A week in a small desert...

by mcb - last update: Jun 19, 2004

Sal island

Oops

Sal Island is incredible; I never expected something like that.

I was my first time in Africa, (well once I went to Ceuta), but, it was my first and only time in really Africa (not really it is island…but).

It was difficult at the beginning, the first and second days, very poor people (they appear like poor), very dry Island and very windy.

I’m don’t like beach too much, but they are great, so we travelled around the island and we had some adventures on it.

The ambient around is wonderful everyone has a story and they like to tell it.
The kids are really free; they run, they swim; they do fishing they are all over.

In middle of our trip we got a plane to Santiago island, where is Cabo Verde Capital Praia.
It is very different in landscape; it is very green and more humid. But they are very poor too. We rent a car and travelled all around the island.
