Our next door neighbor arrived yesterday evening and we got to meet Patrick, Patty, and Truman of Travels with Delaney fame live and in person. We’ve been following their video blog since shortly after they purchased their T@B 400 in late December. We’d corresponded a bit but hadn’t yet met. They are as delightful in person as they are on their vlog and Truman, their Cavalier King Charles Spaniel puppy is even cuter in person. He was so excited to greet us through the open window of the camper this morning, so full of life while the rest of us are still trying to wake up. Fortunately there’s Wall House Coffee waiting for us at the pavilion here at Winklepleck!
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.
