... small trenches around each encampment. Another fascinating insight into the diversity that is the European Comminity.

The beach was lovely with fine golden sand and huge dead jellyfish. We sat and drank beer and watched the sunset and only laughed a little when we thought of family and friends in the cold wet November days at home. The security at the campsite was interesting in that both of us and the car ...

Op de rechteroever slaat de torenklok een keer vaker dan op de linkeroever: in Spanje is het een uur later.
Drie stukjes film: weer dolfijnen, de eerste die we in de Algarve tegen kwamen, blijft voor ons erg leuk, ik hoop voor jullie ook. Dit keer een wat grotere varieteit. Het tweede stukje film is uit de zoutwinning bij het plaatsje Tavira waar kluten, reigers en lepelaars fourageren. Het derde stukje film zijn wat beelden in en rond de Guadiana, de grensrivier.

... speak with me than Virg, this being the opposite experience to the one we had in the north of the country, and come to that, everywhere else.

Nevertheless, it was lovely to chill for a few days and the hotel, with its rooftop terrace bar and pool provided a good base. The only complaint...they do need to do something about allowing kids to run riot in the bar after midnight... but the kid thing has all been said before.

... Atlantic. Lots of smallish waves roll in - not in sets like in Perth but just one wave after another. They weren't good enough to body surf but that didn't stop us from trying.

Friday sees us travelling by train to Faro then changing to the express to Lisbon to our apartment. And then a whole new adventure will start.

We trust all are well back in Perth.

... s centre streets are cobbled, narrow and one-way. We´ve spent Sunday afternoon & evening and Monday just walking around the town, exploring and soaking up the atmosphere. Lots of coffees, pastries and beer. Food and drink is really cheap (expresso $1.10, beers are about $2.20 for a stubby).

We´ve been practising our very limited Portugese - I think we can say about 3 expressions so far! Locals seem to find our efforts amusing! :-)

... was never happier than when I was cycling amongst them. For myself I never doubted that I could complete the journey, but I confess there were a few times when I wondered just how well I would complete it. A disappointment was missing the Logroño to Burgos leg through an upset stomach, but at least I discovered that Spanish buses will carry a bicycle! (Surprisingly I was told the only trains that would carry the bike were those that run at night.) An ...

After a very good night´s sleep and breakfast of toastie, doughnuts, fresh orange juice and coffee served by a young lady with bad attitude, I pushed off west to Huelva. I have not seen the sea since passing through Dieppe way back on the 20th April, so I was looking forward to the day. But in the event it proved to be a horrible ride. The road surface was poor and the traffic very heavy, especially early on. There was no ...

... hours to kill for the bus, walked around the market, watched a scrimmage soccer game, walking past a bar i came across a birthday party where i was literally pulled in... friendly people, free food, a warm place to wait for the bus... DEPARTED to Lisbon

... br>Samuti oli just Lagos see koht, kust 1578.a läks Dom Sebastião koos Portugali, Hispaania, Hollandi ja Saksa "õnneotsijatega" (ingl k buccaneer) Põhja-Aafrikat kristianiseerima. Milline kül oleks Aafrika täna ilma selle sündmuseta..?

Praeguseks oli jõgi suhteliselt kokku kuivanud, linn väsinud. Tegime seal väiksed tiirud vanalinnas, jõime (laste)kärarikkas kohvikus cappuccinot ja soetasime paar köögirätikut.

... de helling in Vila Real de Santo Antonio met zijn slechte reputatie? We zoeken van wege de westen wind een meer beschutte ankerplaats in de riviermonding en nu maar hopen dat het niet te hard gaat waaien. Om 10.00 uur begint het echter wel heel hard te waaien en omdat het al donker is zijn er geen alternatieven dan blijven liggen. De hele nacht waait het tussen 5 en 6, het anker houdt en de ankerwacht op de GPS geeft geen piep. Het enige is dat wij slecht ...
