The Santa Maria Cargo Ship Wreck

Our second outing was to the Santa Maria Cargo Ship Wreck - and our transport was a rather cool Defender! Which made for a very bumpy ride...

The ship wreck was pretty impressive - and was the only thing you could see for miles on the beach.

Most of the ship has now been washed away, leaving only a rusty skeleton for people to see. It was still very impressive to visit!

I'd recommend this day trip if you do visit Cape Verde - it was an interesting excursion, but it was very nice to get back to the hotel and have a shower after a hot day!
