well, at least for a portuguese girl like me, or even for portuguese wallet. 100 escudos cabo-verdianos is around 1€, and things like bottled water are expensive. I was quite chocked with the thought that how do people who live there and work there get around with those prices... and i found out the don't easily... People told me that, for a start, they have different (cheaper) eating habbits, and they count a lot with the help of family living abroad. Wich is one of the most important sources of incoming currency. Leave a Comment

 the locals are freindly by cachaseiro
i walked home a couple of nights after several drinks around 4 o'clock in the morning and had no problems.
once a car even stopped and gave me a lift home.
i heard that praia-the capital has a crime problem, but as i haven't been there i can't say. Leave a Comment

Be extremely careful on internal flights since they carefully check your baggage weight; check for allowance before reaching the airport !!!!!!
You can get info from local hotel/resort managers.

Be careful with water, try to drink it only from pluming or bottled... Avoid wells and small streams... Leave a Comment

Airport in the capital city - Praia: There are aggresive boys who want to carry your luggage in or off the airport (for the tip). Be prepared! It is very short distance from arrival/departure hall to the taxi stand and you can use for free baggage carts... It was the only bad experience from Cabo Verde for me... Leave a Comment

and then it was finally my turn to enter the tender and we went ashore and I realized, my last film was finished and I had just a very short time ashore, before I had to be back onboard.
And of course there was no shop, selling films - and so I had a little walk of maybe 20 minutes, I saw colorful houses, nice and friendly people, who obviously will not see tourists every day...
Cape Verde is still an almost unspoilt groupe of islands - just have a look that not a lot of VT-members yet saw it at all ! Leave a Comment

DO NOT drink the water! They say it's purified but if I were you, I wouldn't drink it anyway.
I didn't drink it and still was sick in the end. I guess that it was the water that I used to wash my teeth :) Leave a Comment

Take care of your belongings in the towns. Pickpocketing and thieving is a problem, it is often carried out by children. Tourists are especially targeted so keep your wits about you and keep your wallet somewhere safe. Leave a Comment
