    by co48
    Most people arrive at the international near Espargos at Ilha do Sal. So we did.

    With small planes of TACV you can fly between most of the islands. Sometimes the planes fly in time, sometimes they are a little late.

    But from Santiago to Sal the plane once had a departure of three hours earlier. Because we didn't get the message, we missed that plane.

    by co48
    During our visit to the Capeverdian islands, we also liked to visit Santo Antao. From Mindelo every day are 2 or 3 boats, departing to Santo Antao early in the morning.

    It was not easy to get the right information about getting tickets, allthough we tried to find out the day before at the port and the hotel.

    In the harbour we found out, that for the boat -we came for- we had to get the tickets in town. We had not enough time to go there, but we were lucky to catch another smaller boat for which one we could buy a ticket at the ticketoffice in the harbour.

    At the moment of boarding we saw there was also an third boat, which one looked really old !

    The boat trip from Mindelo to Porto Novo takes one hour.
    There was a warning that the sea could be rather rough.
    Many capverdians had their plastic bags ready and the crew supplied a lot of buckets.

    Without problems we arrived at Porto Novo.

    On the islands are small busses to all towns and villages.

    At Santo Antao many busses wait in the port of Porto Novo. The busses will depart when there are enough paying passengers.

    At Santiago you take a taxi from the airport to Sucupira, the market in Praia. From there many busses depart to everwhere on the island.

    When we left Santo Antao the busdriver drove us to the office in Porto Novo where we could buy the return tickets for the ferry to Mindelo.
    A Capverdian man was very helpfull to get the tikets for us.

    In the background of the port you can see the other island Sao Vicente.

  • the last day nobody had more cars to rent. So we went for the other option that is to rent someone with a car! On the main square of Sal Rei you'll find loads of Toyota that work as a Taxi. You can ask them to show you around, or if know were you want to go, ask them to take you there, and wait for you, if you want to go for a swim or something.
    Don't forget to arrange the price before you step in!

    You should rent a 4x4 car, so you can explore the island. You only have 2 or 3 actual roads, the rest are all like "goat-paths"!
