Cape Verde Internet & Communications  
Mindelo, Cape Verde
I didn't have a chance but look for fishing tours the people here make a living off of it. Souvenirs are everywhere set aside money for that and plan to negotiate a little. If you are there for their festival, bring your camera, hang on to it tight and hang on for the ride. It's an insane party that spans the island. If you can't deal with the insanity, a hotel balcony is a good place to hide and get pictures. The woman that owns the internet cafe in the town center is wonderful, British and a good source of information.

Santa Maria, Cape Verde
There are ATMs in town, but they're all Visa only. There aren't any that take Mastercard/Maestro.

Everywhere accepts euros but you usually get an exchange rate of 100 escudos, rather than the official one of 110 escudos to the euro.

Ponta do Sol, Cape Verde
In this town, you can have a marvellous view towards the sea from Rua Direita. In the evenings, the praça is the place to be. People hang out there, talk, have fun and have drinks at the esplenade.

Praia, Cape Verde
Beautiful, amazing! Views like you wouldn't believe! It's a great place to set up home base while you take taxis (vans or short buses) around the island. Be sure to do some hiking... you find the most interesting things when you get lost.
