We were leaving Santo Antão this morning; after a drive along the island’s East coast we made it back to Porto Novo, where we boarded the ferry back to Mindelo on São Vicente. Today we were on the slow ferry – a not-too-bumpy ride of 45 minutes. Arriving in Mindelo, we put our main luggage into storage and had a tour of town with stops at cultural centers, various markets and the church (which was closed). One stop was at a local instrument maker, providing us insight into his art and a concert showcasing the instruments. After lunch in the city center we had time to kill – and used that for a walk to a viewpoint with views across town. We met up again in the evening for the trip to the airport, to catch our flight back to Praia.
