In reply to DeWetsWild.It's truly a beautiful island! The Star isn't even one of NCL's largest ships.

What starkly rugged yet beautiful scenery, John. It must've been Cape Verde's convenient location on the major shipping routes more than its natural resources that attracted the Portuguese to colonise it.

And wow, the Norwegian Star looks enormous in that tiny harbour!

What a gorgeous place, John. Did you hike up to the top. I hope not! That's quite a trek! It looks lovely. We take for granted the access to resources we have here in the United States. Your Pilot boat sends a strong message.

In reply to Toonsarah.It was a warm day on our visit with light breezes at the top of the mountain. Quite pleasant. We wouldn't have known of the colder winds. Luckily we weren't surprised with a lack of outerwear. :-)
