Hurray! 🙂 We have officially visited all 54 sovereign countries of Africa! We have met some exceptionally friendly people, visited the most extraordinary places, enjoyed Africa’s infinite positivity, planted a lot of trees, fought for peace, and found tons of love along the way. ♥️ As we are (also) in search of the best honeymoon…

Country 60/196: Cape Verde Destination: Sal island Our last African destination was a great one – Cape Verde or more precisely Sal island. It’s hard not to fall in love with this tiny island in the Atlantic, which is located almost halfway between Portugal and Brazil.
