We got home last night at about 1am so we are pretty pooped. No real delays, just 30 minutes at the airport. Traffic on M25 and M1 was fine our way but there was a jam the opposite way on the M1.
We came away from Cape Verde without making an investment. It wasn’t for us really, too much development happening everywhere at the same time. Too much wind and dust and the cost of living is higher than here in England. If we had money sitting in the bank earning 4 or 5% then we may have bought in Boa Vista on the front line. I think we could have got the one bed we liked for less than £40000 which would definitely make money once the front line was finished in a couple of years time. Basically, we didn’t like it enough to keep visiting any investment we had made. Regarding Cape Verde as a holiday resort; in my opinion it isn’t it will need several years before it gets to this stage. Maybe if you had worked hard all year and just wanted a hassle free break then the Riu all inclusive hotel might be for you where people rarely venture out of the grounds except to walk to the beach. If anyone is interested Tam Tam's is for sale. One thing I forgot to say was about the keyboards in Cape Verde are different from anywhere else I have ever seen. The "A" key is where our "Q"
key is, the numbers have to be shifted and a few other wierd things. Everywhere we went was the same so it wasnt that someone had cleaned the keys and put them back in the wrong place. It was quite difficult to type as sub-consciously you were put off.
Straight back to the flat finishing the kitchen off and now back to work for my last weeks work. Roll on this Friday so I can concentrate on getting the flat finished and we can start on our garden, shed and garage at home. I took the fan and heater covers around the flat that Claire had sprayed white to fit back up but as my shorts had been washed the screws that I had put in thier pockets for safe keeping had gone. Maybe this is why the washing machine was making a noise?
