Post w Cape Verde

Hello ALL,

I am planning a trip to Cabo Verde from January 15th - January 30th. I'm looking for reasonable hotels with high-speed internet or a local host in Praia, Santiago, Santa Maria, Sal and Mindelo, São Vicente.

Also, can you recommend a reliable ferry service to the abovementioned islands? I would prefer highspeed ferry service, but the reviews have been lest than favorable. If not possible, how much would a flight cost? Do Cabo Verde airlines offer an air pass to foreign travelers?

Also, where would you recommend for sightseeing on my first full day in these cities, as well as visiting the surrounding areas of the capital Praia? As for nightlife, I would love some recommendations and meeting female companions to show me around the abovementioned cities/islands.

Last, I would love to connect with other Brassa/Balanta people who reside on the islands. I am looking forward to connecting and having locals show me around Praia, as well as the other islands abovementioned.

Thanks in advance.
