Wed, 12.11.2025: Salt farm on Sal

The day is dedicated to relaxation. Those who feel like it can take an island tour today (optional) or refresh themselves in the Atlantic.

On this last day before the night flight back home I walked with two ladies of the group to the smaller of the 2 salt farms on this island of Sal. It is interesting to see how the salt which dries in shallow pools is collected into little pyramids and balls. Then we crossed some sand dunes to reach the coast. However despite the sandy shore the water was full of rocks so that no swimming was possible.

I had dinner in the hotel for a second time and it was then not long till we had to leave for the airport at 10.30pm. The flight was more or less on time and I had rebooked my seats to priority reclining ones which was much more comfortable for me. On arriving in Zürich it felt like winter compared with Capo Verde.
