Postcards Received from Africa - Yes, AFRICA!

935.  Annaba - northeast Algeria
Hello Chris!  I hope you're fine and hope you'lllike this map card from my home town "Annaba."  It's the fourth largest city of Algeria.  All the best, Kadir

546.  Waterfall of Tamerza, TUNISIA
Happy postcrossing.

376.  Cape Town, South Africa

Hi Chris,
I thought that this card will fit your profile perfectly!  I took this photo a while ago.  My husband is a self-confessed coke-aholic!  I live and work outside the beautiful city of Cape Town, South Africa.  You can drive one hour into any direction from the CBD and you are guaranteed to find magic in the countryside.  Charming towns, vineyards, scenic mountains and beaches.
Greetings, Magaretha

Temp 30 degrees C.
Dear Chris,
My name is Sonette and I live in a small town, Ifafi, in the north west of South Africa.  I love nature, reading, photography and cross stitching.  My home language is Afrikaans.  It is similar to Dutch.  A few words in my language:  "Lekker" = nice; "Pragtig" = beautiful; 'Vrede" = peace.  I hope you enjoy the postcard.  It is taken in a reserve called "The Hell" because it is so remote!
Warm regards, Sonette.

077.  Cape Verde, Africa
Baia das Gatas, Island of S. Vicente
Hell Chris!  Baia das Gatas is the best place to go for a swim in this beautiful and small island where I live.  Fishing is obviously one of the traditional economic activities in Cape Verde, which is an archipelago country.  We are planning on spending the day outdoors and cook "cachu pa guisod'  (a typical Cape Verdean dish with corn) over a wood fire on the beach...but it's raining cats and dogs!  All the best to you! 18 October 2015 28 degrees C
