Postcards & Mail Postcard chat!

Visiting Sao Tome for a few days and sending some cards as usual. Unfortunately postage is expensive at 2,5€ or slightly more in Dollar. I have 26 cards to send… My first official Postcrossing card was ST-256. Someone sent a lot of cards from here 10 years ago. The post office in the capital Sao Tome:

And the philatelic section which had postcards and lots of different stamps:

Selection of postcards I bought there:

Finally the stamp valid for all countries but I have to tear it out first so I have space for writing the addresses:

Angola and Sao Tome & Principe are easy to combine coming from Europe via Portugal and there is one weekly direct flight between Angola and STP taking only two hours.
