It’s one of those times we just need to be alone with our thoughts. Geneva State Park is serving us well in that regard. It’s mid-week and there are few fellow campers. The sites are spacious and nicely wooded. We’ve done the laundry, finally sifted through the mail we got last week, and defrosted the freezer. We sought assistance with a problem with the Alde but with the help of friends at nüCamp we’re now good to go. We’ve done more set up than we have all summer with the canopy and the tablecloth and the coffee table! Tonight was grill night so besides having a delicious steak dinner, the fridge is stocked with cooked goodies more several more meals. Tomorrow we’ll run a few errands but spend a lot of time just chilling.
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.
So glad you are taking some down time to “just be”. It’s been an emotional 20 months for you, so chill out and enjoy.
