Awelina of Sweden - Departure for the Cape Verdes

Departure for the Cape Verdes

Awelina of Sweden

James Collier

Tue 26 Jan 2016 10:31

Of all the islands we visited, this seems the quietest and least exploited, being more devoted to agriculture than to tourism. It's green, very varied and quite beautiful. we leave today for Cape Verde with some regrets and a desire to return some day. We'll collate photos for posting when we next get internet.

We have 800 miles to go to the port of Mindelo on the island of Sao Vincente, so hopefully about 5 or 6 days.
