Last night when we were chatting with Laura, we mentioned how much we enjoy Johnson Estate Wines in Westfield, New York and she agreed, especially their Red and White Ipocras, spiced wines. It’s the oldest farm winery in New York State. We’ve visited a few times since we first discovered this place in 2013. Today we stopped to acquire some White Ipocras as well as sample some Cherry wine. In the process we had a delightful conversation with Matthew about the hundred year history of this family fruit farm turned vineyard and award winning winery.
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.
