather so we can de-winterize and put the 400 through her paces. Yesterday we delighted at being able to just pop into the T@B to make sandwiches then eat lunch at the dinette table. Last night we arrived at nightfall. After an easy setup, we prepared a simple supper then hunkered in for the evening. We set up the laptop on the kitchen counter, converted the dinette to a lounge and spent the evening immersed in documentaries about the life of FDR. It was a pleasant way to spend a cold evening! Now it’s time to decamp and head for warmer climes!
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.
The beta matches Eric the Red nicely. Happy testing!
