| Rwanda - 24 June 1966 |
The Volcanoes National Park in Rwanda borders National Parks in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda. It is the home of mountain gorillas and golden monkeys and was a base for Dian Fossey. The five volcanoes in the park are five of the eight in the Virunga range - Karisimbi, Bisoke, Muhabura, Gahinga, Subyinyo - but I don't know which one is depicted on the stamp.

I'm sure you will all recognise the Viking ship. One from Norway stands on our mantle piece.
Although we get cats in our garden, none match this -

If you look closely you can see its Latin name is Viverra zibertha.

Love the civet's stripes and your Viking ship.
Great stamps today. I've always found viking culture fascinating, and I have visited the national park where the gorillas live, only from the Rwandan side though.
I always enjoy stopping by to see your posts and this Viking ship is a real nice treat too!
Yes, your Norwegian Viking ship is pretty cool. The Swedish version is interesting with its sail (looks like it is unravelling?)
So this is the cat whose poop makes such great coffee, eh?!
The sail of the viking ship caught my eye. It seems to be knitted!
