The rocky cliffs and sheltered beaches of Cascais

Feel the breeze!
We came to a campsite in Cascais after leaving Lisbon. We really shouldn't have chosen this campsite because it was in the opposite direction of where we were heading next, but the weather was nicer and it was right on the beach which always pulls us in. ...

Beautiful Cascais
Today we walked down the coast of Cascais to the boca do Inferno. This is a cave in the cliff of the coastline that apparently when the sea is rough makes a very loud angry noise, hence the name "mouth of hell". However, today the sea was quite ...
Guincho beach
Today we went to Guincho beach. It was about a 9 km bike ride from Cascais and one of the few beaches along the Portugal coastline. Most of the coast is jagged rock and cliffs which is very beautiful. The water is very cold here, all the surfers have ...
Finally in Portugal
What up!!!!!! After a very stormy 35 hours we finally got in to Cascais,Portugal. A lot of thing broke on the yacht and we now have decided not to trust the damn weather reports anymore. It said calm weather and no swell or seas. Wow did they get it ...

Bars, Beaches, and Fado

Harry Potter

Lang zal hij leven
Gisteren zijn we naar een van de beste bakkers geweest voor een verjaardagstaart van manlief. Een soort sneeuwtaart werd er uitgekozen. Vanochtend was dan het moment supreme om hem aan te snijden. Een typisch Portugees gerecht denk ik, extreem zoet en de ...
Riding the waves
we zijn op het strand, en je staat vaak ind e schaduwvan de matrasvliegers van de kitesurfers. Er staat een fikse wind, rode vlag, dus niet zwemmen. Wel zijn er een echte lifeguard a la baywatch aanwezig. (inclusief het rode reddingsboeitje wat ze je ...
