Went to the Cape Verde Islands and stayed on the Island of Sal at the Garopa Hotel.
The hotel was nice, and joined the Funana Hotel, being able to use the facilities at both hotels.

I do not know why I chose to take ferry boats during this trip. I cannot swim and usually get vertigo after being out on the sea for any extended period of time. Then again, the my sense of adventure is stronger than case of vertigo.

OR Tambo Airport was snowed under, causing a backlog of flights. Flights out of Cape Town were delayed - up to six hours, apparently. I was due to fly at 08h40, arrived around 07h30 thanks to wonderful airport shuttle avoiding all the traffic, and finally got to fly after 13h00. Missing my connectin…

Quite possibly one of the most dangerous places that I have ever visited in my life. I literally could have been killed at any moment and had numerous run ins with less than desirable people in Abeche and to the east. Not a place that should be visited unless you are accompanied by the French Forei…
