It was Cherry Bounce that brought us back to Linville Falls Winery. Last time we were here we had to stop back by to get two more bottles of George Washington’s favorite. This time we got to meet the founder, Jack Wiseman, and taste a white blend he is developing. Like last time we really enjoyed the camaraderie cultivated this time by our hostess, Teddy. Then we enjoyed a visit out on the patio with Linda & Gary with whom we have a lot in common. And besides some Cherry Bounce, we came away with some Strawberry Stover and some Mountain White!
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.
