Need a few weeks in the sun come Febuary. Anybody been to the Cape Verde islands? I have a 16 month old and wife will be about 6.5 months pregnant. Would it be ok?

not wise to fly post 6 months I think

6.5 months is fine, but double check with airline first (just in case) also it may be worth requesting extra legroom for the flight....

Hi, didn't mean if its safe to fly at that time but would Cape Verde be suitable for a pregnant wife and 16 month old

DCI Gene Hunt

Climate wise yes, although like anywhere, it depends on where you're staying really....

If it is anything like Dakar, never drink the water, only ever from sealed bottle water. Especially important for the baby.

In the restaurants in Daker they are likely to bring you bottled water bottles which have been refilled from the tap. The ensuing illness is crippling for a grown up.

Maybe Cap Verde is better but just thought I would warn you of the possible risk.

Did you go Deep? Looking at Cape Verde too, will also have a pregnant wife in tow!

Leslie, I don't think it's much like Dakar at all.

A mate of mine has just been to Cape Verde in the last two weeks. I'll get the low down on Monday. FYI he took his 6month baby as well

It is worth the trip.

Great stuff, and the tap water is ok enough for washing your teeth.....

A bit expensive for the quality they offer though.

Have you decided what company you are going with?

Keep up Janspeed. It's March.

No didn't go. A friend went and told me its a great place in terms of natural beauty and beaches etc but lacks infrastructure. This wouldn't have bothered me a few years ago but not now with a young family.

Saying that the friend who went was 6 months pregnant!
