When we booked our site here at TimberCrest we asked to be near friends that we knew would be staying here this weekend. Jasper arrived Friday and we’ve enjoyed time with him late last night and today including a delightful trip to Baltic Mill Winery where we savored some local meats and cheeses alongside some Strawberry Blonde wine before touring the historic mill. Back at TimberCrest we welcomed Jeff and Michael. After lots of conversation and a T@B-400 tour the party moved to Park Street Pizza for some amazing pizza and lots more great conversation. The üCamp17 week hasn’t yet begun and already its off to a great start!
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.
