Sugarcreek called us back again. Turns out our 400 needed one more tweak. We’re camped tonight in one of the nüCamp courtesy sites. Tomorrow we’ll turn our baby over to Marvin for a battery change out then we’ll be on our way. For now though it’s glorious to watch the sun dance on the fields behind the factory, to walk among the teardrops and truck campers awaiting delivery, and to converse for a few minutes with Pat, one of the transport drivers.
Definitely a map. We’re on the lookout for one. Checking every camp store we encounter. No decision yet on a visor/awning/tent. They are just now becoming available for the 400 and we’re still determining what we need in a side shelter.
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.
I hope the 400 is now all set for her first full season. Will she be building a map as her predecessors have done, and has the awning arrived?
Future posts indicate yes for the map, no on the awning.
