    Hello Carl, We went in 2011 to Boa Vista the hotel was called the Karamboa, nice hotel, staff friendly, weather mostly hot and always a breeze, did have problems with flooding and the pool was closed for 3 days due the heavy rain. We went all in, the food was ok a bit samey after 14 nights and in the self service was a bit manic at times, massive place and only 5 mins from the airport. There wasn't a great deal to do out side the hotel very 3rd world, did a trip to see turtles laying eggs which was fantastic. Have a look on my FB page, got some pics on there somewhere.

    Carl, not wanting to be the one to piss on your parade mate......but.

    I just found out this morning that my director is going on a ' the annual boys only Kite boarding' holiday next Friday....to...wait for it.......Cape Verda. I don’t know which island but as sods law always rears it ugly head in these situations God help you my son.

    If the worst happens you could always rent a peddlo and dump the body in Sierra Leone where another sun burned white body won’t really be noticed.

    We had some friend go the cape verda and their account put us off! We are going to the Fuerterventura instead and then down to France to visit my parents late July, the rest of the year will be spent putting miles on the blade..

    Carl I am so pleased to hear that’s another bullet in life dodged. I dreaded hearing your holiday was ruined by a bunch of self opinionated, little dicked, moneyed oiks giving it large.
