Mindelo - Cape Verde Atlantic Ocean

The visit to Mindelo the capital of a group of Islands called Cape Verde was not that great? It was obvious by the large number of people standing around doing nothing, that the economy is in poor state, in fact this particular island with a population of 80000 has an unemployment rate of 28 percent.
There really was nothing to see, the town was very ordinary, we drove to the far side of the island and visited a very poor fishing village where the highlight was a visit to the local school where they sang to us. The roads are very poor all made of cobblestone right across the entire island.
To make matters less appealing we were cooped up in a mini van with 12 people aboard.
We are now on our way across the Atlantic for the next 4 days, just hope the weather is reasonable. We cross the equator on Thursday and arrive in Brazil on Sat.
