Today’s the day, the official check-in and kick-off for üCamp18! Over the last few days more than a dozen of us arrived early and settled in. Those of us with previous üCamp experience helped others find their place within Winklepleck and when needed guided newbies through the set-up procedure. Today more than a hundred fifty teardrops arrived ready for a week of festivities. The two of us have been busy today greeting friends from teardrop rallies past and meeting new friends, and helping where needed. Now it’s time to get ready to head across the street to Glenhaven to sample local wines and cheeses and to hobnob with fellow campers!
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.
