Aparthotel Novo Rosamar Armação de Pera

... we een keer of 5 verblijd met een groepje rond de boot. Ze komen van ver naar je toe zwemmen.
Minder blij waren we met de duizenden vliegende mieren. De overlast viel uiteindelijk erg mee.
En nog wat beelden van rond Alvor, een heerlijk oord om voor anker te liggen.

I made it to Lagos yesterday. Its basically a beach/party town. The second place that I walked into turned out to be a really great room for 25 euros a night complete with my first english language tv of the trip. Today I spent part of the day in Sagres, the southwestern most point in europe. Good for pictures and walking really really far. Tomorrow I´m going to attempt to get to Seville.

... the city. Lagos is such a small but beautiful town. The people are more friendly than I've experienced thus far here in Spain. The shops are soo unique, just like the city they are filled with so much life and culture.

I feel so tremendously lucky, I never thought I'd have such an opportunity to be able to travel like this. Our world is so full of culture and I've only begun to explore it!

... we hit the town. Since i got there so late, there wasnt time to check out the beach that day. All i did was go to the super market with Lorena and Natalie and i was able to obtain a 79 cent bottle of wine. OMG, and it was soo good. We did a little bit of predrinking because thats what you do before you go out. We hit a couple bars, the first one being three monkeys. This place was just down the road and it had a board with all the ppl that have done ...

... terrace where we just finished a delicious, homemade seafood paella dish with fresh sangria.

Showering and off to bed for the night. Tomorrow's adventures may include a walking tour, tapas tasting and flamenco dancing.

Hope everything at home is amazing.

Lots of love,

Yes we have discovered our alter egos here in Europe.

After a few days of intense activity (lying on the beautiful beaches, and swimming. Tough stuff) We headed out for a big night on the town with our new friends, Mike and Dave from Melbs, Kelly from London - we re-named her 'Lily Allen', Asha the vet nurse from Perth, and some others who I can't remember right now - what can I say, we were pretty popular. For those who have spent time in Thailand or the Greek Islands, you may be familiar with 'buckets'. Well here we ...

... lucky to have her in my life & I'd really like to get a replacement ring.

If anyone is visiting and is able to drop off a few rings to a nearby resort. My friend owns a timeshare and the people at the resort will pay you to make it worth your while.

Thanks,

... to sit with them.

That's all behind us now (including being last through customs in Faro - but we got plenty of travel advice and tips). The hotel we are calling home in teh Algarve over the next 5 days is called Monte do Casal and it is fabulous! Notwithstanding that they upgraded us to a Suite with our own private terrace with views to the ocean. Will upload some photos of the hotel (where no kids are allowed), but before we do that, some welcomed sleep is needed.

... Ended up surfing one day with a Crazy Englishman who loved to talk a pulling his pud, the friendliest Welshman, a relatively quiet Irishman, a very cool yank and a couple of spanish lads as well. The change of pace was a great decision in the end, a lot more chilled out, scored some epic waves and made some really good mates along the way. So to some things up- first trip as a solo traveler- complete success!

Stayed 3 nights in this small, cozy and beautiful sea-side town. We found an unimaginable deal: An apart hotel, renting studios with two bedrooms, bath and a kitchen, perfect for families with kids, provides warmed swimming pool and only 100 meters away ...
