... to the station. I sit on the bench and pick away at the ruby red fruit. Pomegranate is similar to sunflower seeds, in that psychologically you are eating, but physically you are consuming so very little. <br><br>I arrived in Faro early in the day, located the nearest internet cafe and sent out a flurry of requests to both Couch Surfing and WWOOFing hosts. I wander the streets, hoping to accidentally find the youth ...

... was our first choice for somewhere to appreciate said coastline, possibly as we'd been drinking the local brew for the last few weeks and it's noted for its 'end of world feel' (the town not the beer) and inaccessibility (again, the town not...). It was the inaccessibility combined with our lack of time and a gentle reminder that we were on holiday not travelling, that made our mind up for us and we were soon on a high speed tilting train ...

Bussed to Faro, a small seaside town with not a hell of a lot really!!<br><br>Our room had no window, but faked the appearance by having a curtain anyway... nothing like a little bit of closet sleeping!!<br><br>Went for a swim at the beach/lagoon with our 1.60 euro bottle of red ...

We had a four hour train ride from Lisboa to Faro, taking the time to enjoy the Portuguese countryside rolling past in a blur of red-clay fields and olive trees.  It also gave us a chance to finally use our iPods and read for a bit, which we remembered doing a lot of on our last trip but haven't really done yet this trip.   Arriving in Faro, we loaded up with our bags and headed for the local info centre.  It was a beautiful walk through the main seaside ...

Its your choice. ; ) May 22, 2007 1:51PM I write to you now from a bus stop in Faro, Portugal, after a regretably late start to my day. I awoke in the peaceful city of Faro, Portugal yesterday 4:30PM with a gasp discovering I was the only soul left on the previously crowded bus from Albufeira. My anxiety was quickly quelled as the bus turned into a station that ...

Photo ofcourse. Silves twenty minutes train ride inland from Faro is quaint. It has the oldest remaining structure from the "Moors" around 5th 6th ...

... here and have been using the bus to get to places, such as Albufeira, a really nice seaside resort. It is certainly a bit more expensive. Rocky bought me a lovely lunch for my birthday, fresh sardines right on the sea front, this is certainly the life. The mosquitoes are still bothering us even though we are using spray on and plug in things. We will keep looking for a blue light. Anyway, we are ...
