It’s been a glorious eight night stay here at Winklepleck. From the time we arrived until last night we, and all the T@B-400 owners were giving tours multiple times a day every day. It was a blast! And we made some wonderful new friends. That said, we are looking forward to more 400s at next year’s event. It’ll be good to spread the joy, and to have time to relax with old friends. Now as we say goodbye to Site 20B we are passing the Sole Survivor baton to David & Gisele who will be the last üCamp17 campers this year, as we were at the gathering at Atwood in years past.
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.
