Post Office Tree, has 600 years old history to say. In 1501 Portguese traveler left a message near the tree saying how he escaped the storm in his journey to Calacutta, India. Next Year Joao De Nova got this message near the tree, the tree become a post office to sea travellers. Today we can see an iron shoe near the tree, where people can send post to their choice. We can also see Dias Museum with lots of information related to local history.

nothing actually makes us alive except when we hang out and spend time in a historical place,, It makes me think of the way people used to live and how they thought about those designs in that time.

There is my friend living. Are you met with him? Lolz
