It was a morning of hugs and goodbyes as we exchanged contact information, offered moochdocking opportunities, and bid friends safe travels. The rest of us then gathered under the picnic shelter where we were joined by Jenn, an intrepid T@B traveler who’d not been able to join us for the week but came for a day trip. The long standing tradition of all going out together for The Leftovers Dinner was modified this year. We decided we’d rather share our leftover beverages and snacks then send out for Park Street Pizza. And our newest nüCamp Ambassadors, Michael and Jeff offered to treat us! It was a gentle relaxing fun day made even sweeter with a homemade Fresh Peach Dessert compliments of Elsie and Sarah. Looks like we might have a new twist on a tradition begun in 2013!
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.
Hope you got the Peach desert recipe – it looks good!
