Cape Verde was uninhabited when the Portuguese arrived in 1460. It is off the coast of Africa and achieved it's independence from Portugal in 1975. Mindelo is a colorful little city and felt a bit more upscale than our last few ports on the mainland of Africa. Because our visit was on a Sunday, almost everything was closed. Our tour consisted of a drive around the island with several photo stops along the way. The weather was great.......a breezy springlike day.
We now leave Africa and cross the Atlantic for 4 days and will arrive in Barbados on May 7.
