Tonight is the last of four one night stops this week. We stayed here at Big Snow Ski Resort near Wakefield MI last year on a Friday night. That time we were among several Harvest Hosts guests. Tonight we are the lone camper and have a prime spot in the shade with nearby bright sun for our portable solar panels, but there’s a motorcycle rally here all weekend so we’re not alone. As conscientious members, we adhere to the Harvest Hosts Code of Conduct including being a customer so we dined this evening at the Sky Bar, at the top of the ski slopes, with Kate as our delightful server. Dinner was Fried Pickles and Taco Salads washed down by fine Widow Maker Black Ale from the Keweenaw Brewing Company in nearby Houghton MI. Now we’re enjoying the shade and expect to enjoying lingering a bit tomorrow morning since we have only a one hour drive to our next destination. Life is good!
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.
Enjoy the peace and quiet! XOXOX
Well done you guys.
