The weather is still blowing through and but tomorrow the forecast is for better things. So we have decided to have one more evening of carnival and head off to the Club Nautico for another shot of the local music.
 
Today has been taken up with shopping, probably got enough food for there and back now, giving Monica a face lift, the squid a shorter line and chilling out.
 
Yesterday, I went on a trip around the island, I couldn't interest the others. Its very barren and hardly any population outside of Mindelo. Agriculture is subsistence on poor rocky ground. The main saving feature for the the island is Mindelo and its harbour. Good views from the summit of Monte Verdi 750m.
