2012 - OCEAN PRINCESS - CAPE VERDE

MINDELO, CAPE VERDE

I EXPECTED THIS TO BE A BIT OF AN ANTI-CLIMAX AFTER WEST AFRICA, & IT WAS SOMEWHAT.

BUT COLOURFUL NEVERTHELESS....

LADIES HERE CARRY STUFF ON THEIR HEADS TOO.

I WONDER IF THERE IS A STUDY OF WHERE IN THE WORLD THIS IS USED.

BUT MAYBE WE SHOULD LET SLEEPING DOGS LIE...

IS THIS WHERE THE EXPRESSION ‘NET INCOME’ COMES FROM?

AND DON'T PUT THE CAT AMONG THE FISH.

ANOTHER STRANGE THING, WHY WOULD CATS LIKE FISH SO MUCH?
DOGS DON’T, DO THEY?

THIS MAN SURE HAS A LOAD TO CARRY..

WE CLIMB OUT OF TOWN ON THIS, LAID BY HAND, ROAD, FOR A GREAT VIEW AROUND THE ISLAND..

AND BACK DOWN THE MOUNTAIN TO THE COAST

AND BACK TO THE SHIP

A GENTLE STOP. NOTHING MUCH TO RECOMMEND MY RETURNING EXCEPT SOME NICE PEOPLE & GREAT WEATHER.
