Our friends have hosted us for moochdocking and short term T@B storage behind their Connecticut home a few different times. It’s always a fun opportunity to spend time with them and a secure spot to leave our camper for a few days while we visit family in Boston. When we pulled in yesterday it felt rather routine, we’ve done this more than once before. What was different is that our hosts are out of town. It was a quiet evening on our own. We did take the opportunity to walk to a nearby Chinese takeout in between raindrops then settled in for a quiet evening. Now it’s a sunny Friday morning and we’re packed and ready to head to Boston for a weekend of family fun!
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.
