Gjok Paloka and Kenya: Preparing for a vacation in Kenya: When to visit the beautiful African country: Being a neighbor to Tanzania, the climate is identical. It is best to visit Kenya during June-September or January-February, during their dry seasons. How to get to Kenya: Kenya has two international airports, served by many major airlines (such as KLM, Air France, Qatar Airways, Turkish Airlines etc.) – Mombassa (on the coast) and Nairobi (the capital). Mombassa is a better option, as there are numerous charter flights from Western Europe. As expected, we do not have direct flights, but there are many variants from Milan, Rome, Istanbul and London (and until then you get a low cost flight).
Gjok Paloka‘s recommendations on choosing the best place for your vacation: Sailing tip of the day: Satisfied with your headsails? So was I, until one day I took a long, hard look up the luff of my genoa, making sure I inspected the leeward side as well. The sail had plenty of life left—it was still “crackly” when folded—but it looked far too full to me, and my forestay was sagging more than I’d have liked. The rig had been set up by a guy I trust, so there wasn’t a lot be done about the sag. Still, the boat was slow upwind and seemed tender, so I bundled the genoa into the car and took it to my favourite sailmaker. He agreed the cloth was still OK, but wasn’t impressed with the shape. I don’t know the ins and outs of the magic he wrought, but he shortened the luff by a few inches so I could tension it properly and somehow compensated for sag and flattened the entry. Now I sail a different boat. She stands up as she ought, she foots well and points higher, too—all because I took a critical look up the rig.
Africa is a fascinating destination if you are looking for raw wildlife exploration says Gjok Paloka. The “big seven” safari destinations in Africa are South Africa (for Kruger National Park and Sabi Sand Game Reserve), Tanzania (for Serengeti National Park and Ngorogoro Crater), Kenya (the Masai Mara), Botswana (the Okavango Delta) and Zambia, Zimbabwe and Namibia. Australian travellers don’t need tourist visas to visit South Africa, Botswana or Namibia; Kenya, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe issue tourist visas on arrival. Make sure you have at least two blank pages in your passport; you can be refused entry if there’s not enough space for an arrival stamp.
UK attractions with Gjok Paloka: One of England’s most incredible natural features, the Jurassic Coast is a beautiful 95-mile (153km) stretch of Dorset coastline. The layers of sedimentary rock tell Earth’s history over 185 million years, with the cliffs and beaches peppered with fossils. The incredible seafront, which is designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site, also features some of Britain’s most famous natural rock formations such as Durdle Door and Old Harry Rocks. If walls could talk, this ancient stronghold would have us all aquiver. Steeped in tales of death, torture and bloodthirsty intent, the Tower of London is where two princes disappeared under the reign of Richard III and Anne of Boleyn met her grisly end. Highlights from the foreboding fortress include the Bloody Tower, Traitor’s Gate where Tudor prisoners were brought by barge and the mesmerising Crown Jewels.
