The capverdian music, we like it!
One of the reasons for us to come to Cape Verde. You feel and hear the music in the air.
There are three different kinds of capeverdian music; the funana, the morna and the coladera.
Our favourite is the morna.
One of the most famous singers of the morna is Cesaria Evora.
We visit her home town Mindelo.
There we hear that our planned departure from Cape Verde was too early...
Cesaria Evora should just return to Mindelo one week later and sing in one of the popular music-café's in Mindelo.
Now we listen to her cd's at home. Cape Verde the year round. At 26th october 2005 finally we managed to visit a concert of Cesaria Evora in the Netherlands. It was really great ! Leave a Comment

In the island of Sal you have 2 banks (for what i know) and one cashpoint, but cannot be used by foreigner accounts. In Boavista island you only have one bank opened untill 3pm, where you can get money at the balcony with your visa card (only!). The only way to get around there is with money on your pocket, there's no such thing as visa in shops, hotels or restaurants. neither travelcards. Leave a Comment

Cape Verde is a far trek to a beach island in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. What better way to visit here than to take another member of VT along with you! The first photo shows my friend and wonder VA (Virtual Attendee) - Gail. I thought she looked a bit pale one day in my rucksack so I took her down to the glorious golden beach in Santa Maria. Gail is known as Glo39 here on VT and was my Virtual Attendee at the VT Euromeet in Karlsruhe, Germany. She asked if she could travel with me and she has been a fabulous travelling companion. She is always ready to go on an adventure with me, I don’t have to pay for another airline seat for her and she is even water resistant (after some ‘plastic’ surgery). What a woman! If you would like a VA then go to a VT Meeting and take your Virtual (Tourist) friends with you!!! Leave a Comment

 the harbour of mindelo by cachaseiro
the barefooted diva, cesaria evora comes from there and so does many other musicians.
my best memory of cape verde was one night where i went to a concert with youssou n'dour and by chance ran in to him in a local jazz cafe after the show.
he really es a great singer and also a very nice guy and it was funny to meet him at 'home ground'. Leave a Comment

SAL Island - Santa Maria Beach
BOAVISTA Island - Santa Monica Beach
SANTIAGO Island - Cidade da Praia Market and Cidade Velha
SAO VICENTE Island - City of Mindelo
Amilcar Cabral Square (Mindelo)
Where you seat and observe Cape Verdeans walking around the square.
Coming from Sao Vicente Airport and seeing Mindelo and its bay from the road. Quite impressive!!! Leave a Comment
