Cabo Verde

Today I present amazing country full relax and neverending beaches - Cabo verde. 

One country - ten islands. This article is about the Sal island. The Sal is part of group of islands called Barlavento and it is the oldest island of Cabo Verde.

Capital city of Sal is Espargos, main capital city of Cabo verde is called Praia.

The Sal island is very small, I recommend to you, rent a car and explore it by yourself, without an agency. You can never get lost there. The lenght of the island is +/- 35km and width of the island is 12km.

Interesting places:
Espargos town - old town with historical buildings and squares, pubs, discos
Palmeira harbour
Olho Azul - approximately 5 km far from Palmeira - sea caves and cliffs - especially for divers !
Pedra Lume - next to this small town you can find amazing old salt mine crater, where you can bathe in this "little lakes"

Buracona - "the magic eye"
Monte Grande - the highest mountain (406 m), you can see fata morgana there ;)
Boa vista island

Big advantage of Cabo Verde is constant hot weather, so you ca not chose bad-time of you holiday there ! The hottest months are September, Cctober, November and December. The "coldest" months are January, February and March - temperature + 20°C. 

Never-ending beach and high wavy sea - paradise for windsurfing fans.

Tunisia

The capital city of Tunisia is Tunis. The main destination for tourists are:
Hammamet,
Yasmine Hammamet,
Mahdia,
Sousse,
Monastir,
Djerba Island.

Tunisia is very safe, cheep and tourist-friendly arabic country. What to do in Tunisia ? So many activities, from shopping (for instance spices, leather products, jewels), swimming in the sea and sunbathing on the beach,diving, camel riding till adrenalin sports like paraglide, quad bikes roads in desert or parachute.

Everywhere in arabic country you have to be very careful about foods and drinks - I recommend to you, don't eat anything on the street market and drink water just from bottle.

Mess in the city - unfortunately there is a big mess on the street. You have to accept it, and stop to solve it. They have as a different mentality as in Europe...





If you plan to travel to Tunisia on month September or October, you should have a problem with a dirty sea. In this time there is a lot of brown algae. Finally, sea in Tunisia is not much clear. You can not expect, sea like on Caribic.




Place of interest:
Cartago - Excavation sites - very important part of their history
Tunis - Capital city, Boulevard of 7th November called "Habiba Bourguiby",

Medina - Old part of Tunis,mosques, palaces

Eindhoven - The Netherlands

For today i would like to present to you something about the Netherlands - Eindhoven

Holland is very famous because of flowers, windmills, clogs and cheeses, everybody know it, but you can find more there ! If you will be there you have to visit some flowermarket in the centre. It is a nice experiece - so much colors, smells and kind of flowers... 

Language - The Netherlands has their own language - for me it sounds very similar like German. Native people don't want to speak English or can not to speak English, so you should have problem with menus in the restaurants or it other basic situation. Don't be afraid, everybody are very nice and friendly and they will give you an advice if you will need. The main points of interest are in English - Airport, Trains... 





Eindhoven is a city of students. Thanks to the University of Eindhoven is city full of young people, very modern and full of energy. Also you can find there wonderful modern and colorful architecture, pubs, restaurants and shops. If you will be there you have to try Hutspot - dutch speciality (beef, onion, potatoes, carrot) and beer :).

Place in Einhoven which is good to see: 
Sint-Catharinakerk - nice small Neo-Gothic church in the centre
Van Abbemuseum - museum of modern art. You can find there Picasso, Chagall, Kandinsky or Mondriaan.
DAF Museum - museum of DAF vehicles, 
Designhuis - modern design museum
Historisch Openluchtmuseum Eindhoven - open air museum of history of area

Bikes - Everywhere where you will be, will be also bicycles ! The netherlands in tableland so it is paradise  for them. It is no problem to rent some for you. It is quite cheap and you can find it everywhere in the city. You dont have to be afraid of traffic, bike riders have their own traffic line :).

Cheeses - in shops specialized in cheese, you can try, taste and compare many kind of it. For me, like czech girl it was quite expensive to buy some. But it is neccesary! So good taste! 

In this country is very high quality public transport. I have use train there and it was very comfortable, fast and quite cheap.
