Day at Sea - No fighting for deckchairs
Today was just another day at sea. And yet, when I got to the pooldeck in the morning, it was different. There were quite a few free deckchairs. The temperatures had gone slightly down (still 22 degrees celcius) and we had strong winds. Covered in towels ...
Sal and Sao Vicente

Shouldn't Cape Verde Islands be green?
... laying around everywhere. Tourism on the island is only starting. We met 2 Swiss tourists that are doing a 2 week roundtrip on the Cape Verde Islands and assured us that some of the other islands (especially Boa Vista) are more touristy and also much ...
