For the better part of three months Sc@rlett has been looking forward to her scheduled day at the spa. This morning at 8 AM we turned her over to Austin and crew at the nüCamp Repair Shop for a some minor repairs and a couple of upgrades. While she was being pampered we took her faithful tow vehicle, Eric the Red, to Lahm Motors in Sugarcreek for his own bit of pampering, an oil change and safety check with Kyle. We spent part of the day at the nüCamp offices hobnobbing with Creed and even spirited Julie out to lunch at Bag’s. By day’s end Sc@rlett was sporting some new shiny parts under Wendell’s care and Eric could brag on a clean bill of health. We celebrated at Pig Heaven in Dover with Elsie and Sarah and followed up with a bit of indulgence at Miller’s Creamery in downtown Dover.
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.
What a fun day! I love Sugarcreek and the NüCamp people!
It’s always a treat to visit the factory and all our friends there.
