(Calm before the storm – this was taken just before we took off from to )

This is our final leg of the journey from KL to Cape Verde and this time, we changed the airline from to TAP Air Portugal, flying on the smaller Airbus A320.

There is a good reason why I did not post this earlier – details coming up soon.

When I first heard the name of the country; I had to google it up as well. Some of my friends & family members even mistook it as Cape Town in South Africa. Interestingly initially I was not scheduled to fly as I usually had managed things from the office. But as we started to go into the details and with some of the key team members made unavailable to fly at the last minute, the signs were obvious that I had to fly to manage things onsite.
