C est parti pour la plongee
Je suis venu pour faire une plongee d exception : la grotte de taracona et son fameux rayon bleu. Je pense faire un sommet de volcan, la descente d un volcan est toujours sympa, la cendre se comporte comme de la cendre. Pour les photos il faut ...
no stress
No stress. No stress. This is the local saying that is spray painted onto anything. And it's true, Cabo verde has its own timezone, pace of life and no stress attitude that is very similar to that of the Caribbean. A typical Cabo verdean day seems to ...
WIND WIND WIND.....
... as a weight and we started getting lots of bites¡K he saw we were still not catching anything thing so gave us a souvenir from Cape Verde, which was a serious looking weight and hook set up. And within minutes I caught our first fish, see photo¡K. YEAH! ...
Hunting and murdering
It still windy! We haven't done much other than Kitesurf everyday. The water temperate is warm enough to wear boardshorts and rash vest, but the other nationalities think we are 'crazy british' for not wearing full wetsuits. I think perhaps they should ...
Big fish and a house party
At 6.30am I'm standing alone by the pier watching the full moon slowly give way to the sun. I'm waiting for Abilio, a local fisherman I managed to book a trip with some days earlier. At 7 sharp, the tallest, biggest, and most serious of the islanders ...
Going south to some warmy place
Landed we have on this desert island of Sal. At the arrival those persons having a valid visa can go through a passport control and out. But those that do not have a visa-stamp in their passports have to go to a small, hot room at the left corner of the ...
Sweapt away - emotionally and nearly physically
The following day after chilling out on the beach and checking out the amazing huge surf waves, I stroll into town again. Armed with a bottle of wine and a big bag of fruits, I go in search for Abilio's house. It's his birthday on Tuesday and since I ...
The sea
The island is to an european person merely a desert. The only trees there are those planted by house owners. The land is otherwise bare, but the sea... The sea is beautiful and ...
The attraction of places you have never heard of
... Possibly the greatest joy of going somewhere obscure is watching people's faces when you tell them where you're going. "Cape Verde?" they say, struggling valiantly, before asking "Where's that again?". Better still is when I explain that ...
En veckas sol och bad.
Sol och bad, men mest blev det läsning. Lungan hela veckan. God frukostbuffé. Kände igen alla barnfamiljer. Härligt café mitt i stan där jag introducerade pappa i mojitons ...
A fish on land
I´ve been put in an institution. I knew it´d happen some day but never expected it to be this way. Don´t get me wrong, I´d rather be here than at home and at work, with the cold and darkness surrounding me. I am here with some colleagues from my day ...
Kapverden – ein wenig von allem mitten im At
... 'ste verlassen haben, hatten wir mal wieder ganz leichten Nieselregen (für etwa eine Viertelstunde ;) Und auf der anderen Insel (Sal), die völlig kahl ist und eher an eine Mondlandschaft erinnert, haben wir uns am wunderbaren Sandstrand mit kitschig ...
Lichtblauwe zee en witte stranden
... even lekker genieten van de zon en dan donderdagochtend door naar Sao Vicente, waar we een BB hebben midden in de stad. Veel liefs vanuit paradijselijk Sal, Martijn en Hillyne nb Het uploaden van foto's lukt helaas niet, dus die hebben jullie nog tegoed ...
"Never a dull moment-moment"
Woke up in a haze because my bladder was bursting. Dashed to the loo, opened the door, turned around, shut the door, turned around to find the toiliet - only to find - the hallway! Wrong bloody door! Remembering how long it took for my roomies to wake ...
