Today started out as a quiet day in the campground with Amanda in the campsite next door. We shared a breakfast of Eggs and Low-Carb Corned Beef Hash prepared in our Hot Logic Mini Oven and Crispy Pork Belly fried up on her Dash Express Griddle before busying ourselves getting our trailers organized for the upcoming summer travel season. Suddenly the focus of the day was shifted when she asked where we’d gotten our GO Berkey Water Filter. Within minutes we three had piled into her truck and headed off to Lehman’s Flagship Store in nearby Kidron, Ohio. With a history that traces back to 1955, Lehman’s is dedicated to serving the community with often difficult to find items useful for off-grid living. Often when we are in the area we browse this store in search of items that work well in our tiny trailer. Today we found a delightful little battery operated LED lantern that will up our glamping ambience a notch and Amanda learned that they have the GO Berkey filter on order and she’ll be able to bag one in June when she’s here for üCamp21.
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 pleasant day that was!!
We so enjoyed catching up with you guys the other night. Amanda: sending you hugs!
