... beach, all ours, a stretch of about a km. Sunshine, lovely.
Back at the site during low tide, a beer with lunch and off again.

## A lazy afternoon, alas the wind did not die down so surfing was not on, so we opted for a light camp salad dinner, followed by a stroll in town, the odd Sagres or two and a take away pizza. The latter was served up by a very friendly Dutch lady who along with her partner had sold up in Holland 7 years prior ...

Er kunnen in Sines zeer grote tankers komen. Er is een grote olieterminal. Het haventje voor de jachten ligt zo, dat je er geen last van hebt.
Enkele video´s van eerdere plekjes zijn toegevoegd. Uit Lissabon wat over de uitbreiding van de Portugese gebiedsdelen, uit Nazaré de golven, verder uit Lissabon ...

... to stay at the beach and that didn't work for me. It made me nervous again.

So, I drank plenty of coffee, smoked plenty of cigarettes and had a brainwave - would my hosts in France take me early? I couldn't phone the first person I was meant to stay with as I knew he was on holiday, but the 2nd hosts, maybe they could help. They did. The absolute stars. Julie phoned all her friends and arranged stays with one set of friends, then with her and ...

... on line: No. Me: They are expecting me, it's Rowan, I'm your volunteer, they are to come and collect me. Voice: Elizabeth and Sue aren't talking to anyone. Me: But they are expecting me, I'm in Cercal, I've just travelled from the UK to volunteer with them. I need to speak to them. Silence......Voice: No, they aren't speaking to anyone, you have the wrong number...line dead...Me: Looking at phone and going; Oh, bugger!

... a little naively too) invited us to stay with them. Little did they know what they were getting themselves into! Maria of course had delicious homemade Portuguese soup awaiting our arrival and the parade of food began . It didn't end until we left on the Friday the 8th with, of course, a packed lunch large enough for ...

... no sign of them and I phoned up to check progress. In my broken Portugese and their no English, I deduced that no water was coming and couldn't understand the explanation given. We needed shopping before the early closure and drove into town, Grandola, some forty minutes away. Calling at the Bombeiros station, still in broken Portugese but with a friendly girl passer by helping us, we found out that they weren't delivering because there were some previous delivery bills outstanding ...

A Inês e eu decidimos sair da autoestrada e pegar emprestada a estrada nacional para visitarmos um pouco a costa vicentina e deixem que vos diga, se vao fazer uma viagem e têm tempo a « desperdiçar », façam um favor a vocês proprios e peguem a estrada nacional. Da outra dimensao a vossa viagem, chega até a dar prazer de estar na estrada, as horas sentem-se menos a passar. Ou se calhar é so o Alentejo que tem essas ...

... over all guns blazing before cowering like puppies on arrival. They were eating out of my hand in seconds. I left the parentals with the dog family and hopped over the fence, through the muddy rocks and straight into the sea. The sun dipped down to eye level moments later. It was perfect, infinitely better than last night's and so so personal. Apart from a lone fisherman further up the coastline I was completely alone ...

... atrás do homem, que consegui pegar e lhe dar uns bons tabefes, mas quando lhe segurei a camisa e ele tentou correr, esta rasgou e ele fugiu, sem a camisa... Acabamos a noite tentando fazer um boletim de ocorrência na delegacia mais próxima, apesar da má vontade absoluta da polícia portuguesa. De prejuízo só o iPod do Mike, que não conseguiu alcançar a mulher, e um corte na minha boca. Após esse indício de que eu deveria deixar esse país o ...

We spent a really lovely day driving down the Southern coast of Portugal. It's mostly made up of rocky cliffs and beautiful little beaches. We stopped and ate lunch on top of a old fort that's overlooking the beach...and that's where the boobie watching began. I swear all of the guys made it their mission to see every pair of naked boobies on the beach. And god forbid if one of the guys missed a set, the other guys would be sure to point 'em out. This was just a little foreshadowing of ...
