When we chose to arrive early at Winklepleck for the üCamp18 rally we were aware that there would be other events happening on the grounds over the weekend but thought that since our campsite was at the far end of the park that we would not be in the way. Turns out we were located on the third base line for Friday night’s baseball game. It’s an annual event for the members of a local church community. It was easy enough for us to just move our 400 several feet to the south especially with the assistance of our friends Elsie and Sarah and several of their family and friends. Then several other members of the community drifted over, toured Amanda’s and our trailers, and lingered to visit a while. It was a beautiful summer evening!
What a wonderful way to start the uCamp fun! No you can always tell Karen you “got to third base…!” wink
Can’t wait to see you all and tell Amanda we want to hear her latest method for securing a canopy…
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.
