We keep the form in Santa Luzia
Last stop before crossing the Atlantic and Mindelo. Of long walks and swims in the company of "Madgic" are on the program of this superb stopover in Ilha do santa Luzia.
Saturday 26 November - Santa Luzia
It is under the clouds that we get to the South West of the island of Santa Luzia. We cast anchor between the shore and island Zinno, facing the beach of Praia de Palmo. Not a Palm or a tree in sight on this uninhabited island.
"Madgic" joined us and we are all committed to do a little exercise for a few days... Philip is preparing...
Then Nathalie, already to ground, stamp of impatience.
1St day : easy level, long walk to the other side of the island. We are playing the balancing act on the big rocks that roll under each of our steps... women's team takes his time.
While the men's team who works a good not takes some pictures!
Funny creature who invited herself on the leg of Vincent
Meeting "memories" with Nathalie, Vincent and Charles at the top of the col that separates the two sides of the island.
Down in the Valley on the northeast side of the island, These are kilometres of sand dunes dotted with tufts of grass that we see.
Place a yellow flower emerges from the sand, What does not escape the eye of Philippe.
On the North Coast, Here is what we find... out of sight!
We walk along the beach with the desire to photograph anything other than plastics... This little crab and this small wader seem to dance in the waves looking for food.
We quickly leave the beach to find a more rugged landscape.
We walk for a little more of 3 hours and the legs begin to "shoot" as the sun goes down... we always smile.
more than 30 minute walk to get to the makeshift camp of fishermen on the beach
Second day: very difficult level hike. Philippe, Vincent and Charles have as a goal to achieve the highest summit that they see in the North of the island.
And ca climbs...
Beautiful view from the top.
The next day the sky emerges... ideal for exploring under water time. Nathalie becomes a real fish.
Oops! Here's the fish...
And here's what she's going to see up close...
Wednesday 30 November
We raise the anchor when the sun rises, because it is already time to regain Mindelo and prepare for the crossing. But before that we planned a getaway on the island of Sao Antao.
